Problem is the underdog was the South and always will be a more interesting story than the North or getting into Slavery (which is getting a little TIRED), no matter what they try and do at Gettysburg. 70% percent of the reenactors want to play the part of the Rebel, LOL.

Robert E. LEE gets more screen time than any of the Northern Generals in any of the recent movies. Lets face it Mead and Grant are Boring.

There was no "Gone with the Wind" movie about the North, LOL.

Michael and Jeff Shaara wrotes books about the Southern side of the War, and I don't know of any popular books about the Northern side of the Civil War, are there any?

Slavery was wrong and the story of slavery is a little over exposed, we've had Roots and Amstad, and I don't see them being replayed much on TV, wonder why?

Bruce Catton wrote numerous good books about the Civil War, one of which is This Hallowed Ground: The Story of the Union Side of the Civil War.
