Framed by former President Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg address, this documentary takes a hard look at the battle of Gettysburg from the perspective of the soldiers on either side of the Civil War. The no-nonsense approach to the material emphasizes the sacrifices made by both the Union and Confederate armies who made up the 50,000 people who died during the 3-day battle that forever changed the course of the United States. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi
