Rating:  - A major event in U. S. history that is largely ignored

Rating: - A documentary film about a major, but not well known war.

The film, using many old photographs and voices, recreates the thoughts, motives & feelings of the times. Narration provided by Garrison Keillor.
Well worth watching.
