Lincoln is re-elected President as 1864 comes to a close
2001-05-20
The seventh volume in the celebrated documentary on The Civil War by Ken Burns focuses on the last half of 1864 and the events effective the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. With the Army of the Potomac stalled outside Petersburg, Virginia it is Sherman's assault on Atlanta that gives the President the momentum to defeat his opponent, George B. McClellan. Other sections of this episode cover the Battle of the Crater, Phil Sheridan's campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, and the military brilliance of Nathan Bedford Forrest. David McCullough's simple narration and Shelby Foote's memorable anecdotes, aided by some of our most distinguished actors such as Sam Waterson and Jason Robards, Jr., give the Civil War its voices. Burns uses hundred of photographs and illustrations along with a deeply textured soundtrack of sound effectives and evocative music to make this document as compelling as any dramatic film.
