Title: Not entirely an honest documentary
Review: While it's interesting to hear more about the man who led the CSA (while most material is about northern leaders), but some of this is clearly skewed. Three examples:1. The Emancipation Proclamation: This is presented as an empty gesture by Lincoln. It should be understood that Lincoln was afraid of losing the border states.2. The Sherman/Grant/Sheridan strategies of total war weren't presented with any reasoning (destroying the continuing means of making war material, breaking the will of the people, etc).3. The exchange policy that Grant ended was mentioned without mentioning why Grant ended it (black solders would be enslaved and their white officers would be shot).It's an interesting documentary, but there are definitely dishonest representations made.
