During the years 1861�1865, America was a nation torn apart by war. From terrible land combat to fierce battles at sea, from mothers losing sons to brothers fighting brothers, the Civil War was a conflict that profoundly affected all that it touched . . . and changed our nation forever. Witness the scenes and encounter the words of those caught up in a nation at war with itself.
