Thanks for the heads up Michael :salute::

Hopefully they will show the series on the UK History Channel....if they can fit it in between Storage Wars and Pawn Stars :rolleyes2:

it's worth watching...
I wouldn't lie to you...
if nothing else...
the pictures alone are amazing...
it goes all the way from Fort Sumter to the Reconstruction Era...

some of the pics are extremely graphic...

Not to change the subject, Mike, but when you wrote, "extremely graphic", I had to comment. I was watching the Civil War show last night and decided to channel surf. I switched to PBS and they had this show on the liberation of a concentration camp during WWII. It was so graphic, I had to turn the channel after about 15-minutes. Wow, it was pure evil what man does to his fellow man.

wow...that sounds like a tough watch...I understand you're having to change the channel...

and I'm not trying to deter anyone from watching "Blood and Glory" with my "extremely graphic comment"...I managed to watch it...I got through it...I was just offering a short cautionary message to Treefroggers that might be interested in viewing it that it is pretty gross at times...I encourage you to watch it...it was a great informative show on American history...

they do have a disclaimer about horrifying images after every commercial break...

"The Civil War in Color" has some vivid color images of piles of human limbs (arms, legs, feet) that were severed by field doctors...pictures of Union soldiers that starved to death at Andersonville...close up color pictures of slave's scarred backs from repeated whippings...close up color pictures of bloated, bloodied, decaying bodies lying on the various battlefields...

I'm not saying it's un-watchable because it's too gory... again...I watched it...but it is pretty brutal...

I'm sure what you watched on the genocidal brutalities of WWII was just as horrifying...if not more so...
