Take a personal journey through history to see that the split between North and South was not a surprise--the U.S. had been evolving into two separate societies and cultures ever since independence. This program clearly illustrates the rise of the Republican Party and the emergence of Abraham Lincoln, the moves toward secession within the South, industrialization in the North, and the impact of the cotton gin on the economic development of the South. It also traces the origins of slavery in North America.Ages 15-Adults.

Bloody stalemate [videorecording] / by Batty, Peter.(CARDINAL)183657; Bishop, Ed.(CARDINAL)220886; Fairman, Blain.(CARDINAL)222404; Arts and Entertainment Newtwork.; Channel Four (Great Britain)(CARDINAL)190938; Home Vision (Firm)(CARDINAL)195693;

Written and directed by Peter Batty ; associate producer, David Batty ; cameraman, John Warwick ; film editor, Noel Chanan.Narrated by Ed Bishop ; additional narration by Blain Fairman ; commentary by Jean Baker, Henry Steele Commager, William Cooper, William Davis, David Donald, Eric Foner, Shelly Foote, William Frassinito, George Reaves, Armistead Robinson, and William Still.The War begins in earnest as military preparations and skirmishes evolve into real battles and real blood, but Confederacy commanders fail to exploit their initial stunning victory at First Manassas. With the blockade of the Southern river and seaboard ports and the Union's decisive victory at Shiloh, both sides soon realize the conflict will be long and costly. This facinating episode recounts the Battle of Antietam, where more Americans died in a single day than on any field of battle before or since, and concludes with Lincoln's first Emancipation Proclamation, which cleverly turns the War into a fight to free slaves rather than a dispute over states' rights.Ages 15-Adults.

Written and directed by Peter Batty ; associate producer, David Batty ; cameraman, John Warwick ; film editor, Noel Chanan.Narrated by Ed Bishop ; additional narration by Blain Fairman ; commentary by Burke Davis, William Davis, Wilson Greene, Herman Hattaway, Michael Holt, Jay Luvaas, Grady McWhiney, James Robertson, Richard Sommers, Emory Thomas, Frank Vandiver, and Bertram Wyatt-Brown.The going gets tougher for everyone in 1862, even for President Lincoln. His military commanders are squabbling, his political popularity is waning, and the North seems unable to exploit its industrial and numerical superiority. Meanwhile, the South learns that neither strength nor time are on their side, and help from Europe will not materialize. But in the summer of 1863, the pace begins to quicken. The Union's decisive victory at Gettysburg where one-third of General Lee's forces are destroyed--and the capture of the strategic point of Vicksburg on the Mississippi River just one day later--mark a crucial turning point.Ages 15-Adults.
