The Last Days of the Civil War

The Last Days of the Civil War

Produced for the A&E network, this 2003 documentary recounts the waning days of the Civil War, including Gen. Robert E. Lee's retreat westward from Petersburg (with the battles of Five Forks, Sailor's Creek and the eventual surrender at Appomattox). In addition, the bloody 10-month skirmish at Cold Harbor is chronicled, and Abraham Lincoln is extensively profiled, as is Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy.
