The Civil War and Abraham Lincoln Documentary Films Collection on DVD.

An original production published by The Classic Archives!

The American Civil War (1861–1865) (also referred to as War Between the States, among other names) was a civil war between the United States of America (the "Union") and the Southern slave states of the newly formed Confederate States of America under Jefferson Davis. The Union included all of the free states and the five slaveholding border states and was led by Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party. Republicans opposed the expansion of slavery into territories owned by the United States, and their victory in the presidential election of 1860 resulted in seven Southern states declaring their secession from the Union even before Lincoln took office. The Union rejected secession, regarding it as rebellion, and the war began.

The man at the center of it all was Abraham Lincoln. This DVD contains a stirring biography of his life, from early childhood, to death. Also included a re-enactment of his Gettysburg Address, as a great general documentary on the Civil War.

This DVD runs almost 2 hours and has a fully interactive menu. A list of films is as follows:
