Authentic voices shape this fresh look at a familiar story, the American Civil War, beginning with the rapid buildup of tension between North and South and continuing into early summer of 1862.

Their options press with insistence (enlisting, fleeing, buying a substitute, or paying a fee) as the demands intensify.
