  • HI 381: The Civil War

    3.00 Credits
    Bentley University

    The PBS series The Civil War made television history, attracting a record number of viewers. It not only demonstrated the superb quality of this documentary presentation but also pointed to Americans' abiding preoccupation, one might even say "love affair," with this segment of their past. The Civil War stands at the very center of that past. The problems and issues of that day are the problems and issues of our own; the clash of views continues unabated. This course examines that clash and the ways it has been presented in literature, motion pictures, and, most recently, TV.
