Dansville High School LMC

The Civil War : War Is All Hell, 1865

This program begins with William Techumseh Sherman's March to the Sea, which spells the end of the Confederacy. Lee's tattered Army of Northern Virginia flees westward towards a tiny crossroads town called Appomattox Court House. There the dramatic and deeply moving surrender of Lee to Grant takes place. The program ends in Washington where John Wilkes Booth begins to dream of vengence for the South.
