Narrated by Steven Lang, this film sets forth many of the lesser-known facts about the siege of Vicksburg that occurred during the Civil War. Under the direction of Major General Ulysses S. Grant, forces marched on this city, trapping many poorly prepared Confederate soldiers there. This victory over Lieutenant General John Pemberton's soldiers was one of the most decisive and devastating ones that took place in 1863. It basically destroyed the Confederacy's control over this important area surrounding the Mississippi. It has been estimated that close to 19,000 Americans lost their lives during this bloody battle. This film brings to life the many different societal values and practices that tore this country apart less than two centuries ago.

The aftermath of the War Between the States was for many as terrible as the hostility itself. This riveting DVD presents the unvarnished story of the traumatic Reconstruction period.
Slavery was not wiped out by the Civil War, only driven underground.
The post-war chaos was a breeding ground for opportunists from criminal to political.
Surviving the Civil War was just the beginning of a terrible time of suffering.
The Civil War was only half the battle.
When General Robert E. Lee signed the terms of surrender in Wilmer McLean's home in Appomattox, Virginia, it marked the end of a terrible period of conflict that nearly destroyed this young country. But it also marked the beginning of a period of recovery that was in many ways as painful as the war itself.
Now, THE HISTORY CHANNEL® shows in stunning detail the trials that befell America as it healed during the Reconstruction. Blood continued to flow freely long after peace was made. Murder, terrorism and chaos filled the void left by the devastation of the war. "Free" black men and women remained enslaved. Race and tax riots, marauders and insurgents, profiteers, carpetbaggers, the KKK and Jesse James all contributed to the turmoil.
Using archival images, accurate dramatizations and the latest scholarship, Aftershock: Beyond the Civil War is a comprehensively informative and dramatic account of this terrible, shameful episode in American history.

One of the great routs, indeed one of the great shocks, of the Civil War was the Confederate defeat at Shiloh. They had chosen the battlefield; they had chosen the moment to attack; and they achieved almost total strategic and tactical surprise. Twelve hours after their surprise attack they were in a commanding position, but the next day they withdrew in disarray. For nearly 150 years Confederate failure has been blamed on the fact that they lost valuable time at the Hornet's Nest, where a detachment of Union soldiers held the line. But through forensic history Battlefield Detectives uncovers a very different story of why things went so badly for the Confederates at the Battle of Shiloh.
