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.

The Mathew Brady Story' brings to the television screen the work of the famed photographer who, during the Civil War, earned the title of "The First Combat Photographer." In this documentary, Brady's crisp visual account of the Civil War and its men is brought to life as music, sound, and movement team up with Brady's photographic skill to give THE BIG PICTURE audience an authentic sense of what it was like to live and fight through the years when our nation's unity hung in the balance. In the "Clara Barton Story," the personal chronicle of the woman who was instrumental in founding the Red Cross - the accounting, in her own words, of her part in a single day of the Battle of Antietam - is documented through scenes shot at the actual site of the battle, near Hagerstown, Maryland. Hagerstown residents ably portray Miss Barton and those with whom - and for whom - she worked, in the midst of that tragic day and night of fighting, adding visual drama to a narrative excerpted from words written by Clara Barton herself.
