The American Civil War Explained In 3+ Hours

The Confederate force's surprise attack against the Union in Shiloh, Tennessee results in some of the most brutal fighting of the Civil War. General Ulysses S. Grant's counterattack at Shiloh leads to victory, and thousands of escaping slaves seek refuge with Union forces. The Emancipation Proclamation changes the war from one of reunification to one of ending slavery, and gives African Americans freedom to fight.
