Ken Burns and the Living Memory of the Civil War | The Civil War Review Conclusion


Listen Later

Ten weeks later, we have finished our review of Ken Burns' 1990 Civil War documentary series. And what a journey it's been. As always, there is a lot to say--even thirty years after this series came out, much of what Burns tells us about the Civil War is relevant, contentious, and fascinating. 

We summarized the ninth and final episode of the series, which covers the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the fate of the documentary's main characters, and the legacy of the Civil War. 

Thanks for joining us, and for the exciting discussions we've had with you all the past ten weeks. On this podcast, we discuss the last episode of The Civil War: A Film by Ken Burns.

Catch up with us as we go through the series. All episodes are available for free here: www.archive.org/details/ken.-burns.-the.-civil.-war.

Keep your eyes open for our next series!
