More Details

Summary:

First part shows the First Battle of Bull Run. This battle was a stunning victory for the Confederacy led by Stonewall Jackson and a humiliating loss for the Union. It also sent a clear message to a once overconfident North: The war was going to be long, costly, and bloody. Second part describes Pickett's charge. Did the vain Confederate general George Edward Pickett have something to prove? At Gettysburg, he led his troops on a slow, suicidal "charge" into the center of a Union line that virtually annihilated his division.
