The ENTIRE American Civil War Explained in 28 Minutes

In 2020, the US government made its last payment for the Civil War. Here is the whole war in 30 minutes: slavery and the road to secession, Fort Sumter, Bull Run, the ironclads, Antietam, Gettysburg and Vicksburg, Sherman's march, Appomattox and Lincoln's assassination. Along the way: the man who stole a Confederate warship, Lee's battle plans wrapped around three cigars, the arm with its own grave, and the warship that surrendered in England seven months after the war.
