To Appomattox

Salute of Honor by Mort Kunstler

"To Appomattox" is an eight-hour television event mini-series on the American Civil War.

American soil is under attack, the nation engaged in its most unpopular war. The population is divided on every political and social issue.

In the White House, sits the most hated President in American history—believed by more than half the citizens to have stolen the election to his first term; when he runs for his second term, he will barely beat a war hero Democrat who campaigns on a popular anti-war platform. Inept generals will make a mockery of predictions of easy initial victory;

In Congress, anti-administration committees will convene to investigate the conduct of this war. As the war drags on over years (instead of months), the United States will lose its overseas allies while introducing the world to weapons and tactics more devastating than ever before seen…

• Carl Edwards - General John B. Gordon, Confederate General selected by Lee to surrender the Army of Northern Virginia, who became one of the two "authors" of "Honor Answering Honor" and, by this gesture, returned the private Southern soldier to the Union with respect and dignity.
