About This Item
19A haunting exploration of the earliest days of the Civil War. Set in the lush hills and mountains of Virginia, it recalls fundamental issues so polarizing that the people of Virginia were willing to divide their state over them – a decision that would ultimately influence the outcome of the war. In a defiant act to sustain President Lincoln's war effort, Virginia Unionists created their own state government in 1861 – destined to become the new state of West Virginia. Their actions blocked what should have been Confederate control of the territory and closed one of their key gateways to the Union States forever changing a nation.
