In this episode:
This episode explores the opening weeks of the American Civil War, when both North and South believed the conflict would be decided quickly. It examines the build-up to the First Battle of Bull Run — the first major clash between Union and Confederate forces — and shows how the stunning Confederate victory shattered illusions of a short war and sent Washington D.C. into chaos and fear.

The series:
The American Civil War was one of the most devastating conflicts in US history — a brutal clash between North and South that raged for four long, bloody years. From 1861 to 1865, over 600,000 soldiers perished on the battlefields, while countless towns and cities lay in ruins. Brother fought brother in a bitter struggle that split the young nation apart, fuelled by deep political, economic, and ideological divisions.
This gripping documentary series delves into the causes and key moments of the Civil War — from the first shots fired at Fort Sumter to the final surrender at Appomattox. Through rare historical photographs, expert analysis, and vivid battlefield re-creations, we relive the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers, generals, and civilians who endured this tragic conflict.
Explore the strategies of legendary commanders like Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, witness decisive battles such as Gettysburg and Antietam, and discover how the fight over slavery and state’s rights reshaped America forever.
With in-depth storytelling and powerful visuals, The American Civil War tells the story of a nation torn in two — and how it rose from the ashes to become stronger than ever.
