Surrender at Appomattox - April 9, 1865 - Directing & Costuming Showcase

On this day at Appomattox, Virginia - on April 9, 1865 - Robert E. Lee surrenders his 28,000 Confederate troops of the Army of Northern Virginia to Union General Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac, effectively ending the American Civil War. Forced to abandon the Confederate capital of Richmond, blocked from joining the surviving Confederate force in North Carolina, and harassed constantly by Union cavalry, Lee had no other option.
An exciting sample of our Historical Recreations work for the series "Legends & Lies: The Civil War" - Action and Dramatic "Style Reel" to showcase the Directing, Historical Costumes, Special Effects and Set Design work provided by the 'LionHeart FilmWorks' and 'Historical Wardrobe' teams for the show.
The scenes showcased here were filmed at the actual location in Appomattox, Virginia - now managed by the National Park Service.
The series "Legends & Lies: The Civil War" was produced for Fox News Channel by Warm Springs Productions and it examines the notable figures and events of the U.S. Civil War. From the birth of the Republican Party to the Confederacy's first convention, the Underground Railroad to the Emancipation Proclamation, the Battle of Gettysburg to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the series reveals the amazing and often little known stories behind the battle lines of America's bloodiest war and debunks the myths that surround its greatest figures, including Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, General Robert E. Lee, Frederick Douglass, Stonewall Jackson, John Singleton Mosby, Ulysses S. Grant, Jefferson Davis, John Wilkes Booth, William Tecumseh Sherman, and more.

Great looking Lincoln, and great doc overall.

He was a good Lincoln. I always think of Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln, but a good documentary.

4 years of war and over 600,000 lives lost. The Civil War was this nation’s baptism of blood and fire. It tested our wills and was an end to one era and a start to a knew one. We must never forget the Civil War it is even today the most vital part of our nations history that still defines us today.

Newer demographic data showed about 750 000 dead people. The Southern death was bigger!
