Megan McCormick travels back in time to the heart of the American Civil War.

Travel to South Carolina slavery plantations, Abraham Lincoln’s house in Springfield, Illinois, Fort Sumter and Charleston, Gettysburg, and the haunted confederate base of Farnsworth House. From re-enactments to the Civil War Ball to the prison at Andersonville, Megan sees first hand the kind of conditions that these POW’s had to endure. Megan then heads to Cedar Creek to see the re-enactment of a crucial Union victory before travelling to Appomattox, where General Lee surrendered. She finishes her historical tour of the American Civil War by returning to Gettysburg for Remembrance Day. A journey through American history not to be missed. (52 minutes)
