For your final forum, you will watch 2 short web video clips and read one article.

Using the knowledge you've gained over the last 9 weeks, both from the videos and textbooks, consider these last sources of information.

In the first video, you hear some information about the making of a Civil War movie called Gods and Generals (we did not see the movie and it was not required or assigned for this class) and claims to its historical accuracy.

In the second video, you hear directly from Ken Burns, the producer of the video series, all 9 hours of it, that you've watched these past 9 weeks. Again, focus on the comments that deal with historical considerations and accuracy.

Finally, read the article, which is a historical critique of Burn's series and its accuracy.

Making sure you reveal your exposure to these sources in your posts and replies to one another, attempt to answer this question:

In addition to the textbooks, was the viewing of Burn's "The Civil War", in light of this critique about the shortcomings of the series, a worthwhile or necessary requirement in gaining a better understanding of the historical truth of this period in our nation's past?
