Overview

It was a war filled with larger-than-life personalities. On one side was legendary Confederate general Robert E. Lee, formerly a respected U.S. Army officer and one-time superintendent of West Point. Union forces were, ultimately, led by Ulysses S. Grant, a soldier's soldier who initially doubted his capacity for high command. Their stories are only two that make this monumental conflict so endlessly fascinating.
