New England and the Civil War

WINNER! 2001 Telly Award

Produced by: Seven-time EMMY Award-winner Ronny Lisa Simmons

Frederick Douglass, Amos Lawrence, Clara Barton, and Louisa May Alcott are just some of the New Englander’s whose powerful stories portray this dramatic era in New England history.

True and rarely told stories from the battlefield, sick bed, factory and prison, bring this documentary a unique perspective into this dark period of an emerging nation. The region’s landscapes, cities, factories and small towns share the background with historical events such as the Fugitive Slave and Kansas-Nebraska Acts.

A rare and compelling look into a history shaped by the people who lived the stories that propelled New Englanders to action.
