This show is based on "letters, diaries, historical documents and Walt Whitman's poetry", so rather than providing a real story of the war (which was somewhat confusing to a poor Canadian! :-), it offers little pieces of personal history. Which is, of course, very interesting. But if you want to know more about the actual war, here are some of my favourites sites I've found...there are countless ones out there:

The Civil War
Poetry and Music of the War Between States
Civil War Timeline
