Ken Burns is known for having produced very good documentaries.
2014 is the 25th anniversary of his epic The Civil War.
My wife and I are watching it on Netflix, and it really is impressive. All the photos from that era make you nearly feel as if you're there.
The writing is superb and the use of well known actors as voices was I'm sure a first of its kind.
My paternal grandmother was from Galveston and never truly changed her southern ways. She married my grandpa, of Norwegian descent from Minn. they lived in Biloxi, MS for their last 40 years or so, just minutes from Jefferson Davis' retirement home.
Watching this makes me think there probably weren't many north/south marriages back in the 1940's, but maybe I'm wrong.
