The famous year of 1863 is portrayed here, beginning with the infamous battle of Gettysburg in the first week of July. The carnage of Pickett's suicidal charge, ordered by the usually- reliable Gen. Robert E. Lee, is described vividly. It's not a pretty picture with heads literally flying in the air and other brutalities.
The women's role in the Civl War is detailed in this segment. They help the men by supplying food and medical help, as well as moral support. Women, especially in the South, were anything but casual bystanders. Once again, the South has almost no resources and the average citizen's' house is turned into a hospital.
Also interesting here was the account of the shelling of Vicksburg, where people were literally living in made-do caves to escape the intense bombing.
