| [00:16.68] | On the twelfth of April, |
| [00:19.58] | Confederate guns opened fire on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor |
| [00:23.91] | thus beginning the bloodiest conflict in American History -- |
| [00:28.31] | 620,000 casulties -- more than all other American wars combined 62 |
| [00:35.80] | The Civil War remains this nation's single most defining experience |
| [00:40.52] | ultimately giving new meaning to the word "Freedom" |
| [00:44.58] | Walt Whitman, a young newspaperman |
| [00:47.84] | destined to become America's greatest poet wrote: |
| [00:51.46] | "Future years will never know the seething hell “ |
| [00:53.78] | and the black infernal background of this war -- |
| [00:57.70] | and it is best they should not-- |
| [01:00.16] | the real war will never get in the books." |
