From the Paper:

"Perhaps no other battle in American history has been more important than the Battle of Gettysburg. In this battle the course of the Civil War and eventually the fate of the country was decided. While this is not the only battle discussed in Ken Burns and Time Life's 1989 film The Civil War: 1863 the Universe of Battle; From Gettysburg to Lookout Mountain, it is certainly the most important. The film also takes a look at the battles of Vicksburg and Tennessee, and shows the reaction of New York and President Lincoln to the events. Together we will look at these events as they are described in the film and analyze their importance."
