Would like to see it, but I gave up HBO a few years ago when IMHO it became pretty worthless (to me).

PBS shot a series titled "The Adams Chronicles" back when I was in college. I was an extra in that, portraying a "Civil War" * soldier. It was fun. The episode that I was in involved a descendant of John Adams writing a letter to his wife about training the troops.



* The term "Civil War" is technically wrong for he conflict from 1861 to 1865. A civil war is fought over the control of the government. The CSA did not seek control of the Federal government, they had seceded from the union and started their own government. They did not make any attempt to "take over" the federal goverment which would have still been in control in the non-seceding states.

So 70's are you, in a polite southern way, describing the war of northern aggression as just that, as opposed to a war - just joking of course - you make an interesting argument regarding the term "Civil War"...a
