The Road to Gettysburg

on BBC Two England

"...The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced, It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that toe here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

A dramatic chronicle of the Civil War between the Northern and Southern States of America which culminated in a bloody and heart-breaking battle, and led to one of the most stirring statements in modern history - Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address.
