On March 4, 2014, be the first to see an episode of the upcoming 5-part National Public Television series, Civil War: The Untold Story! Through special arrangements with producer Chris Wheeler, who also produced the KMNBP’s new movie, Kennesaw: One Last Mountain, the Kennesaw State University Civil War Center will host a program featuring Episode 5 at 7:00 pm. This series is described as , “ a visually stunning and absorbing new 5-hour documentary series that breaks new ground by examining the war through the lens of the Western Theater-battles in the strategic lands between the Appalachians and the Mississippi river.”

“With Malice toward None” is the title of Episode 5; it opens with footage from the most significant battle at Kennesaw Mountain on June 27, 1864, the battle at Cheatham Hill. Next it introduces the presidential campaign and then there is a lengthy segment on the Battles for Atlanta. The story goes on to the March to the Sea and the relatively untold story of Hood’s March north to Nashville. The episode ends with a moving summation of the war including a segment on “Civil War to Civil Rights.” Civil War: The Untold Story provides new insights into the relatively unknown roles African Americans played in the conflict – from enslaved to emancipated to soldier.
