The episode opens with the turning point of the war: the Battle of Gettysburg. For three days, 150,000 men would fight to the death, culminating in Pickett's legendary charge. This extended episode goes on to chronicle the fall of Vicksburg, the New York draft riots, the first use of black troops, and the western battles at Chickamauga and Chattanooga. It closes with the dedication of a new Union cemetary at Gettysburg, where Lincoln struggles to put into words what was happening to his people.
