RE: "The Abolitionists" on PBS
I ordered the BBC cd of 'Copper' and found it great. It takes place in NYC in 1864 and is a fascinating look at the effect of the war on the Blacks, Irish and wealthy who lived there during that time. The costumes and sets are great and it is true to history. Very gritty. It begins after the draft riots and ends with the attempt to burn the city. Even JWB makes an appearance.
I can't wait for season2. For those who haven't seen it - it's worth your while. |
