- In the spring of 1865, the United States celebrated the end of four years of Civil War.

Thank you very much for this incredible piece of history!
I had to turn it off after the first 90 seconds. Its so unrealistic. Might as well be a Marvel movie. Hey American History Tellers, when you try to tell American History, try to be a little more serious and not so dramtic about it. Thanks. Don't tell me what to imagine. Just tell me what happened.
