| | sweetmarie 12/27/2009 | | I have enjoyed these movies for years.I watch the whole set at least once a year.It is one of my favorities that Patrick Swayze has done I wish he would of been in book 3 the final chapter |
| | 09/20/2009 | | North and South I & II brought the Civil War era to life. this helped many US history students understand what was going on during this turmoil time. This should be a requirement for all US history classes that cover the Civil War era, even the pre Civil and post Civil War eras. |
