President Lincoln determines to preserve the Union, but it costs him his own life. The country is stirred by the words of Harriet Beecher Stowe as she describes the tragic life of slaves taken from their families and forced into a life of hard labor. Generals Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee lead their men into bloody battles to determine the course of our nation. Now children ages 6 to 12 can join this historical battle and make movable action figures of courageous men and women of the American Civil War.

Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, and a Union soldier.
