Ken Burns made a very, very good documentary of the American Civil War for PBS in the early nineties. He's gone on to do other ones, on baseball, jazz, and an early twentieth-century boxer, but he's most famous for the Civil War one. (It also has a brilliant soundtrack which has been used in a billion things since.)
My character... well, he was going to be part of my One 'Original' Story Idea but that kind of fell by the wayside when I realized it was 97% backstory and 3% plot. So he has a little personality but mostly he's just anger.

And what a****** is Ken Burns?
