Abstract
In our fourth program we look at the years 1846 to 1865. The two wars America fought in this period could not have been more different. The Mexican American War of 1846 was a brief, almost light-hearted campaign that ended quickly and brought vast new territory to the nation. Fifteen years later, the ultimate pain of war fell directly upon the country for the first time. These were the darkest years militarily for the Republic...a time when Americans turned new, more lethal, weapons on each other in the Civil War. Join George Kennedy as he hosts this fourth part of an eight part series, The Complete History of the United States' Wars, 1700-2004.
