Fernando Tielve in The Devil's Backbone (2001)

A list of TV series, episodes, documentaries, and movies that take place during the American Civil War or is a major plot point to that particular episode etc.  Please note the titles of specific episodes of anthology shows and regular TV shows are in alphabetical order.

Some of the earliest broadcast TV dramas, which were mostly plays (since consistent scheduled programming was not in practice yet, apart from sports broadcasting/newsreel coverage, and renting out space for one show to film in every week was also impractical at that time).

None of these are known to exist, since they were generally not aired from a pre-recorded film print and VCR/Kinetoscope technology to record programs was not yet invented; what few programs we do have before the 1950s survive largely because of freak meteorological accidents, causing TV receivers to pick up signals from already aired programs in the atmosphere (and enthusiasts who loved the tech would record these broadcasts off their TV onto film reels, not realizing what they saved). Atmospheric phenomenons and screen recordings like this are how early coverage of BBC from 1936 still survive; but apart from such exceptions, these programs are gone forever.
