Excellent Realistic Civil War Short Film

I just watched Dixie (1924) on YouTube. The entire 24 minute short silent film is available there. It begins in the last months of 1864 with the Allen family as Mrs Allen deals with slaves expecting freedom and all kinds of shortages caused by the war. Her husband and sons are all in the army. Then the film goes ahead six months and Lee's surrender at Appomattox is faithfully recreated. The details of the event are filmed as though the camera was actually there recording it live. The civilian clothing and military uniforms are historically correct. Check out Dixie (1924) if you can. It's a brilliant retelling of the last days of the Civil War.

Trivia
This was first telecast on New York City's pioneer television station, WNBT, on 28 October 1941, and was preceded and followed in succeeding weeks, by others in the series, but not shown in sequential order.
