- Description
- Raw Footage Description
- This is raw footage of an interview that Ken Burns conducted with Robert Penn Warren, a Southern writer. The interview takes place on July 9, 1986. At the beginning of this interview, Warren reads from some works including ?The Legacy of the Civil War.? For the rest of the interview, Warren offers stories from the Civil War from his perspective of growing up in the South. Instead of taking a historical and factual perspective, Warren provides anecdotes about the Civil War that demonstrate its complexities. He also describes the importance of localism for those who fought in the war and the importance of community. Towards the end of the interview, Warren shares the racism he observed in the South.
