Over half of the soldiers killed during the Civil War were never identified. This changed the American Psyche in many ways, Among the changes we owe to the Civil War are the creation of national cemeteries and the birth of a duty to identify dead soldiers and notify their next of kin.
A new film by Ric Burns, based on a The Republic of Suffering by Drew Gilpin Faust will premier on PBS on September 18, 2012
