Although the Civil War marked the end of the massive battles between the Union and the Confederacy, the years that followed were by no means peaceful and many of the hatreds that fueled the war still boiled over. This dramatic, star-studded film focuses on one of the darkest moments during the Reconstruction period, as attempts to provide labor rights often ended in bloody massacres. Billy Zane, Sean Young, and Armand Assante help bring this tumultuous and often overlooked period of American history to life.
