5.0 out of 5 stars spectacular historical saga, July 5, 1999
By A Customer
Yep, you've guessed it. This is the best video of all time. I was only 9 years old when this movie was first on in 1985. Since then I have been glued to television to watch the reruns and my videos. During my 10th year of high school, I persuaded my parents to purchase this video for me. Through school, I found this video to be my comfort and relief. Today, as a school teacher, I find these videos to be not only a high light, but also an aid in the classroom. If you feel a strong attraction to the Civil War period, or even the slightest bit of interest in understanding our past history, this is the video to do all of this. I have all 3 books on video. I watch them at least once every month. So, add up all the times you are able to watch this and you'll understand the desire and interest people like me have had since the beginning of these books, miniseries, videos, etc. Once, you see these videos you will fall in love with them. They have been my companion for the past 8 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best mini-series I have ever seen!, February 17, 2000
By A Customer
I recently watched North and South, and I was swept away into a time period that is such an important part of our American history. I feel that we often forget about the way our country was once torn apart. This depiction of what the North and South were like in the mid 1800's was excellent. I enjoyed it immensely and enjoyed Book II as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply EXCELLENT, May 4, 2004
By Erica Khamari "eschue1" (Glen Burnie, MD United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
North and South by far has to be the best TV miniseries of all time. The saga of the Hazard and Main families is set against a back drop of a fairly young country about to be divided by civil war.

The series begins with Orry Main (Patrick Swayze) of Mount Royal, South Carolina setting off to go to the Military Academy at West Point. On his way he rescues the very beautiful Madeline Fabray(Leslie-Anne Down) from a buggy accident and a snake. After taking Ms. Fabray to her destination, he is back on his journey to West Point. Another character that Orry meets on his trip is George Hazard(James Read) and they soon become life long friends. North and South follows both Orry and George during their time at the Point, the Mexican War and after. There is an all-star cast too many to mention.

This first installment of the North and South Trilogy follows the lives of both Orry and George and their respective families through the period leading up to the Civil War. North and South written by John Jakes is the best historical fiction book I have read and this Miniseries has stayed true to form. Because of the historical correctness I would say that this movie has enough appeal for those men that can't get enough of Civil War history or even general war history. The main characters in this are fictional, however there are references to historical figures like Lincoln, Grant and Lee to name a few. However there is certainly plenty of appeal to women, namely Swayze and there is an excellent love story as well. That being said I definitely recommend seeing this miniseries as well as North and South Book Two: Love and War.
