To commemorate the historic event, Nashville Public Television (NPT) and the Renaissance Center present Tennessee Civil War 150, a series of documentaries delving into life in Tennessee during the war. Tennessee Civil War 150 focuses on several areas of life in Tennessee, including secession, the role of women, rivers & railways, music, the African-American experience and the Battle of Shiloh.
