I have the dvd's from the local library but there is no indication as to what is on each disc and even here - IMDB again no clear idea - appreciate any help.

They happened in 1863 so it should be either episode #4 "Simply Murder (1863)" or #5 "The Universe of Battle (1863)". I have a copy I bought in Afghanistan so it might be a bootleg copy from China so I'm not sure if it aligns correctly. But I think it would be disc 5 or 6.

I just saw that Wednesday evening so it's toward the end of the documentary. That is about the Irish saying they are not fighting to free the slaves and starting a riot where many blacks lost their lives.
