Four Branches follows a fictional slave family as they make their way north to freedom in Canada, impacting the lives of four sets of brothers along the way.

This group of Civil War re-enactors might be representing a family escaping the chains of the south using the underground railroad.

Near the end of the war, the Union Army had
regiments of U.S. Colored Troops (USCT) and one such unit fought in the battle for New Market Heights on the morning of September 29th, 1864.
