The game series is accompanied by other Civil War products produced and distributed by the History Channel.The series overall took place in the aforementioned American Civil War, a conflict spurned by the debate of whether or not slavery should continue to exist and expand in the United States.

Each game places the players in the shoes of either a general or a common soldier fighting in the civil war, depending on the game. The setting of each game and its mission were created to give an authentic feel of the time period, from the environment, diction, as well as the firearms and technology. There isn’t much of a story in the series, although there are briefings before every mission, as well as cinematic cutscenes, that present the mission's stakes and objectives. Several named silent protagonists are playable in the first-person shooter games.The games of the series are:
