According to The Boot, the eight-episode mini-series was directed by Mikael Salomon (Band of Brothers) and was written by Michael Frost Beckner.

'A good friend of ours [Beckner] who wrote the episode that we were in of CSI, it's taken him, like, 15 years to write this Civil War mini-series called To Appomattox," Jay DeMarcus said. " It's sort of like Band of Brothers for the Civil War: It follows the same group of guys around from the beginning of the American Civil War to the end."

DeMarcus will appear in four episodes of the series as well as take part in scoring the music.
