Mercy Street is a PBS show based on the civil war-era that is centered around a hospital and the rise of alliances and their inevitable failures. This "hospital" is actually a hotel in Alexandria, Va. that has been converted into a hospital by the Union Army. The main character is a volunteer abolitionist nurse named, Mary. It is a show centered around loyalty and the lack there of in this hotel turned hospital during an extremely controversial time in American history. I think this show is extremely diverse due to its "history channel" type feel and alluring dramatic twists. This is why I'd like to share it with the class.
