I started taping the burn's series and then decided it wasn't worth the it. The first night, he dug into slavery and presented a case for victimology. He fails to address many issues of the time period. His series is nothing new, just a compilation of good music and photography - that's all. TO give him more credit is a disservice to historians and scholars everywhere.
The South didn't lose, we're just re-organizing : )
Yeah, lots of race baiting, but the very end tonight almost brought a tear to this cold-hearted, social security-stealing, racist right-winger...
Apparently, in the 1910's they had a veterans' reunion or something at Gettysburg and all these old vets lined up to re-enact Pickett's Charge and after the southerners began marching toward Little Round Top or whatever, the north ran down from the top of the hill and started hugging them and crying and stuff.
