Anyone watching this show?
It was on Sunday but watching it now.
I really thought someone would have a discussion on this.
FOX has made sure to advertise it.
No.
Doris Kearns Goodwin is a socialist historian.
It’s little wonder that she idolizes Lincoln so much.
History Channel? If so, we didn’t watch because Obama was in it. The one on Grant was pretty good though.
Interesting.
Plus Obama is in it.
Not a big fan of Lincoln so I don’t expect anything but slathering praise and making it mostly about “enslaved laborers”.
Yep, watched the trailer and saw Obama and said nope not watching.
Kearns uses Clinton and Obama for interviews. Turned it off each time
Yes, a few hours great, really enjoying it.
Better alternative is to go to CSpan - Civil War series. Usually, renown professors or Natl Park Directors giving talks - usually at the top 1-3 annual symposiums.
Aside from that, how was the play?...
It is fiction.
I’d rather have the Rex Hamilton version.
Police Squad.

I didn’t watch it because I don’t watch any form of race-baiting. Disgusting trash!
But few people realize that Abe Lincon was also an accomplished vampire hunter:

Not sure where you’re coming from on that one, but I did learn only recently that he was a well-regarded wrestler in his younger days.
No. I wouldn’t watch ANY American Media production concerning any historical American event. Ever. Anyone who does is sure to be exposed to Leftist Propaganda and a distortion of Truth.
Nope. I figure most of us had better consider getting ready for the next civil war instead.
Learn from the last and prepare for the next.
After what happened in Canada today, we better take it all to heart.
