The left wing historians are all giddy and excited for this upcoming mockumentary - that means the safe assumption is that they are going to continue to get the American Story incorrect because they have historical fiefdoms to protect.
The topics they cover I am sure they will likely get many of them correct.
The problems will mostly surround the topics they do not cover. Omission is the gold card of journalists and left wing historians alike in order to control the narrative and thus, control reality.

I’ve watched a fair amount of Ken Burns’ stuff, but certainly not all of it. It seems to me that he has a real fetish for black men. I’m guessing that while the Founding Fathers get a lot of press, Ken will explain to us that the real driving force of the American Revolution was strong noble black men.

Pictures with music and voiceovers. It is just a Powerpoint presentation.

And I’m sure slavery will be prominently covered.
My city was named for the 7th American president.....a revolutionary war era figure, he owned as many as 300 slaves in his lifetime.
I’ve always found it more than a little humorous that city leaders have always turned a blind eye to that fact. Lol!

This clown catapulted to fame primarily on the back of Shelby Foote’s amazing Civil War series. Judging by the trailer this latest work will be exactly what we all fear it will be. I hope this is the period to his and PBS’ fading careers.

Ken Burns. Expect hours of slavery and the hypocrisy of the founding fathers penning words about independence and freedom while slavery was legal.
The Revolution will be presented as a bad thing, spawning the worst nation ever, full of racism, homophobia, sexism and patriarchy. Expect much 1619 project BS.

More revisionist history designed to tear America down, promoting wokeism and racial division.
Hard PASS!

It really was our first Civil War. The noted Revolutionary Heel, David Fanning of NC, tried to burn my decedent’s house because my descendent was a Patriot.

Ken Burns goes click bait? Shameful !

I’m guessing this will be just as one sided a propaganda piece as his civil war documentary.

Honestly, based on the article, it sounds pretty damned interesting to me. I’ll watch it.

I have never appreciated anything about Ken Burns. He is a Leftist, and views everything through a Leftist prism.
