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.

This was the perfect parody of every Ken Burns Documentary
I liked his country music series.
Ken Burns, coal burner. Going to prism to "sample the goods" is on his bucket list...
Ive visited most of the major revolutionary war sites in the northern theater. Picking up Freeman’s Farm next year.
Admittedly I ended up scanning much of this ponderous article. I’m not seeing any indication that there’s anything really new. Anyone who doesn’t realize that in the south the war was a bloody civil war with many atrocities we would would call war crimes, and the egregious suffering of the troops at Trenton, Valley Forge, in prison ships and other locations , etc, doesn’t really know anything about the war. Per your comment, I expect endless rehashing of slavery

We will learn that Washington’s accurate name was “OG” Washington and Jefferson’s was “DJ” Jefferson.
and Betsy Ross was a Black woman.
And a deep hatred for the founding Fathers
My wife brought me home a video from the local library, a PBS NOVA video on “Weapons of The Revolutionary War”.
So I watched it. It was mildly interesting, nothing I didn’t know, and then at some point into it they pivoted onto slavery.
People like Ken Burns cannot help themselves.
