“As we approach the 250th anniversary of American Independence, ‘Revolutionary America’ will help Americans to understand the purpose of the Revolution and the nature of the conflict,” said Jeremiah Regan, executive producer of Revolutionary America and executive director of Online Learning at Hillsdale College. “Our Founding, which was possible due to the wisdom, faith, and courage of our forefathers, is the most remarkable political achievement in history.”

[Thank You Rush]

Should be an excellent show with a great narrator..unless folks here don’t like Tom Selleck’s politics...I don’t even know what his politics are but I don’t care!

[Resolute Conservative]

He in the middle-ish. I never knew how he got along with Sam Elliot to make all those movies he is a big lib.

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

I don't know Tom Selleck’s politics either, but it's a sure bet he not a hard core leftist if he's associated with Hillsdale at all, and I don't have any problem with Democrats who love this country and it's history.

[Thank You Rush]

“” if he’s associated with Hillsdale””

Agree - A OK!!

Tom Selleck’s politics...I don’t even know what his politics are but I don’t care!

Selleck is conservative-leaning. He still has to get along with others in his profession.

[WhiteHatBobby0701]

Selleck is not a leftist. Remember this documentary is done with the Pat Sajak Center at Hillsdale.

He was sandbagged by rosie odonnell for his support of the NRA

I’ve been watching the history videos on our Founders and the making of our Republic featured on the White House YouTube Channel. They’re produced by Hillsdale College and the White House. Today’s video is about George Washington.
