I'm very leery of anything from the History Channel. They have a habit of telling the history that never was. Actually you are quite WRONG on that score. An example is the series The History of the Gun. Very informative and it doesn't take an anti-gun stand. They have this real fat guy who comments about guns and artillery pieces a lot who seems to know EVERYTHING about guns. I find the History channel overall to be quite fair in its presentations. Perhaps you should watch the History Channel again.
Maybe I will. Maybe I'm getting them confused with "American Heritage."
History of the Gun is OK, but the HC overall is full of commie malarkey. Their "civil war" programming is all of the Ken Burns/Red Jamie McPherson school of historical fantasy. In this latest series, Founding Briothers, their version of who wanted the slave trade left alone failed utterly to mention the slave traders themselves in Rhode Island, New York and other eastern states. The triangle trade hinged upon the trading of rum to slave brokers in Africa, importation of slaves to the western hemisphere and the produce of slave labor and no Southern states had a hand in that trade. THC paints it as solely Southern protestation of the abolishment of the importation of slaves that kept the representatives of the northern states from abolishing slavery as part of the Constitution. They also made the preposterous claim that the people of the northern states wanted their representatives to make abolishment of slavery an issue in writing the new Constitution. That is absolute hassayampa.
Face it, THC is run by the same outfit that produces A&E and the Biography Channel, and communist dogma and propaganda dominate their programming. We all need to watch less TV, even those of us who spend an hour per year in front of the set.
