The American Revolution
Synopsis
The American Revolution was at once a war for independence, a war of conquest, a civil war, and a world war, fought by neighbors on American farms and between global powers an ocean or more away. It impacted millions from Vermont’s Green Mountains to the swamps of South Carolina, from Indian Country to the Iberian Peninsula. In defeating the British Empire and giving birth to a new nation, the American Revolution turned the world upside-down. Thirteen colonies on the Atlantic Coast united in rebellion, won their independence, and established a republic that still endures. The American Revolution will present the story of the men and women of the Revolutionary generation, their humanity in victory and defeat, and the crisis that they lived through.

From TMDB usersA lot of it is actually pretty good... and then you get to the 1619 Revisionist history BS. The Native Americans inspired American democracy not the Greeks who the Founding Father's cited multiple times. Then slavery slavery slavery, evil white people, the American Revolution was about colonizing America and not shaking off it's colonial rulers. By the time you're done with it, you realize that he wasn't making a documentary, he was using the American Revolution to push far left revisionist propaganda.
It's clear some are upset with facts presented clearly and concisely. Another smashing success from Mr. Burns.
