"From a small spark kindled in America, a flame has arisen, not to be extinguished. Without consuming, it winds its progress from nation to nation, and conquers by silent operation. Man finds himself changed, and discovers that the strength and powers of despotism consist wholly in the fear of resisting it. And that in order to be free, it is sufficient that he wills it." #ThomasPaine

I've been listening to the American Revolution series of the fantastic history podcast Revolutions lately as well as acquiring the newish Ken Burns documentary series on the Revolution. A little inspiration that things can actually change for the better in America.

While I'm nattering on about TV ... watch Ken Burns' "The American Revolution." If you're a USian, just watch it. Well worth your time. The series pulls no punches, you'll likely come away with a deeper understanding of unresolved issues, and the last few minutes: that Hamilton quote, and the final words of the series.

The #KenBurns #AmericanRevolution documentary is surprisingly good. Diverse, critical perspectives. Hits the highs and the lows of the revolution, tackles complicated topics from personal perspectives. Recommended.

Finishing Ken Burns’ The American Revolution
We completed watching Ken Burn’s excellent The American Revolution this week. Thank goodness for streaming, allowing us to view it on our schedule. Two spoiler alerts. First, we won the war. Second, we’re still struggling with many of the differences that made the formation (and perhaps the continuation) of what would become the Untied States such a close thing.
The series is excellent and I highly recommend it. Burns and his team do their expected thorough job of researching and producing the documentary. We’re lucky there were so many letters written by those beneath the status of the cast of characters most of us could identify at a glance, because that material provides much of the content and texture inside the frame.
The production does it’s job so well that my hunch is some will come away learning things they never knew about a period of our history we’ve wrapped in so many myths it would keep troops at Valley Forge warm. I would also guess that in today’s political and social climate there will be far too many who tune out or don’t tune in because they prefer the comfort of the mythology.
Which is a damned shame. As I said in an earlier post about the series:
I’m not hearing things differently, but I’m hearing how folks can take their own meaning out of many of the things written and said during that period that led to this country’s founding. History may indeed rhyme, but it also echoes. Often in strange ways.
If you have followed any of Burns’ work you know his approach to American history is to tell the parts of stories we leave out of the picture. I grew up in a part of the country where you could turn your head left or right, spit, and hit the history of the American Revolution or the Civil War. I count myself lucky that my 10th grade history teacher kept reminding us that there was so much more to discover about our past than he had the time to teach us, planting a seed of curiosity that continues to grow inside of me to this day decades later.
Ken Burns and his team continue to keep that curiosity growing. We should all be grateful and unafraid that they do so.
You can also find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above.
