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.

I enjoyed watching #TheAmericanRevolution, the five part #television series by Ken Burns. It reminded me that Ben Franklin, who was a huge help to winning this war by convincing France to come to our aid, was also known for writing #PoorRichardsAlmanac. Why would he call it that? He chose this name to sell more copies of it, implying that even if you are poor, you can afford to buy it, and that it is so important that it is worth buying even if you are poor.

Ken Burns is undeniably a great documentarian.
But #TheAmericanRevolution on #PBS at six two-hour episodes and not a CGI dinosaur anywhere to be seen has been a bit of a slog.

Baseball star Pete Rose got into trouble for betting on a baseball game. A similar bet was made hundreds of years earlier when British Gen. John Burgoyne bet that he would defeat the Americans and end our Revolution by the end of 1777. He lost that bet. I learned this from watching the interesting television miniseries #TheAmericanRevolution by Ken Burns.

The series is complete. As a nation the question remains open.

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.

I am totally geeking out over The American Revolution docuseries on PBS. A couple of thoughts:
I'm such a nerd that I actually recognize some of the writers and historians being interviewed such as Rick Atkinson, Stacy Schiff, and Nathaniel Philbrick.
Describing the voice talent as "A-List" is an understatement. Is Ken Burns the most connected man in Hollywood? Eat your heart out, Kevin Bacon! (notably absent)

Watching Ken Burns’ The American Revolution
Started watching Ken Burns’ The American Revolution last night. It sounds almost trite, but it’s typical Ken Burns (and his collaborators) historical documentary excellence.
What struck me is how I’m hearing things I’ve read and heard over and over again about the period leading up to the American Revolution. So far, (only two episodes in) the history is as I studied it. And by studying it, I mean well below the surface of the myths folks of my generation were taught in school.
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.
That’s certainly true if all you hang your tri-cornered hat on are the myths.

At the start of television shows on PBS, they thank the people and organizations that paid for these shows. So when I began to watch the new miniseries from Ken Burns, #TheAmericanRevolution, I heard the words "Major funding for the American Revolution is from" and they named some corporations and foundations, but they should have said:
"Major funding for the American Revolution* is from France."
Thank you, France!
*The event, not the television show. #history -
Catching the repeat of the first episode on PBS and it’s kicking ass already.
