Joe Ferguson forever Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago 19 minutes ago, Chaos said: Ken Burns is a good cinematographer. He is a bad historian. What historical characterizations are you referring to? As for cinematography, most of his series are still photos or maps and such. They aren’t action films.
BillsFanNC Posted 57 minutes ago Posted 57 minutes ago Teef, The word is tag. Tag. I can't tag anyone because Simon. I can quote away. I just can't see anything you post UNLESS someone quotes you. Maybe ask Simon to improve the ignore feature such that it includes quoted content and then I'll never see anything at all that you or the rest of your merry band of leftist morons posts. Finding has trouble grasping this concept as well.
Andy1 Posted 53 minutes ago Posted 53 minutes ago I’m a few hours into this series. Seems well done and gives a much greater understanding of the events of the time. It’s interesting how the events impacted both the Native Americans and African slaves. About 5000 free slaves fought with the continental army. In Virginia, many slaves ran away to British boats as they were given the promise of freedom by the Brits. The British used the men for an Ethiopian regiment. The Declaration of Independence was embraced by those who weren’t truly free as they hoped for a better future. Hard to see how any of this is objectionable to anyone.
The Frankish Reich Posted 46 minutes ago Posted 46 minutes ago I've watched Ep 1. It was good. I learned some things, took a moment to rethink some things. Well worth watching the whole thing. Disagreement? Let's let some scholars raise some points, and then we'll argue about them like grown adults.
