Highly recommend all true patriots watch Ken Burns American Revolution documentary

[milfandcookies]

My ancestors were in Italy at the time so I never really cared much about the American revolution

Joe when he finds out colonists killed native americans

It was the “profoundly” part. Maybe you missed it. I suspect he rebounded rather quickly. You should go back to tying the patriotism of others to a Ken Burns documentary. 
 

Yes, he got over the profound sadness. Whew!

Joe hasn't posted here in many hours, and last we knew, he had an air of sadness around him that can only be described as profound.  I'm concerned, not profoundly, but probably in the "moderately" category.  I guess I would say that I'm moderately concerned that Fergie was profoundly sad and is now ostensibly absent.  

 

Prayers all around to everyone, even the ***** and the people who so-label them.

The thing that makes it such a shame is that it’s the first time he’s ever been profound in any way. Dammit all!!

Disagree.

 

Profoundly inept at scientific chart interpretation.

Listen to the American revolution podcast.  It's way more detailed and doesn't have any agendas.  Even though the burns one was good for high schoolers.  

 

I would also state that the hard leftist out there maybe, just maybe try grey history for the French revolution .  

 

 

There are two aides to that argument.  Same with Britain paying brant and his army of Canadian natives that purposely attacked the homes, wives and children of the colonial militia.  And brutally.  

 

 

What agenda exactly is in it? Like actual examples…I am watching so you must be too…to offer such a comment …

I don’t get it either. The one repeated complaint of the cynics seems to be Burns reference to the Iroquois confederacy being an influence to the founding fathers. I guess they think that’s woke so it can’t be said. Upstream on this thread I posted the senate hearing with testimony supporting Burns position on this point. Regardless, this is a 5 second part of a 12 hour series so to dismiss the entire series due to this point is stupid.

So I take it Ben Franklin knew about the Iroquois confederacy. So when we drafted the Articles of Confederation it probably was at least a tiny bit influenced by it. That’s all.

Their relationship was more than just “knowing about” the Iroquois. According to the testimony, Iroquois chiefs were in Philadelphia and communicating with the Founding Fathers during the Revolution. Leaders of the Revolution were also moved to form closer ties with the Iroquois leaders to curry their favor and forge strategic alliances during these uncertain years.
