PBS didn’t create the series. Ken Burns did. [/quote]

Case in point.  It’s an attempt to rewrite history.  There are in depth documents by the founding fathers, who’s writings were ignored. [/quote]

No, it’s an attempt to tell the history more honestly than before, telling it as it was, relying in large part on the written words of the founding fathers and those who fought the war and lived the war, including women, slaves, Natives, British, and other “forgotten” people.

I do realize, as an amateur historian with a college degree in the subject, that some people feel personally threatened when someone presents something other than the “Great (white) Man” theory of history they learned as young children, or they point out that the humans that founded our country had some pretty significant flaws as humans. But I find that intelligent people do appreciate a more balanced telling of what happened and can appreciate that people who are capable of greatness are also capable of abhorrent behavior by the standards of the day as well.
