Greg, as a history scholar I can imagine your frustration with a production like this but for the average Joe it is a good starting point to give them a quick glance at our history. What did you think of HBO's John Adams series? I was blown away by the production on that and felt like I was back in time and the details were unreal. This new series was definately a rush job but to cover many years in a blink of an eye is a very big task and overall it's pretty good and entertaining. That is no excuse on getting major details incorrect but also shows that many are not aware of the facts. I have learned a lot and been reminded of many things I forgot, and it is a nice break from the Disney Channel !
