With all the events that happened recently such as charlotesville and all the protests and vandalism surrounding confederate statues, is it a good idea to watch this to get more insight on the confederacy? or is it Libby marxist shit?
>>138563328
yes, its great
t. /his/
It leans Liberal
But it was narrated and partly written by McCullough
David is a rosy, comfy Murrican who makes his money telling Americans they are heroes.
So it balances out
Most definitely a good place to start.

>Civil War
Lol
Nothing is non-biased. If you want to know the truth you have to read/watch/listen from different sources. It's like that koth episode where hank catches his son and joseph smoking. Dale gribble gives his son joseph the official governmental material about how smoking is bad and the studies done by the tobacco companies and let joseph make up his own mind.

I would love this but it's filled with degenerate ''''''''''philosophers''''''''''' mucking up everything.

>Ken Burns is a leftist lesbian.
It is a very good documentary. Groundbreaking in its time. Burns is a talented filmmaker. The series completely glazed over the Atlanta Campaign & March to the Sea. As an Atlanta native, I was less than impressed. Shelby Foote was the star of the series. His Trilogy is epic. Anyone with any interest in the war should own it.

Stephen Ambrose is a guest in almost all the episodes and he was non biased and one of the greatest historians of the last century

Its pretty damn good
Its worth the price of admission just for the opening monologue with Ashoken Farewell playing in the backround. I tear up everytime

Stephen Ambrose on Lewis & Clark was incredible. He died in 2002 at age 66. Way too soon.

>Ashoken Farewell
It's played 984 times during the series.

I remember using him as a source in my history papers in high school 10/10 always got a's cause of him

Of course you'd have to get many sources, but isnt The civil war by ken burns wholesome and well sourced?
I'll bet Kenny Burns is ashamed of this movie now.
The film treats Confederates as Normal humans instead of Monster-nazis. Ken's a super good goy, but the culture shifted so quick even he is looking like a fashist apologist.
>>138563328
Its not non-biased but the worst offender is this retarded black historian chick that goes on and on about slavery
The rest is good.
Especially Shelby Foote; I think he actually was in the civil war.

This leafe gets it.

a while back, after the dylan roof thing, he said this exact thing. Hes such a hardcore democrat shill that his treatment of FDR as the second coming of christ was annoying in The Roosevelts. I expect his vietnam series is going to suck tbhfam

>while back, after the dylan roof thing, he said this exact thing
What a fucking shame, you would think a guy that immersed himself this deeply in the civil war wouldn't be swayed by current hysteria.
How could you spend hundreds of hours if not thousands of hours studying the confederacy and not feel for their courage and hopes (even if you dont support them)

>Vietnam: A Television History
>Vietnam: The 10,000 Day War
Those are the ones you should watch
Ken Burns needs to die
I bet GM is ashamed they are tied to him now
I bet the MacArthurs are rolling in their graves.
It has Shelby Foote so watch it
Also go pick up Shelby Foote's complete history of the Civil War

It's rated R for racist content now.
