Native Land and the American Revolution on the Frontier by Ken Burns

Recommendable with reservations! As usual the ideological Noble Savage view oozes throughout this video.

History has rarely been kind to loosers anywhere in the world!

The Native Americans were stupid to brutally attack the settlers given their inferior weapons and thereby giving the Americans an excuse to punish them! Their alliance with the British was also not very smart!

North America was large enough for Native Americans and Americans to live side by side.

Irrespective, the American Natives suffered horrible violence, massacres and so on in following decades, century. Don't get me wrong, I have great respect for the Native Americans.

Ken Burns's The Roosevelts Is 14 Hours Long

Posted: 9/27/2014

Trigger

I have not finished watching the entire series of 7 episodes of Ken Burns’s “The Roosevelts - An Intimate History”, each one about 2 hours long. I just managed the first two parts so far.

As happens too often, PBS is expiring the episodes so fast within a few days of airing that it is hard to see all episodes before they expire.

Too Much!

I think, Ken Burns went way overboard with this documentary! Seven episodes for two presidents and a wife, which are a total of 14 hours of video.

Mr. Burn must have received too much money to produce such a documentary.

About Theodore Roosevelt

I think, Mr. Burns has glorified too much one of the worst U.S. presidents besides his cousin of the 20th century. There is barely any criticism about this president in his documentary. He is one of the first major U.S. presidents to push for big, centralized government in the U.S. Many of his measures have been controversial and certainly unconstitutional.

Unfortunately, I do not have the time to write a blog post about this man, but I plan to do so and it will not be so favorable.
