In his Thanksgiving podcast, posted today [of course! Ed.], our old friend Victor Davis Hanson points out the underlying fallacy in Ken Burns "The American Revolution", which aired on PBS last week.
Ed. didn't have time to edit out discussions on other topics, so I suggest you fast forward to 29:44, where Mr Hanson picks up on my initial reaction to the revisionist history, as written in "'The American Revolution' - Ken Burns' new, woke version" (WWW 18/11/25).
I agree with Mr Hanson (and his interlocutor Jack Fowler) that Mr Burns' The Civil War was a work of genius. Everything since then has been filtered through the lens of progressivism and DEI, so if you watch The American Revolution (I finally did watch the whole thing), take it cum magno grano salis.
The rest of the Mr Hanson's podcast is well worth watching too. Happy Thanksgiving!
