Our founding fathers were greedy rich Euros who incited a war with Britain. They lied and slandered each other in their lust for power and fame. They swooped in on unsuspecting rich widows to steal their fortune. Blah, blah, blah. Amazing that the revisionist academic nut cases of the 20th century who provide the commentary "insight" know what the founders were REALLY thinking when they were writing something completely to the contrary; the History Channel doesn't have much good to say about the founders of the greatest nation in history. No mention of the founder's faith that sustained them or of the providential hand of the creator who endowed mankind with certain inalienable rights. Throw away the first two DVDs (Founding Fathers), their just academic revisionist drivel. The next set of DVDs is better - the Founding Brothers. History channel does a better job of getting off their political statement soapbox to deliver some interesting history with some neutrality. The jury is still out on the other DVDs...........Read full review
When it comes to history I rather enjoy the Revolutionary war because it wasn't those people we would not have freedom today and enjoy this great country of ours. I recommend this series even to non-history buffs. I am a historian, retired from the Army, a graduate from Almar College, Almar New York and I love history. But I place my concentration on the Revolutionary war therefore, I try to get more information than is needed, this DVD set reinforces all the other material that I have gathered so far. This DVD set not only has documentaries which show real people doing what they were doing at that time. It also has a couple movies; the crossing, and a movie about Benedict Arnold. Therefore, I recommend this DVD set is five stars. Is this reveiw not good enough. Thyere is not going to be a rivised review.Read full review
If you are interested in the Revolutionary war time period, you will love this collection. It is actually made up of a number of smaller collections. This collection covers them all. Much better deal than buying each of the smaller collections separately.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This series of DVDS is very informative , it's almost like taking a History course , when you finish the complete set. The format was well produced and very easy to comprehend and entertaining.
