Ken Burns' New Doc: The American Revolution Was a Civil War, Not a Fight for Freedom
The new PBS documentary series "The American Revolution," co-directed by Ken Burns and Sarah Botstein, frames America's founding not as a unified fight for independence but as a brutal, contradictory conflict over power, land and freedom. The series challenges America's founding mythology, highlighting the roles of slavery and violence against Indigenous peoples. It revisits deep, unresolved wounds in US history.
