Extremely well done show. Also a great show for older children and teens. I hate to miss any episode about the Revolutionary or Civil Wars. When Stan Ellsworth talks about either of these, you get a SOLID background that gives you the REAL feeling of what was going on, how the people lived, what they sacrificed, a lot of real world details that put you right into their era. I love all the pictures, drawings, and illustrations shown from that era, as well as the video of how these places look today. Stan grips you with his fervor and energy. In learning many things not well known from the standard textbooks, you have a greater understanding about the issue of Freedom and Liberty. Today, we take for granted the invaluable gift we've been given from the enormous sacrifices of so many people. Watching this show helped me see the crippling effects of today's Federal Bureaucracy. Bureaucrats should not be dictating to Us and Congress. Who you vote into Congress DOES make a difference. This show portrays the many simple people who made a great difference, one man and one woman at a time.
