Not bad for a Readers Digest condensed type version of American History.

Leaving out some important moments like never mentioned the Battle of Bunker Hill ( actually fought on Breed's Hill in Boston)

And error during Civil War time period , First Battle of Bull Run or First Manassas as called by Southern forces. Implied that Robert E Lee's troops involved and were victorious. Lee wasn't in command nor was he even there on July 21st 1861.

PGT Beauregard was in charge of Confederate forces at Bull Run, along with support from Joseph E Johnston troops. Robert E Lee was detached to western Virginia at the time. He became commander of the army of Northern Virginia during the battle of Seven Pines June 1st 1862 when Joseph E Johnston was wounded taking the army over from him. Annoys me that the history channel would gloss over and avoid facts just to give a more hurried up more popular interpretation.... Do it right or don't do it at all!!! angry.gif
