 Great history presentation December 10, 2008
If you love the history as I do, you will love this Video. I love the history of the United States and this shows what great people that formed this nation. The people of the United States can be greatful for the wonderful people that founded the nation and it also shows how luck had a lot to do with the founding. The US is the greatest nation in the world and from the video, you can see how unique it was founded.
Excellent Work December 2, 2008
This was a great series that kept you on the edge of your seat after each episode. I really enjoyed how each episode built up to the next. This series is a must see for all historians and/or American's. It's a great reminder of how we should appreciate what our forefathers have done for us.
Excellent!!! November 26, 2008
As an American History teacher, I found this series highly interesting, well made and concise but with enough details to keep one engrossed. I am using it to supplement my teaching by showing it in parts to the students and then having discussions on what they saw. I totally recommend it to anyone interested in the myriad and gifted characters that played at part in our Country's road toward Independence.
Excellent November 17, 2008
I was blown away by the edutainment-per-dollar value of this DVD set. I mean, c'mon, it was like $2 per disc! While all of the minor criticisms in other customer reviews are true (mediocre DVD quality; repetitive use of footage, etc.) these seem to me very minor quibbles. What we've got here is the finest general introduction to the Revolution available, with lots of backstory and examination of what led up to the revolution; battlefield maps and reenactments; excellent coverage of the politics and personalities and events; etc. etc. It is comprehensive and interesting, fast-paced and well-detailed, easy to watch and educational. I would've liked to see some more coverage of the British perspective on the war, but there are several good books on that topic (such as "Redcoats and Rebels", or by going straight to the source with books such as Peter Oliver's "Origin and Progress of the American Rebellion"). As an overview of the Revolution and to get a feel for what the whole era was about, this DVD set cannot be beat.
A wonderful supplement for Colonial history/literature classes October 13, 2008

"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; 'tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated."
Thomas Paine's words are as essential today as they were more than two hundred years ago and this series is well worth your time if you have any interest in the American Revolution. Ken Burns' legacy as the father of modern documentary is felt throughout the 13 hours that comprise this splendid series by the History Channel; the combination of historical commentary, dramatic recreation, and maps detailing troop movements gives the viewer a supreb overview of the period driven by the revolutionary spirit of Rousseau, Locke, and Jefferson.
If there is any shortcoming to this series it is the fact that 13 hours is simply too little. I guess I'm never satisfied, but there's more to any story than meets the camera's eye...
