Seen it many times he is an excellent documentary maker. The first episode about the causes of the Civil War still resonate today. It's too simplistic to say its about slavery.

History is written by the victors so the narrative is that the war is about slavery. If the south had won the narrative would have been States rights versus the Federal government. An argument still going on today.

Watched it first class.
 
Excellent but cant recall if it debunks the thinking that Lincoln was the great emancipator of the slaves.

His principle objection was the economic advantage gained by slavery and consequent market distortion.
