Synopsis

The primary source used in this episode can be found here. It is highly recommended you watch this before or after the cast (It's homework but seriously, the homework is watching TV, c'mon guys!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOBwVJQi6_Y Although it isn't very historically accurate you can use this to understand how 1950's America chose to frame the Revolutionary War, and why that is important to understand that as current American's. We also get into issues of slavery, and how this episode chose to portray it, and what that says about America in the late 50's. This one will make your brain happy!
