(6) At the end I felt so profoundly sad about where we are now, what the current regime has accomplished. How fundamentally is it broken? How much of what has been our best is now past? Only time and the dedication of the people (dare I say patriots?) will tell. No Kings. Or dictators.(5/5)

(4) A successful revolution in terms of winning the peace treaty is far from the same thing as the terms of settling down to being a governed nation. Pretty amazing it worked as well as it did. And (5) It reinforced for me the room they created for generation to attempt a MORE perfect Union. (4/5)

(2) With such large diffs across colonies (this doc barely touched on what those were) it is amazing how they began to coordinate, give mutual aid, eventually knit together as a country. But of course that was never complete; ID as part of a nation rather than federation was/is very uneven. (2/5)

He’s terrible enough as it is. If we were really at war it would be terrifying to have him where he is. Poor guy thinks he has to prove our « manliness » which he defines in appalling terms.
