Since I'm operating out of the library right now, I can't watch it in one lump; but I will get to it.

My personal background: I recently (three years ago) discovered the wonder of good biographies and original writing. I read a great bio of Benjamin Franklin, then went through seven different books on Jefferson, one of them six volumes and thirty-five hundred pages, finishing with McCullough's book on John Adams.

I've just finished reading the collected writings of Thomas Paine. If you haven't read Common Sense and The American Crisis, you can't truly understand the feelings that led to our 'Separation'.

I'm looking forward to this.
