Quote:If the only people you ever believe about anything are people who agree with you politically, then all you will ever do is reinforce your own opinion.   It's the ultimate way to be closed-minded.   You will never change your mind about anything, and you will never learn anything, except maybe more talking points to defend your political position. 

 

So you're trying to pretend that a guy who talked at length about the Union prisoners in  Andersonville, GA but didn't mention at all the Confederate prisoners Elmira, N.Y. wasn't biased? How about no mention of the Corwin Amendment? Doesn't even bother to mention the freed black slaves living in the CSA during the war?

 

Ken Burns is far from an objective review of the Civil War, he focused on specific letters and events to the picture he wanted to display. It was well done, I've seen the documentary, it's been a while but there was plenty he left out that didn't coincide with the picture he was painting.

 

I find it hilarious you're going to lecture me on being closed minded when you've bought the white washed version of the entire even hook line and sinker.
