The War That Made American

It’s the 250 year anniversary of the French and Indian War (1754-1763), and PBS has a terrific series about it. It has realistic reenactments, primary source reports, and keen insight into the events of the time. George Washington is featured prominently and I’m stunned that I know so little about his pre-Revolution life.

Check out the website here.

Since I don’t have cable, PBS is a great resource for the kind of TV that I like. They have been rebroadcasting this series along with the equally excellent Liberty! The American Revolution.
