It was on around here last night. I didn't watch but hope to catch it later.
On a related note I saw ads for a couple of series/shows on the History Channel that might, repeat might, deal with actual history for a change!
Regards,
Dennis

I'd like to hear some opinions on this, if you have one. If true, it does not really surprise me, as it may have been acceptable during that time. I know it does not make it right.

I, too, thought it was great.
Touched on women's rights as well.

Well part two was on last night and was pretty good in my opinion. It talked about the years between the late 1830's to the early 1850's.
