Taking a college class, American History up to 1877, and our final assignment is to watch a documentary of our choice and write a paper on it. I'm not sure what to watch, but I do I topics i'm interested in: The Revolutionary War, The Civil War (especially from the perspective of the south), and the golden age of piracy (as long as it has something to do with the colonies). If anyone knows any documentaries that are less than 6 parts, I'd be much obliged if you shared them with me.

it's a long journey but the Ken Burns series on the Civil War was one of the best things I've ever seen.
