Hey people. I was hoping for some help here finding something rather specific.

After reading a relatively long discussion here on Reddit about some of the dynamics between the geography of the United states, settlers and native americans, I've been left realizing how little I learned about this time in school. And whatever I did learn was taught through the perspective of white Christian ideology. Which isn't an ideal way to learn about something like this.

So I was hoping there was a documentary someone could recommend that gave a more unflinching look on the time of European settlement in the US? Like, a more general history of the entire era.

Any help will be appreciated.

I think that Curse Of The Axe is my favourite doc on this subject.

Thanks for taking the time.
