After debating on whether to comment on the History Channel’s new show, America The Story of Us, I must state that I cannot take any show seriously that has Puff Daddy (or whatever pseudonym he is currently using) explaining the Erie Canal and Irish-American labor. Furthermore, skipping the wars between the American Revolution and the Second World War makes me wonder what this television series is really about. Clearly if it was an worthwhile account of American history it would not be aired on the History Channel.
