About this episode
David and Loremaster Bryan8063 continue their special coverage of the PBS Ken Burns miniseries The American Revolution with immediate reactions to the fifth episode. The discussion highlights Burns' ability to tell previously marginalized stories of women, Black Americans (both enslaved and freed), and Native Americans, connecting scholarship that may have existed in silos. The hosts explore the British pivot to a Southern strategy aimed at retaining the more economically valuable colonies, the staggering complexity of the North American theater stretching from Montreal to Florida, and the global ripple effects of the conflict. They reflect on missing elements like the Articles of Confederation debates and state-level constitutional work, suggesting the series might have benefited from additional episodes to capture these parallel developments.
