King Brown, I am in total agreement that those from the past are more principled than most of the current batch. The question should be did those actions warts and all improve or detract this Republic. I gather from your comments about Dr. DiLorenzo that unless your are matriculated in that particular speciality you are deficient to critique another work. If that comparison is valid then Ken Burns should be careful creating historical flicks. I am sure he is completely neutral. Oh, is he a certified history major?
Best wishes
