America The Story of Us COMPLETE DVDRip XviD-FFNDVD
With 12 chapters spread out over three discs and a total running time of more than nine hours (not including bonus material), the History Channel’s America: The Story of Us is a sprawling primer on the history of the country and its people. Starting about 100 years after Columbus with the arrival of the earliest white settlers from across the Atlantic and finishing in the present day, the series can boast episodes devoted to major conflicts like the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II; the more gradual but still significant developments that helped shape the nation (like western expansion and the mass migration to major cities); and the various elements and forces (the discovery of oil; the growth of industry, engineering, and infrastructure; the development of the automobile and other means of mass transportation, and, of course, the accumulation of vast economic and military might) that combined to make the United States the world’s dominant superpower in the 20th century and beyond. To the filmmakers’ credit, the darker aspects of this history–slavery and racial strife, the treatment of Native Americans, the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII–are not given short shrift. And while much of the material is dealt with in fairly broad strokes, there are also various enlightening details in each chapter. Who knew that George Washington established a network of spies who wrote notes in invisible ink in order to deceive the British, or that the most valuable currency for those who first explored the West was beaver pelts?
