Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review T T Absolutely stunning part of history and the series did a fantastic job bringing it to life. All Americans should see both this and the Lincoln mini-series. History rhymes if not repeats! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Jaime O I really enjoyed this.
