Just wrapped on a week of Ken Burns’ #AmericanRevolutionPBS. Learned a lot. The Battle of Long Island was the biggest “I don’t recall learning this in school” moment. Thanks to all the actors, historians, and musicians who helped bring this documentary to life!

And the last shot of Ken Burns' American Revolution is fireworks over...The Brooklyn Bridge! I see what you did there, Ken.

James Forten, featured in #AmericanRevolutionPBS, served in the Revolutionary War and became a businessman and abolitionist in Philadelphia. The Forten family Bible, donated to the Museum by his sixth-generation descendants, lists family births, marriages, and deaths since 1839.

If Ken Burns wanted to, he could mention that a young boy from the Carolinas and his brother were in a British POW camp late in the Revolutionary War. Robert Jackson died in camp, but his brother Andrew lived. And later became President of the USA.

"Any time while I was a slave, if one minute's freedom had been offered to me, and I had been told I must die at the end of that minute, I would have taken it — just to stand one minute on God's earth a free woman — I would." – Elizabeth Freeman, 1781

Banastre Tarleton is one of the most awful characters in the whole war.

I've been disappointed with how few people are tweeting along with the Ken Burns American Revolution documentary, compared to his other recent works.

But I'm going to keep doing it tonight, to close out the series.

To counter British naval might, Americans relied heavily on the old tradition of privateering, like John Greenwood and James Forten featured in #AmericanRevolutionPBS.

The American Revolution is full of military heroes. But John Paul Jones is the most like an action hero.
