5.0 out of 5 stars American Heritage Series, May 14, 2010

Why 5 stars?

First, my exposure to American History has been based on opinions from the so-called experts throughout my entire life. During my highschool and college years, the Constitution, Bill of Rights,and even the Declaration of Independence was never taught. My American History from the public school system was so dismal that I until lately I couldn't even tell you who authored these documents. It is refreshing to be introduce to Founding Fathers using their own primary source words and documents.

Second,I enjoyed the casual conversation between David Barton and the hosts. If you can back up your statements with factual documents, I have the time to listen to you. I must concur that the advertisements between segments is a little too much, but I just fast forward through them.

Third, I've seen many negative comments about David Barton from the academia world. These "so called" experts spent a vast amount of time trying to disprove David Barton's claim; but,they never backed up their own sources. Until you can back up your statements with primary documents from the founders, I must dismiss your statements. I especially enjoyed one "expert" who recommended the "Godless Constitution" as an alternative. However, when a book has NO footnotes to back up its claim, it becomes worthless in my eyes. I rather take one statement from a Founder's document than a book from an unknown professor who cannot take the time to justify his own resources.

If you're looking for a video series about the creation of our nation using primary source documents, this might be for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the education we should have had..., July 6, 2009

By 

Gretchen "Gretchen" (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The American Heritage Series (DVD)

David Barton has done his homework. How refreshing to learn the facts that are sadly omitted in today's public schools. All our kids should learn this to fully appreciate the heritage of this great county and what was in the hearts of our nations founders. Learn what you should have been taught and gain a new pride and love of our country and why these truths must be taught, lest we forget and become unrecognizable as America. If you have SkyAngel TV, you can watch these shows on The Golden Eagle Channel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Primary sources, original letters = truth, August 2, 2009

This amazing collection uses primary source documents, not a professor, or a politician or a journalist repeating what they have heard from another professor or politician or journalist but what our Founding Fathers and others actually wrote in their own hand. History sourced in this manner is reliably correct. Any other approach is no more than opinion.The American Heritage Series
