Reaction to the Ken Burns Debate | The Civil War Episode Two Review


Listen Later

When we asked our audience for their opinions on Ken Burns, we had no idea the passionate debate we would ignite. Some called Ken Burns a proponent of the Lost Cause. Others claimed Ken Burns has an agenda akin to the 1619 Project. Clearly, there was a lot of disagreement. The impact of his work was never in dispute, and many listeners were major fans even if they had detractions, but the conversation itself was entirely fascinating. 

We decided to break down the discussion of these passionate history buffs before delving into the second episode of the series, which covers military innovations, the Battle of Shiloh, and the inner politics of the Union.


Like you, we are fans of history; we are Logan Ledman and Sam Temple. Over our six years of teaching classes, putting on plays, and creating our own documentaries, we have come to appreciate history for all of the fascinating debates and digressions it inspires. On this podcast, we discuss the second episode of The Civil War: A Film by Ken Burns.

Watch along with us as we go through the series. All episodes are available for free here: www.archive.org/details/ken.-burns.-the.-civil.-war.
