Once again, they botch up our history by leaving out the French and Indian War. Wounder how much they will screw up the Civil war and Sioux War.
You can not possibly fit everything that happened into a series like this. Hell you still don't learn everything even with a PhD in American History. There is just way too much material to cover and somethings are bound to be left out.
The point of the show to give a generalization of how America came to be. The French and Indian war was crucial, but however you have to think of it from the point of view as a company, if the History Channel were to include every detail of history the series itself would last for years, if not decades. This would cost millions in production for just one show.
Unfortunately most Americans do not know too much about History, and the point of the entire channel is to create content for the
average American. If it created content for History Wiz's like us, then it would be like going back to school for a history lesson, it's sad to say but that does not bring in viewers.
In order for the History Channel to operate they need viewers, without them they are out of business.
