Review: This is the most in-depth look at American history that I have ever seen.  I will be honest, usually I'm quite bored with American history, but this new History Channel series took a fantastic view into our past and showed me remarkable and interesting anecdotes from the formation and journey of this country.

 This series covers so many things, from pivotal wars and conflicts that shaped the nation to developments like oil, automobiles and mass transit!    I cannot speak well enough of this show.  If you homeschool, this would be an ideal series for you to show your kids.  If you're an educator, I would HIGHLY recommend getting this into your classroom!  Its also great for the casual and serious history buff.

The special features on the blu-ray include: Additional scenes on the American Revolution, Declaration of Independence, George Washington, Civil War, Transcontinental Railroad, the Statue of Liberty, Henry Ford and the Model T, DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1
