PC. It refers to white or Caucasians as Anglo-Americans. I am white but, I am a Celt not English. Too many hyphenated Americans. Many mispronounced place names. It did get it right that secession was about slavery.

An American Civil War story performed by a Brit who mispronounces classic American history. Lacked substance as well.

What a miss!
