Movie Reviews of Liberty's Kids, Est. 1776 (6 DVD Set)
Movie Review: Excellent-Accurate facts
Summary: 5 Stars
This series is one of the few programs PBS hasn't preformed a historical revision on. I have been amazed by Liberty's Kids historical accuracy as well as its ability to mesmerize my 5th grade public school students year after year. They clamor for more when the series is done, and disappointed when they find out that there are no more episodes. Students have stated that "this is really cool", and shouts of "I love history!", have resounded in my classroom. I always show the series preceded by Walt Disney's Excellent DVD, Johnny Tremain and the Sons of Liberty (completed when Walt Disney had control of content and went to great expense to research the history of the theme for accuracy BEFORE he created a historical movie like this one, an unashamed plug for Johnny Tremain). Johnny Tremain.
Liberty's Kids does a good job of demonstrating the conflicting feelings colonists had deciding whether to remain loyal to Britain or the new Patriotic movement, and how 2/3 of the continental population finally decided to choose LIBERTY, Freedom, and the American Way. The episode of The Boston Tea Party helps citizens understand the past as well as the current climate permeating our country. Well Done!
