The more and more i learn it sounds like this doc was a great injustice to the Cobb's legacy.

This is the overriding theme with most Ken Burns' docs.

He hates the South and he hss never been afraid to let it be known. He pushes the white guilt thing irl every time he gets a chance and hell, even when he was recently on Finebaum promoting one of his latest works he took the opportunity to take a shot at the South and blammed Trump on us ... which I took as a compliment.

Burns is an OT, not OG mind you, but OT as in Original Transitionor or Original Transvestite. Incredibly talented but unbelievably and incredibly well funded mostly by tax payers.

Given that fact I have always said he could have done better. After Civil War all of his docs have had political overtones strongly in favor of his openly socialist and communist beliefs.
