He portrays the whole revolution was about freedom to settle land that belonged to the Indians.
What is missed on the modern person is that the majority of these lands were not Indian land, it was empty. There was a wave of two of disease that swept through the Americas about 10 years before the Pilgrims hit the shores. Specifically, the Wapanonc people wanted a treaty with Pilgrims for production from larger native tribes. This portrayal of the "colonizer" is right out of the Marxist playbook.

Watched the first episode, total woke bullshite, attempting to rewrite our understanding of history.
The natives had a functioning democracy that worked so great that Ben Franklin completely copied for the US.
All slaves were abducted from Africa, never says who was doing the abduction so you infer it was the white folks rounding up people not the African Kings.
George Washington was a racist because he made a black kid do chores.

Well, the Haudenosaunee, known as the Iroquois Confederacy, a confederacy of six Native American nations in the northeastern U.S. and Canada, did influence our early founders w/ it's three branches,
This is not widely accepted. Yeah Franklin mentions them but says this would never work with colonies. Congress adopted a "resolution" in I think '88 or '89 that it "influenced" the constitution but yeah so did every form of government in history prior.

How can land belong to you if you never settle on a piece of it?

You might as well be watching the Che Guevara documentary on the American Revolution.
