When adressing the acomplishments and actions of the south he seemed to glorify and exagerate their importance, wether it was with quotes he used or his own personal input. For example, when describing John Brown's Raid he incorporates quotes from die hard abolitionists, like Fredrick Douglas, that seem to uphold him as a saint. They say he was properly martryd for the cause. No sympathy whatsoever is shown for the South, he makes them seem sadistic and evil. Ken Burns also seems to hold an abolitionist's point of view, he looks at slavery as a moral issue and not in terms of the economy and way of life of the Southern peoples. This bias interferes with many of his opinions and the way he looks at a conflict, he often sides with the North.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
