This was a really good, critical look at the messiness of a historical event. I think I was most upset that the Betsy Ross story wasn't talked about until the late 1800s and so may or may not be true 😂. She mentioned how people of color were a part of the struggle, but I wish she dedicated more time to this, since most ppl aren't even aware that native and African Americans were involved.
Minor: Violence
It's warm, so violence is a given, but it is certainly not dwelt upon.
