Watched the entirety of Ken Burn's "Civil War" series. Really eye opening and kind of helps understand the American culture in some respects. The whole "we are Christians, but we gotta kill you for trying to take away our slaves".
Seeing some of the civil war veterans later on when film was finally invented was cool, and just imagining that some veterans lived until the 1950s. Incredible that there were still people alive then that had been around to see Lincoln and give accounts.
I am also taking back a comment about he poor comedy specials being put up on Netflix. Just watched the first 3 episodes of "The Stand ups" and they are actually really funny.
