John Adams did this john Adams did that. First part: John Adams going across the river on a pontoon and oh boy survives. Nothing about the pontoon layers and how many died, for me especially my namesake and kin Capt. Wm Freeburn who was shot in the head leading the pontoon layers, who also were killed by the score! Oh no, they are immaterial, but not JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ADAms. Take your show and place it where the moon don't shine!!!!!!!!!!! Signed the great grandson of a very unimportant person, you know someone who DIED for his country!!!!

Fredericksburg, Fredericksburg, Federicksburg. That's how it is spelled. hint, hint.
The highlight of the episode for me was the attack by both Union and Confederate forces on the modern lamppost in the center of the log cabin town in the woods that was supposed to be Fredericksburg. The storming of the town over the covered bridge was especially inspiring and a new twist on history that I was previously unaware of. If only Burnside had known about it, he would not have needed those pesky late-arriving pontoon bridges! The voice over of the historian talking about fighting house to house, street by street as the soldiers walked through the woods was absolutely ridiculous! It was fun to watch for comic relief, but I am sure that is not what was intended. It does a disservice to the soldiers who actually fought at Fredericksburg.
