This response is biased, responder is hung up about Zinn's
political views rather than the facts. Thanks so much for having me waste my one item
per day on my membership. What happened, without regard for a 'point of view' is
extremely similar to the circumstances in the U.S. today. We have the 1% with the 99%,
revolting with 'occupations' against more than class differences, but the private
wealth, corporations, banks, wall street, and more running this country, knocking out
the middle class, an oligarchy is alive and well instead of our government. The
Constitution is being stomped on and atrocities are being committed against the people
and we are now in a crisis situation, much like that during the time preceding the
rebellion. The people here are already practicing civil disobedience en masse, while
their property and civil rights are being stolen, with the 'owned' government letting
this happen.
We don't need 'agitators' to stir up a wronged
people. The new 'right' wants to go back to the pre-Bacon Rebellion Days, right down to
the last detail, making women second class citizens, along with everyone else who isn't
a part of 'the elite'.
Would these parallels NOT have been
noted if Zinn was of another political ideology? Would the facts have differed? Shame
on this poster. THIS IS the kind of bias that is eating away at our republic,
destroying our democracy, and if something is not done soon, we will be again living in
puritanical times.
I was looking for a great summation of
that time in history as it parallels ours today... in how history really does repeat
itself, even though with all our technology today, this could be bringing death to the
planet and we need to turn it around. PEOPLE are the decision makers and the few elites
have taken our right to make decisions regarding THE PEOPLE, as something in the
past.
