America the Beautiful (inspired by Science...For Her)

The show America is in  it’s infancy compared to China or even England. But millions of people take in season after season to see the flag waving in the breeze triumphant over the British once, twice, the German, the Japanese. The show is not without controversy just as practices of the country are now considered barbaric. Slavery for instance ran rampant in the south where African Americans were put to work on plantations. The Civil War (Seasons 85-89) was one of the most watched conflicts in history until everybody got pulled into a giant World War and then again even though everybody swore it had been a one time thing. Then there were domestic instances- the industrial Revolution where children as young as 4-6 years old were desperate enough to work in unsafe environments, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, suffrage for women (history wasn’t kind to them either) and the Great Depression, where people frequented soup kitchens and lived on the streets. Yet every year the ratings go up. We must be doing something right.
