Who else here watched this recent ten-part series? I recorded it on my DVR and just recently finished watching it all.
As the title suggests, the series illustrated ten days in American history that were newsworthy in their own right, but had even greater unforseen (by most, anyway) consequences on American history, and in some cases on world history.
Listed in chronological order (as opposed to broadcast order):
How differently would America have evolved had any or all of these events ended differently or hadn't occured at all?
