Ken Burns thinks we may be looking at 4th historic crisis in the post-Trump era, rising to the level of the Civil War, the Depression, and World War II.
“It’s really serious,” replied the documentarian. “There are three great crises before this: the Civil War, the Depression and World War II. This is equal to it.”
Burns then quoted a young Lincoln to explain his thinking about America destroying itself, referencing an 1838 talk in which the future president said “some trans-Atlantic military giant” would not be to blame, but instead “ourselves.”
“We’re looking right down the muzzle of that gun,” added Burn
