To what extent do these episodes of Liberty! represent the ideals, objectives, and perspectives of ordinary Americans (non-elite white men, women, free Blacks, slaves, Indians)?

QUESTION: To what extent do these episodes of Liberty! represent the ideals, objectives, and perspectives of ordinary Americans (non-elite white men, women, free Blacks, slaves, Indians)? Or is Liberty! still “great white man history” with a few ordinary voices added to a narrative that remains centered almost entirely on the ideals, objectives, perspectives of the founding elite?
