We make every attempt to be as accurate as possible in our storytelling by consulting multiple sources when possible and utilizing historically accurate images and videos. Because versions of events can change depending on the source, or because of the perspectives of those relating those events, or because we simply make a mistake, sometimes not all the facts are indeed, the facts. We also attempt when possible to use media in the form of images and videos that help to tell the story as accurately as possible. That can be challenging as there is oftentimes no media of a particular event. If you find that we are in error, please let us know in the comments and we will post the corrections here. Thank you for your understanding and for watching.
