I think you might want to actually watch it before you think that it's whitewashed. I'm not sure that they even need to whitewash events from the 1890's.
this is the problem with the history channel. it's not historically accurate. it's entertainment.

they didn't buy mckinley's presidency. in fact, this created such a huge backlash it catapulted grover cleveland into the potus. moreover, it ultimately led the u.s. government to bust the trusts, including jp morgan's.
