Anyone able to recommend any good programmes on the history of America please (DVD/Youtube/Streaming etc)?

I find Americas history fascinating and I'm interested in learning more about native Americans, early settlers, pilgrims, Columbus, Frontiers etc, basically anything up to say WW1 era.

So far I've enjoyed watching the Men That Built America series, and various programmes of the cowboy era and the Wild West etc. Just bought The Men That Built America : Frontiersmen, which looks good.

I always spend hours listening to The Rest Is History on YT. There are various episodes on US History but each episode is an epic in itself, so not a "US History Overview" by any means.
