I vaguely remember watching a drama miniseries when I was a kid which was about the history of the USA. I'm pretty sure this must have been around the time of America's bicentenial in 1977. I don't remember very much about it apart from the Civil War and I think it traced a family through the years. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Not Roots either, been watching that recently which is what reminded me of this other one. I also remember when it went to the adverts there was the image of a bald eagle, might have been a silver dollar.
