One would hope.
Pluto TV would be an excellent place. All kinds of vintage stuff runs there.
Actually Americans built America.
Not just a few really rich folks. The title of the series is wrong and insulting.
Remember when Grand Caliph Baraq said “you didn’t build that”
That’s apples and oranges.
Do you think they would have built their vast fortunes if the Founding Fathers wouldn’t have setup the most stable country in the world first?
Do you think they would have kept it if American’s from all walks of life didn’t defend it against all the “isms” of the world?
If it is the same as one I saw some time ago it was very anti capitalism.
They are mostly on youtube. I found the In search of history series from the 90’s on youtube and remembered watching it when I was a kid .
If you liked Simcha Jacobovci, you like him and James Cameron who teamed up to examine the archeological evidence of the Biblical Exodus:

I’ve watched it. Loved it.
I also watched the series about the builders of the giant food companies, The Food That Built America I think it was. Very informative.
From CW Post, Clarence Birdseye, the Kellogg brothers, Milton Hershey, Marjorie Post, HJ Heinz and others on up to Harlan Sanders and Ray Kroc.
I have TMTBA: The Frontiersmen recorded to watch.
Should be fun.
I think you are right. The 12 hour shift remained standard until after the 1919 steel trike collapsed. In 1920 the giant steel companies (US Steel, Bethlehem) instituted the eight hour shift and the 24/7 operational mode. Wages remained stationary so de fact significant wage hike was put in place. “Little Steel’ followed soon after. This was also the start of the complex staggered shift and while unions other than company ones were banned workers could bid on the shift/days they wanted with seniority deciding who got what. These changes were due to a big steel management study, or a series of studies, to position the industry to be flexible and agile to meet coming demand changes for specialty steels.
