We weren't trying to pick the 10 most important days. We challenged people to come up with days that weren't obvious and that caused significant change, whether long lasting or symbolic.
More Quotes from Susan Werbe:
Historians advised us not to select too recent events. They felt, and we agreed, that you need time to pass before you have the kind of historical perspective that we wanted to reflect in these hours.Susan Werbe
We're always looking for new, fresh ways to document history. I had the idea a couple of years ago to bring together 10 of the best and the brightest, most independent filmmakers, people who had not worked for The History Channel before, to each direct one hour of a series that documents days, events and moments that reflect who we are as a nation and how we got to be this way.

We didn't want to come up with a Top 10 list or a countdown. The History Channel is not going to tell the world what the 10 most important days are. That's not what this is about.

Our goal was to come up with days that would be significant and credible, and also be exciting television. We weren't writing a history text book. We wanted to find the spark or trigger that may have set off a chain of events that unexpectedly led to a change in our country.
