Up from slavery. Season 1

Batty, Coby, (narrator.). Hershberger, Kevin R., (director,, producer.). Blakley, Baron, (screenwriter.).

Summary: In 1860, as the American Experiment threatened to explode into a bloody civil war, there were as many as four hundred thousand slave-owners in the United States, and almost four million slaves. The nation was founded upon the idea that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The nation would pay a bloody cost for denying that right to more than twelve percent of its population.
