The history of America spans fifteen thousand years — from the first migrants who crossed the Bering land bridge to the modern United States. It is the story of a nation built on a promise of freedom and equality, and of the contradictions that betrayed it: slavery, conquest, and the dispossession of the peoples who were here first. This American history documentary begins with America before Columbus: the Mississippian culture and the city of Cahokia, which rivaled medieval London in size, the cliff villages of the Pueblo peoples, and the Iroquois Confederacy, whose Great Law of Peace influenced the founders of American democracy. It follows Christopher Columbus in 1492, the epidemics that killed most of the Native American population, and the founding of Jamestown, Plymouth, and the thirteen colonies. US history takes its decisive turn with the American Revolution — from the Boston Tea Party and Lexington and Concord to the Declaration of Independence, George Washington's victory at Yorktown, and the Constitution of 1787. Then came westward expansion: the Louisiana Purchase, Lewis and Clark, the Trail of Tears, the Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush, until the question of slavery tore the nation apart in the American Civil War. From Reconstruction and the Gilded Age to World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II, the history of the United States becomes the rise of a superpower. The Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement of Martin Luther King Jr., the Vietnam War, and the Moon landing reshaped it again, while 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the 2008 financial crisis, and January 6 bring the story to the present day. How does a nation founded on the idea that all men are created equal reckon with a history that so often denied it? This is the entire history of America.
