The first episode, Terrible transformation, examines the origins of one of the largest forced human migrations in recorded history. After the arrival of the first Africans in Virginia in 1619, the British colonies laid the groundwork for a system of racial slavery which generated profits that ensured the colonies' growth and survival. In the second episode, Revolution, while the American colonies challenge Britain for independence, American slavery is challenged from within as men and women fight to define what America will be. When the War of Independence is won, black people, both enslaved and free, seize on the language of freedom even while the new nation's Constitution codifies slavery and oppression as a national way of life. In the third episode, Brotherly love, during the first 50 years of the new nation, freedmen and fugitive slaves in Philadelphia push the country to live up to the promises made in its Constitution. But with the invention of the cotton gin, slavery expands into America's western frontier, and a revolution in Haiti inspires slave rebellions throughout the souther United States. In the fourth and final episode, as the nation expands westward slavery becomes the most divisive issue in American life. Abolitionists struggle to bring the institution down and the nation is tested as never before. When tensions over slavery erupt into violence, Americans are forced to consider how long the country can continue as a democracy built on the profits of bondage. 538 DVD. 546 Closed-captioned for the hearing impaired. 648 7 17th century|2fast 648 7 To 1863|2fast 650 0 Slavery|zUnited States|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85123330 650 0 Slavery|zUnited States|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85123330|y17th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012473 650 0 Slavery|xEconomic aspects|zUnited States|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010113247|xHistory |y17th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006123 650 0 Slavery|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85123314|zVirginia|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n79022909-781|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Slavery|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85123314|xEconomic aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005484|zVirginia|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79022909-781|xHistory. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 African Americans|xHistory|yTo 1863.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85001956 650 0 Slavery|xJustification.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85123319 650 7 Slavery.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1120426 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Slavery|xEconomic aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1120438 650 7 African Americans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 799558 650 7 Slavery|xJustification.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1120462 651 0 United States|xHistory|yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140131 651 0 Virginia|xHistory|yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85143765 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 651 7 Virginia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204597 655 7 Video recordings for the hearing impaired.|2lcgft|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2011026725 655 7 Video recordings for the hearing impaired.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1710450 655 7 Video recordings.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2011026723 655 7 Video recordings.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1692913 700 1 Bagwell, Orlando.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n88240604 700 1 Bellows, Susan.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n97856405 700 1 Fayer, Steve,|d1935-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n88292481 700 1 Bassett, Angela.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no95049258 700 1 Reagon, Bernice Johnson,|d1942-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80026740 700 1 Johnson, Charles,|d1948-|tAfricans in America. 710 2 WGBH (Television station : Boston, Mass.)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80089989 710 2 WGBH Educational Foundation.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n50052713 710 2 PBS Video.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81062763 730 0 Africans in America (Television program)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2003079963 830 0 Africans in America (Television program)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2003079963 830 0 History's best on PBS.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no00002464 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 399978 994 C0|bRID
