A four part series portraying the struggles of the African people in America, from the 1600s to the last days before the Civil War. Part 1: 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. Part 2: While the American colonies challenged Britain for independence, American slavery was challenged from within as men and women fought to define what America would be. When the War of Independence was won, black people, both enslaved and free, seized on the language of freedom even as the new nation's Constitution codified slavery as a national way of life.
