Bloody History of America
The story of America is the story of both civil war and
world war, of gold rush and dust bowl, of Prohibition and the Mafia, of the
Salem Witch Trials and the McCarthy-era witch-hunts. From the Iroquois and early
European settlers to the Revolutionary War and Civil War, from slavery to
segregation, this series is a chronological examination of the United States
through politics, labor, big business, crime, and culture. Featuring such varied
characters as Thomas Jefferson and John Brown, Bugsy Siegel and J.P. Morgan,
Calamity Jane, Chuck Berry and Bonnie & Clyde, it tells the story of the
first major colony to revolt successfully against colonial rule and how it
became one of the world’s most powerful countries.
