From the very beginnin',
it was deadly serious.

22
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:48,252
This was no interim idea
or experiment.

23
00:02:48,293 --> 00:02:51,380
The principal founding fathers
were all Southern.

24
00:02:51,421 --> 00:02:53,715
They saw themselves
in the best tradition

25
00:02:53,757 --> 00:02:56,677
of George Washington
and Thomas Jefferson.

26
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,139
NARRATOR: "In their eyes, they would"
<i>lead a second American Revolution.</i>

27
00:03:40,304 --> 00:03:45,225
See, Bobby, the richest Americans
were concentrated in the South.

28
00:03:45,309 --> 00:03:48,645
But Mr. Johnson, the North
had significant industry...

29
00:03:48,729 --> 00:03:50,939
wouldn't "they" have been wealthier?

30
00:03:51,023 --> 00:03:54,985
Remember, Bobby,
cotton was America's number one export.

31
00:03:55,068 --> 00:03:58,488
This made Southerners,
as well as Northern textile mills,

32
00:03:58,572 --> 00:04:00,532
very wealthy.

33
00:04:01,742 --> 00:04:03,952
So cotton was king!

34
00:04:06,997 --> 00:04:11,877
Boy howdy! Slaves must have been
pretty important then, huh?

35
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,921
And how!

36
00:04:19,510 --> 00:04:22,930
NARRATOR:

42
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:44,660
Golly, Mr. Johnson,

43
00:04:44,743 --> 00:04:48,330
America was "always"
a slave-based economy!

44
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:52,459
That's right, Bobby.
And that's why we fought for it.

MAN: "If I could save the Union"

<i>Abraham Lincoln.</i>

50
00:05:14,565 --> 00:05:18,861
NARRATOR: "By January 1861,"
<i>most people in the American South</i>

51
00:05:18,944 --> 00:05:22,823
<i>believed the election of</i>
<i>Republican president Abraham Lincoln</i>

52
00:05:22,906 --> 00:05:26,243
<i>would terminate</i>
<i>their ownership of Negroes.</i>

53
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:28,495
<i>A provisional government was formed,</i>

54
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:33,083
<i>and Jefferson Davis of Mississippi</i>
<i>was elected president.</i>

55
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:37,296
<i>The new seal of the Confederacy expressed</i>
<i>the vision of the young nation.</i>

56
00:05:37,379 --> 00:05:40,257
<i>Surrounded by a bountiful</i>
<i>agricultural Eden,</i>

57
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:43,468
<i>at its center is George Washington</i>
<i>on horseback.</i>

58
00:05:43,552 --> 00:05:46,221
<i>Washington,</i>
<i>a Virginian and slaveholder,</i>

59
00:05:46,305 --> 00:05:48,891
<i>would become the father</i>
<i>of the Confederacy.</i>

60
00:05:48,932 --> 00:05:51,143
In very little time,

61
00:05:51,226 --> 00:05:55,856
the Confederacy defined itself
as an independent, sovereign nation.

62
00:05:55,939 --> 00:05:58,317
One man from Virginia remarked,

63
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,903
"Hellfire, if I had known
it was gonna be that easy,

64
00:06:00,986 --> 00:06:04,198
I'd cut loose from the Yankee
years ago."

65
00:06:05,991 --> 00:06:09,369
NARRATOR: "Meanwhile,"
<i>the Union victory at Antitem</i>

66
00:06:09,453 --> 00:06:14,208
<i>gave President Lincoln the opportunity</i>
<i>to make a revolutionary proclamation.</i>

67
00:06:14,291 --> 00:06:17,586
"LINCOLN: "I do" order "and declare"
<i>that all persons held as slaves</i>

68
00:06:17,628 --> 00:06:20,756
<i>"within said designated states</i>
<i>and parts of states</i>

69
00:06:20,797 --> 00:06:24,301
<i>are and henceforward</i>
<i>shall be free."</i>

70
00:06:27,429 --> 00:06:31,433
NARRATOR: "The proclamation"
<i>did not free a single slave.</i>

71
00:06:31,475 --> 00:06:33,685
<i>It was purely symbolic</i>

72
00:06:33,769 --> 00:06:37,856
<i>and used by Lincoln</i>
<i>to frame the war in moral intent.</i>

73
00:06:38,982 --> 00:06:42,611
<i>President Davis countered</i>
<i>so-called emancipation</i>

74
00:06:42,653 --> 00:06:44,947
<i>by sending Judah P. Benjamin</i>

75

<i>to negotiate the military</i>
<i>and financial involvement</i>

<i>of the foreign powers</i>
<i>Britain and France.</i>

77
00:06:51,495 --> 00:06:56,124
<i>Benjamin, a Jew</i>
<i>and the South's most brilliant legal mind,</i>

78
00:06:56,208 --> 00:07:00,254
<i>defied anti-Semitic attitudes</i>
<i>to become Secretary of State</i>

79
00:07:00,337 --> 00:07:02,881
<i>and President Davis' chief advisor.</i>

80
00:07:02,965 --> 00:07:04,675
<i>Benjamin matched Lincoln</i>

81
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:08,512
<i>by wisely promoting the Southern cause</i>
<i>of states' rights...</i>

82
00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:13,809
<i>not as the preservation of slavery,</i>
<i>but as the freedom of private property.</i>

83
00:07:13,892 --> 00:07:15,978
<i>Benjamin's gambit worked.</i>

84
00:07:16,019 --> 00:07:18,188
<i>Fighting for freedom, not slavery,</i>

85
00:07:18,272 --> 00:07:21,692
<i>opened the avenue for</i>
<i>Europe's entrance into the war.</i>

86
00:07:21,775 --> 00:07:25,445
<i>With the assistance of several divisions</i>
<i>of British and French troops,</i>

87
00:07:25,529 --> 00:07:29,324
<i>Lee's armies at Gettysburg</i>
<i>routed the Union forces.</i>

88
00:07:29,408 --> 00:07:32,411
When those federal soldiers
saw those French and British troops

89
00:07:32,494 --> 00:07:35,455
moving up on line
on either side of Lee's flanks,

90
00:07:35,539 --> 00:07:37,165
many of 'em just broke and ran.

91
00:07:37,207 --> 00:07:39,042
NARRATOR:
<i>And in a matter of months,</i>

92
00:07:39,126 --> 00:07:41,461
<i>Southern troops took the nation's capital,</i>

93
00:07:41,545 --> 00:07:43,714
<i>capturing the White House.</i>

94
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:48,218
<i>But there was no sign</i>

<i>In a small house</i>

<i>on April 9, 1864,</i>

97
00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:58,854
<i>General Ulysses S. Grant</i>
<i>surrendered to General Robert E. Lee.</i>

98
00:07:58,896 --> 00:08:03,317
<i>The bloody conflict had finally ended.</i>

99
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,446
<i>It became the primary objective</i>
<i>of Confederate forces</i>

100
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:11,700
<i>to locate and arrest</i>
<i>the now-deposed President Lincoln.</i>

101
00:08:11,742 --> 00:08:14,369
<i>Confederate forces were everywhere.</i>

102
00:08:14,411 --> 00:08:18,040
<i>A desperate Lincoln</i>
<i>turned to Harriet Tubman.</i>

103
00:08:18,081 --> 00:08:21,710
<i>Tubman, wanted,</i>
<i>with a huge bounty on her head,</i>

104
00:08:21,752 --> 00:08:27,090
<i>would the last resort for a president</i>
<i>literally running for his life.</i>

105
00:08:27,174 --> 00:08:31,136
<i>Tubman's underground railroad</i>
<i>was a series of way stations</i>

106
00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:34,848
<i>that organized the escape</i>
<i>of over 200 slaves</i>

107
00:08:34,932 --> 00:08:38,519
<i>out of the United States, to freedom.</i>

108
00:08:38,602 --> 00:08:43,565
<i>But her dearest passenger would require</i>
<i>Tubman's most ingenious plan to date.</i>

109
00:08:43,649 --> 00:08:45,150
WOMAN:
She chose to disguise

110
00:08:45,234 --> 00:08:47,402
President Lincoln in blackface

111
00:08:47,486 --> 00:08:51,365
and travel with him along one of
her many secret slave routes.

112
00:08:51,448 --> 00:08:55,619
When Lincoln scoffed at the plan,
Tubman, never one to mince words,

113
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:59,164
reminded him of the huge bounty
on his head.

114
00:08:59,248 --> 00:09:04,920
She said simply,
"We're both niggers now... Mr. President."

115
00:09:05,003 --> 00:09:07,756
NARRATOR:
<i>A crack battalion of Confederate troops</i>

116
00:09:07,798 --> 00:09:12,094
<i>was dispatched from Detroit</i>
<i>to locate and arrest Lincoln and Tubman</i>

117
00:09:12,135 --> 00:09:15,138
<i>before they could escape into Canada.</i>

118
00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:19,852
<i>Lincoln and Tubman were captured</i>
<i>trying to cross Lake St. Clair.</i>

119
00:09:19,935 --> 00:09:24,690
<i>President Abraham Lincoln was now</i>
<i>a prisoner of the Confederate Army.</i>

120
00:09:24,773 --> 00:09:29,069
<i>In 1915, the capture of Lincoln</i>
<i>as also dramatized</i>

121
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:33,574
<i>in D. W. Griffith's silent film classic</i>
<i>"The Hunt for Dishonest Abe."</i>

122
00:09:33,657 --> 00:09:36,660
(piano accompanies
silent film)

123
00:11:02,412 --> 00:11:07,000
Jefferson Davis, on learnin' of
Mr. Lincoln's capture in blackface,

124
00:11:07,084 --> 00:11:09,878
termed the arrest "symbolic."

125
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,755
NARRATOR:
<i>A quick trial was convened,</i>

126
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:14,800
<i>and former-President Lincoln</i>
<i>was convicted of war crimes</i>

127
00:11:14,883 --> 00:11:16,593
<i>against the Southern Nation.</i>

128
00:11:16,677 --> 00:11:21,223
<i>He was imprisoned in Fortress Monroe</i>
<i>near Norfolk, Virginia.</i>

129
00:11:21,306 --> 00:11:25,727
<i>It was from the window of his damp cell</i>
<i>that he watched the execution</i>

130
00:11:25,769 --> 00:11:29,189
<i>of the woman who runaway slaves</i>
<i>called "Moses."</i>

131
00:11:29,273 --> 00:11:32,568
Tubman knew on her capture
that she would be executed

132
00:11:32,609 --> 00:11:34,862
for her many crimes against the South.

133
00:11:36,655 --> 00:11:40,450
TUBMAN: "I'd rather die fightin'"
<i>to free others from this evil nation</i>

134
00:11:40,534 --> 00:11:44,746
<i>than live within it</i>
<i>another minute as a slave."</i>

135
00:11:47,416 --> 00:11:52,337
There were many who were clamorin'
for Mr. Lincoln's execution also,

136
00:11:52,421 --> 00:11:55,841
but President Davis understood
that sparing Lincoln's life

137
00:11:55,924 --> 00:11:58,385
would ease tensions in the North.

138
00:11:58,468 --> 00:12:02,097
A wise man, he was already
lookin' to the future.

139
00:12:02,181 --> 00:12:04,433
NARRATOR:
<i>After serving two years,</i>

140
00:12:04,516 --> 00:12:08,103
<i>a frail and gaunt Lincoln</i>
<i>was granted a full pardon</i>

141
00:12:08,187 --> 00:12:10,147
<i>and exiled to Canada.</i>

142
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:12,858
<i>He never returned to his homeland.</i>

143
00:12:12,941 --> 00:12:16,945
<i>In June 1905, shortly before his death,</i>

144
00:12:16,987 --> 00:12:20,949
<i>he granted a rare interview from Montreal.</i>

145
00:12:20,991 --> 00:12:23,702
LINCOLN:
<i>"I failed to see it.</i>

146
00:12:23,785 --> 00:12:27,956
The abolitionists understood
what the consequences would be.

147
00:12:27,998 --> 00:12:32,961
They knew it was always
about the Negro, but I was blind.

148
00:12:33,045 --> 00:12:34,671
Now I see.

149
00:12:34,755 --> 00:12:39,092
I see what our once-great country
has become.

150
00:12:39,176 --> 00:12:44,181
I only wish that I had
truly cared for the Negro...

151
00:12:44,264 --> 00:12:47,059
truly cared for his freedom,

152
00:12:47,142 --> 00:12:49,895
for his equality.

153
00:12:49,978 --> 00:12:54,233
I used him, now I am used.

154
00:12:54,316 --> 00:12:58,987
Now I, too, am a Negro...
without a country.

155
00:13:01,156 --> 00:13:08,372
I pray that someday the colored people
of Confederate America will be free.

156
00:13:08,455 --> 00:13:12,918
A nation stained with the blood
of injustice cannot stand.

157
00:13:13,001 --> 00:13:16,296
I only regret that...

158
00:13:16,380 --> 00:13:20,676
I shall not live to see it fall.

159
00:13:23,595 --> 00:13:26,682
HOYLE: When Mr. Lincoln
died in exile in Canada,

160
00:13:26,723 --> 00:13:29,518
he was a lonely and bitter man...

161
00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:32,271
disgraced, abandoned...

162
00:13:32,354 --> 00:13:35,899
almost entirely forgotten by history.

163
00:13:35,983 --> 00:13:38,485
Today he's only remembered as

164
00:13:38,569 --> 00:13:42,406
the man who lost the war
of Northern aggression.

165
00:13:52,082 --> 00:13:54,501
(engine running)

166
00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:57,171
(engine off)

167
00:13:57,254 --> 00:14:01,758
I'm so tired of eating dust.
I've tried everything, and nothin' works.

168
00:14:01,842 --> 00:14:05,012
Is there "anything" that can
make this car faster?

169
00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:07,055
Try some of this, sport.

170
00:14:07,097 --> 00:14:09,099
- Duke Cooter!
- Duke Cooter!

171
00:14:09,141 --> 00:14:13,770
Sambo X-15 is specially formulated
for the way America drives.

172
00:14:13,854 --> 00:14:16,773
It blasts and cleans away
those stubborn black deposits

173
00:14:16,815 --> 00:14:18,400
that rob your engine of power.

174
00:14:18,442 --> 00:14:20,694
It lubricates and protects!

175
00:14:20,777 --> 00:14:23,989
Listen to her purr!
Thanks, Duke.

176
00:14:24,072 --> 00:14:27,743
Don't thank me.
Thank Sambo X-15.

177
00:14:27,826 --> 00:14:30,162
It's what the pros use.

178
00:14:33,373 --> 00:14:38,420
- When may I expect dinner, Beulah?
- Presently, Mr. Harry, presently.

VOICEOVER:
<i>What would the noontime be</i>

<i>"Leave it to Beulah"?</i>

<i>Beulah, who's always in the kitchen...</i>

NARRATOR: "The victory was cause"
<i>for grand celebration.</i>

184
00:15:05,489 --> 00:15:09,159
<i>Plantations throughout the South</i>

<i>returning them to a now-blessed</i>

187
00:15:15,082 --> 00:15:17,042
<i>With the stroke of a pen,</i>

188
00:15:17,125 --> 00:15:20,546
<i>President Davis annexes</i>
<i>the United States.</i>

189

<i>The symbols of the old government</i>
<i>are removed.</i>

190
00:15:23,006 --> 00:15:26,927
<i>It becomes</i>
<i>the Confederate States of America.</i>

191
00:15:27,010 --> 00:15:31,682
<i>"Dixie," a former minstrel show tune,</i>
<i>written, ironically, by a Northerner,</i>

192
00:15:31,765 --> 00:15:35,060
<i>replaces the National Anthem.</i>

193
00:15:36,895 --> 00:15:39,690
<i>President Davis quickly left Richmond</i>

194
00:15:39,773 --> 00:15:44,027
<i>and moved the office of the presidency</i>
<i>to Washington and the White House.</i>

195
00:15:44,111 --> 00:15:47,406
<i>But two problems would follow.</i>

<i>Moses Butler,</i>

<i>General Robert E. Lee.</i>

217
00:17:11,615 --> 00:17:14,952
NARRATOR: "The fate of millions"
<i>of black slaves seemed settled</i>

218
00:17:15,035 --> 00:17:17,871
<i>when a surprising call</i>
<i>for emancipation arose</i>

219
00:17:17,955 --> 00:17:20,749
<i>from an even more surprising source.</i>

220
00:17:20,791 --> 00:17:24,586
LEE: "I again assert that Virginia"
<i>and the South as a whole</i>

221
00:17:24,670 --> 00:17:28,841
<i>"would fare better if she could</i>

222
00:17:28,924 --> 00:17:34,555
<i>They will be a cause of serious trouble</i>
<i>in our attempt to hold them."</i>

223
00:17:34,638 --> 00:17:37,558
NARRATOR:
<i>Lee would cause a firestorm of debate</i>

224
00:17:37,641 --> 00:17:41,436
<i>over what to do with</i>
<i>the post-war slaves.</i>

225
00:17:41,478 --> 00:17:45,816
<i>A dashing freshman congressman</i>
<i>from Virginia would take the floor</i>

226

<i>and establish himself as the leader</i>
<i>of the pro-slavery position.</i>

227
00:17:50,153 --> 00:17:53,115
<i>It is said that John Ambrose Fauntroy</i>

228
00:17:53,198 --> 00:17:55,784
<i>could persuade any colleague</i>
<i>from his position</i>

229
00:17:55,868 --> 00:17:58,912
<i>or charm any woman from her dress.</i>

230
00:17:58,996 --> 00:18:02,916
FAUNTROY: "We have always known"
<i>that the honorable General Lee</i>

231
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,003
<i>"was a secret emancipationist.</i>

<i>"However, the noble gentleman</i>

<i>Congressman John Ambrose Fauntroy,</i>
<i>1865.</i>

238
00:18:32,487 --> 00:18:34,781
NARRATOR:
<i>President Davis, however,</i>

239
00:18:34,865 --> 00:18:37,451
<i>approached the question from</i>
<i>a practical point of view.</i>

240
00:18:37,534 --> 00:18:40,996
Davis was having
one of his many sleepless nights.

241
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:44,333
He was down in the kitchen
with Varina, his wife,

242
00:18:44,416 --> 00:18:49,671
when his faithful servant, Ol' Popsy,
brought him a cup of hot coffee.

243
00:18:49,755 --> 00:18:54,676
And over that cup of coffee,
they would alter the course of history.

244
00:18:54,718 --> 00:18:56,094
NARRATOR:
<i>The moment was captured</i>

245
00:18:56,178 --> 00:19:00,724
<i>in the 1946 RKO film</i>
<i>"The Jefferson Davis Story."</i>

246
00:19:00,807 --> 00:19:04,728
<i>The role of Popsy is played by</i>
<i>the renowned Shakespearean actor</i>

247
00:19:04,770 --> 00:19:07,272
<i>Sir Frederick Littlefield.</i>

248
00:19:10,484 --> 00:19:12,861
VARINA: Come to bed, Jefferson.

249
00:19:12,903 --> 00:19:16,990
- You haven't slept all night.
- How can I sleep, Varina?

250
00:19:17,074 --> 00:19:19,910
I must find a way to unite this country.

251
00:19:19,993 --> 00:19:21,286
(Popsy chuckling)

252
00:19:21,370 --> 00:19:25,749
I heard Miss Varina stirring.
I knew you were up again.

253
00:19:25,791 --> 00:19:29,670
Lawd, sir, what am I
gonna do with you?

254
00:19:29,753 --> 00:19:34,508
Jefferson, you've tried so.
Don't make yourself ill.

255
00:19:34,591 --> 00:19:37,594
Mm-hmm. You sho' nuff have, suh.

256
00:19:37,678 --> 00:19:39,972
You done all a man can do, suh.

257
00:19:40,055 --> 00:19:43,100
I know, I know, but...

258
00:19:43,183 --> 00:19:46,728
I must find a way to bring the North
into our way of life.

259
00:19:46,812 --> 00:19:50,649
If I don't, it may spell disaster.

260
00:19:52,985 --> 00:19:54,736
Master President?

261
00:19:54,778 --> 00:19:59,449
May an old no-account darkie like me
axe a question, sir?

262
00:19:59,533 --> 00:20:02,995
- Yes, what is it, Popsy?
- Well, Master President,

263
00:20:03,078 --> 00:20:06,415
I heard folks say back long ago

264
00:20:06,456 --> 00:20:09,293
that them Northern folks had slaves.

265
00:20:09,376 --> 00:20:13,005
Yes, they did, Popsy.
Years ago.

266
00:20:13,088 --> 00:20:17,384
Well, Master, supposin'...
just supposin' now...

267
00:20:17,467 --> 00:20:22,389
they owned them "again..."
just like in the old days.

268
00:20:22,472 --> 00:20:24,975
It was good to 'em once,

269
00:20:25,017 --> 00:20:28,103
might be good to 'em... again.

270
00:20:28,187 --> 00:20:30,230
My God!

271
00:20:31,273 --> 00:20:32,441
That's it!

272
00:20:33,817 --> 00:20:34,776
JOHNSON: Ironically,

273
00:20:34,860 --> 00:20:38,864
it was the old slave
who gave President Davis the notion

274
00:20:38,947 --> 00:20:42,201
that would rejuvenate
the institution of slavery

275
00:20:42,284 --> 00:20:45,621
and direct the country's path
for centuries to come.

276
00:20:45,704 --> 00:20:48,582
<i>The Davis plan took the form</i>
<i>of an income tax</i>

277
00:20:48,665 --> 00:20:51,126
<i>designed to rebuild the North.</i>

278
00:20:51,210 --> 00:20:56,548
<i>Still, former Unionists</i>
<i>did have another option.</i>

279
00:20:56,632 --> 00:21:00,802
The entire tax, collected only
from former Union citizens,

280
00:21:00,844 --> 00:21:04,806
could be abated with the purchase
of household or industrial slaves.

281
00:21:04,848 --> 00:21:06,266
The choice was yours.

282

292

- Since the beginning, sir.
- Yeah.

293
00:21:36,421 --> 00:21:39,591
- He's like family to us.
- Pleasure meeting you, Horace.

FAUNTROY V:
<i>Great-grandfather, he...</i>

295
00:21:42,553 --> 00:21:44,346
oh, he welcomed the appointment.

296
00:21:44,429 --> 00:21:46,515
See, he was a student of human nature,

297
00:21:46,557 --> 00:21:51,019
so he... well, he easily predicted the choice
that the Northerners would make.

298
00:21:51,103 --> 00:21:56,733
And he was humored by the sudden
moral confusion of the abolitionists.

299
00:21:56,817 --> 00:22:01,113
He called the whole thing
a giant garden party for the nation.

300
00:22:02,072 --> 00:22:05,284
NARRATOR: "Stray Negroes,"

<i>children, the elderly,</i>

<i>or anyone with dark skin</i>
<i>who could not prove Caucasian ancestry,</i>

303
00:22:12,082 --> 00:22:16,962
<i>were arrested and placed in cattle pens</i>
<i>in most major Northern cities.</i>

304
00:22:17,045 --> 00:22:20,674
<i>Former Southern owners</i>
<i>traveled for hundreds of miles</i>

305
00:22:20,757 --> 00:22:23,385
<i>to sort through</i>
<i>the thousands of black faces</i>

306
00:22:23,427 --> 00:22:26,430
<i>and claim their escaped property.</i>

307
00:22:26,471 --> 00:22:29,224
<i>Most perplexed about their fate</i>
<i>under the plan</i>

308
00:22:29,308 --> 00:22:32,269
<i>were those of mixed racial background.</i>

309
00:22:32,311 --> 00:22:35,731
<i>A small number of</i>
<i>so-called mulatto slave owners</i>

310
00:22:35,772 --> 00:22:39,067
<i>existed in South Carolina</i>
<i>and other Southern states.</i>

311
00:22:39,151 --> 00:22:41,862
<i>Formerly called Free Men of Color,</i>

312
00:22:41,945 --> 00:22:44,573
<i>under the Davis Plan</i>
<i>the "One Drop Statute"</i>

313
00:22:44,615 --> 00:22:47,826
<i>constituted their inclusion</i>
<i>to the breed.</i>

314
00:22:47,910 --> 00:22:52,915
Mixed-race slaveholders were sold
right along with their full-blooded slaves.

315
00:22:52,998 --> 00:22:58,754
As one slave put it, "Light, bright,
damn sure ain't white."

316
00:22:58,795 --> 00:23:03,342
NARRATOR: "Abolitionists rallied"
<i>to combat the Davis Plan.</i>

317
00:23:03,425 --> 00:23:07,804
<i>Walt Whitman penned this protest</i>
"in the" Brooklyn Eagle:

318
00:23:07,846 --> 00:23:13,435
<i>"Slavery is a good thing to the rich,</i>
<i>the one out of thousands,</i>

319
00:23:13,519 --> 00:23:17,940
<i>"but it is destructive</i>
<i>to the dignity and independence</i>

320
00:23:17,981 --> 00:23:22,778
<i>of all who work,</i>
<i>and to labor itself."</i>

321
00:23:22,861 --> 00:23:25,072
<i>But Fauntroy countered:</i>

322
00:23:25,155 --> 00:23:29,284
<i>"We are immigrants</i>
<i>from different countries,</i>

323
00:23:29,326 --> 00:23:32,120
<i>"different backgrounds,</i>

324
00:23:32,162 --> 00:23:37,459
<i>"Only one tie holds us all together:</i>
<i>Our white ancestry.</i>

325
00:23:37,501 --> 00:23:41,129
<i>"But this slavery is afforded</i>
<i>not just for the rich,</i>

326
00:23:41,171 --> 00:23:44,132
<i>"but for every man according to his color.</i>

327
00:23:44,174 --> 00:23:50,681
<i>"I wish to God every head of a family</i>
<i>in this great land had one slave</i>

328
00:23:50,764 --> 00:23:55,686
<i>to take the drudgery and menial service</i>
<i>off the family."</i>

329
00:23:55,727 --> 00:23:57,980
JOHNSON:
Northerners began to appreciate

330
00:23:58,021 --> 00:23:59,982
what Southerners had always known:

331
00:24:00,023 --> 00:24:02,609
It's good to be the master.

332
00:24:02,693 --> 00:24:06,321
NARRATOR: "A secret meeting was"
<i>held in the home of Susan B. Anthony</i>

333
00:24:06,405 --> 00:24:09,950
<i>to respond to the success</i>
<i>of the Davis Plan.</i>

334
00:24:10,033 --> 00:24:14,329
<i>There, William Lloyd Garrison</i>
<i>read his now-famous letter</i>

335
00:24:14,371 --> 00:24:16,582
<i>"Why We Must Leave."</i>

336
00:24:16,665 --> 00:24:19,710
GARRISON: "We are living"
<i>under a brutal slave oligarchy</i>

337
00:24:19,793 --> 00:24:24,590
<i>"that now threatens to starve us</i>
<i>if we do not do their evil bidding.</i>

<i>"Never, my dear friends.</i>

342
00:24:37,060 --> 00:24:40,022
<i>Simply, we must leave."</i>

343
00:24:40,063 --> 00:24:43,317
NARRATOR: "About 20,000 whites,"
<i>mostly Northerners,</i>

344
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,861
<i>followed Garrison across the border</i>
<i>to Canada.</i>

345
00:24:45,944 --> 00:24:50,073
<i>Among the notable expatriates</i>
<i>were Harriet Beecher Stowe,</i>

346
00:24:50,157 --> 00:24:52,034
<i>Henry David Thoreau,</i>

347
00:24:52,075 --> 00:24:53,785
<i>Mark Twain,</i>

00:24:53,869 --> 00:24:56,371
<i>Ralph Waldo Emerson,</i>

349
00:24:56,455 --> 00:24:59,416
<i>and the outspoken Wendell Phillips.</i>

350
00:24:59,458 --> 00:25:01,793
PHILLIPS: "It does not surprise me"
<i>that the North</i>

351
00:25:01,877 --> 00:25:04,046
<i>"has taken to this monstrous plan.</i>

352
00:25:04,087 --> 00:25:07,049
<i>"There were always just a few</i>
<i>true abolitionists.</i>

353
00:25:07,090 --> 00:25:10,552
<i>"For if the North were ever</i>

<i>it would not have lasted</i>
<i>these many years."</i>

355
00:25:13,555 --> 00:25:17,392
NARRATOR: "Another to leave"
<i>was the suffragette Susan B. Anthony.</i>

356
00:25:17,476 --> 00:25:20,521
<i>Anthony would lead</i>
<i>a women's movement in Canada,</i>

357
00:25:20,604 --> 00:25:23,482
<i>gaining the vote for women in 1912.</i>

358
00:25:23,565 --> 00:25:26,902
One particular incident that really
got the attention of the country

359
00:25:26,944 --> 00:25:30,739
was the matter of Cassie Brown
in 1875.

360
00:25:30,822 --> 00:25:33,951
Cassie was a slave woman
who brutally murdered

361
00:25:34,034 --> 00:25:36,995
the three white children in her charge
and escaped.

362
00:25:37,079 --> 00:25:39,915
And she was never captured.

363
00:25:39,957 --> 00:25:44,294
BROWN: "It hurts me to my soul"
<i>that I took them children's lives.</i>

364
00:25:44,378 --> 00:25:48,173
<i>"I loved them children,</i>
<i>I swear I did.</i>

365
00:25:48,257 --> 00:25:51,635
<i>"I had me three children once ago.</i>

366
00:25:51,718 --> 00:25:54,346
<i>"They was took off and sold from me.</i>

367
00:25:54,429 --> 00:25:57,099
<i>"Them white babies</i>
<i>wasn't my children,</i>

368
00:25:57,140 --> 00:25:59,142
<i>"and I wasn't they mama.</i>

369
00:26:00,727 --> 00:26:05,649
<i>No woman can be mama who ain't free."</i>

370
00:26:05,732 --> 00:26:09,945
<i>Cassie Brown, 1875.</i>

371
00:26:11,989 --> 00:26:14,366
HOYLE: For the first time,
people began to wonder

372
00:26:14,449 --> 00:26:17,411
could they trust their black Mammy?

373
00:26:17,494 --> 00:26:19,955
NARRATOR: "Slave owners"
<i>left befuddled at the behavior</i>

374
00:26:19,997 --> 00:26:21,540
<i>of their beloved slaves,</i>

375
00:26:21,623 --> 00:26:25,961
<i>turned to Dr. Samuel A. Cartwright</i>
<i>of the University of Louisiana,</i>

376
00:26:26,003 --> 00:26:29,006
<i>a highly respected</i>
<i>and widely published member</i>

377
00:26:29,047 --> 00:26:31,633
<i>of the American Medical Association.</i>

378
00:26:31,717 --> 00:26:35,846
<i>Cartwright, considered an expert</i>
<i>on Negro diseases and peculiarities,</i>

379
00:26:35,929 --> 00:26:40,517
<i>had made a major breakthrough with</i>
<i>his discovery of Drapetomania.</i>

380
00:26:40,601 --> 00:26:44,855
Drapetomania is a disease which
causes slaves to run away.

381
00:26:44,938 --> 00:26:47,941
From the Latin "drapto,"
meaning "to flee,"

382
00:26:48,025 --> 00:26:49,818
and "mania," an obsession.

383
00:26:49,902 --> 00:26:52,863
Thus Dr. Cartwright believed
Drapetomania to be

384
00:26:52,946 --> 00:26:55,699
the root cause of all runaways.

385
00:26:55,782 --> 00:26:58,994
Amazingly, his research
would influence

386
00:26:59,036 --> 00:27:02,289
an entire generation
of medical thought.

387
00:27:02,372 --> 00:27:05,542
CARTWRIGHT:
<i>"A slave is like a child</i>

388
00:27:05,626 --> 00:27:09,338
<i>"and should be treated with care.</i>

389
00:27:09,379 --> 00:27:12,883
<i>"However, when a slave becomes sulky</i>

390
00:27:12,966 --> 00:27:16,094
<i>"or dissatisfied,</i>

00:27:16,178 --> 00:27:20,766
<i>then I prescribe</i>

<i>Dr. Samuel A. Cartwright, 1870.</i>

393
00:27:25,729 --> 00:27:27,523
NARRATOR:
<i>John Ambrose Fauntroy,</i>

394
00:27:27,606 --> 00:27:30,359
<i>who many call</i>
<i>the father of modern slavery,</i>

395
00:27:30,442 --> 00:27:34,613
<i>received the Democratic</i>
<i>presidential nomination in 1880,</i>

396
00:27:34,696 --> 00:27:38,200
<i>but suffered a debilitating stroke</i>
<i>weeks later.</i>

397
00:27:38,283 --> 00:27:41,537
<i>He died in 1882.</i>

398
00:27:41,578 --> 00:27:45,832
<i>The Fauntroy family would capture</i>
<i>the imagination of the nation</i>

399
00:27:45,916 --> 00:27:47,918
<i>for years to come.</i>

400
00:27:48,001 --> 00:27:53,674
<i>A political dynasty, many consider</i>
<i>the talented family American royalty.</i>

401
00:28:00,597 --> 00:28:04,226
I wanted a career
working firsthand with doctors

402
00:28:04,268 --> 00:28:09,314
in a professional setting
that didn't take four long years.

403
00:28:09,398 --> 00:28:13,485
I wanted to help all God's creatures,
great and small.

404
00:28:13,569 --> 00:28:16,947
But my grades just weren't
high enough for medical school.

405
00:28:17,030 --> 00:28:20,242
But now I'm on the fast track
to success!

NARRATOR:
<i>While the Davis Plan rebuilt the cities,</i>

420
00:29:46,245 --> 00:29:49,540
<i>a psychological reconstruction</i>
<i>would be instrumental</i>

<i>in giving birth to a new nation.</i>

422
00:29:52,835 --> 00:29:55,295
<i>Confederate leaders</i>
<i>knew it was necessary</i>

<i>to reconstruct the minds</i>
<i>of its slaves and citizens.</i>

424
00:29:58,882 --> 00:30:03,637
<i>This would become what</i>
<i>some called the American Holocaust.</i>

425
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,517
Reconstruction would see to it
that moral authority was reestablished.

426
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,604
Many called it "gentle reminder."

427
00:30:15,190 --> 00:30:17,901
JOHNSON: Douglass and Garrison
responded to these horrors

428
00:30:17,985 --> 00:30:21,905
by organizing fugitive slaves,
free blacks, Canadians,

429

and former U.S. Citizens

the National Association for
the Advancement of Chattel People.

432
00:30:33,208 --> 00:30:35,043
NARRATOR:
<i>A Confederate delegation</i>

<i>met with Prime Minister</i>
<i>Sir John A. McDonald</i>

<i>located within the Canadian territory.</i>

436
00:30:44,386 --> 00:30:49,057
JOHNSON: These were the darkest days
since the overturning of emancipation.

437
00:30:49,099 --> 00:30:54,229
In the final hour, Frederick Douglass
was called before Parliament to speak.

438
00:30:55,772 --> 00:30:59,985
DOUGLASS: "Gentlemen, the Negro"

<i>My dear brothers,</i>
<i>stand with us in our fight for freedom."</i>

443
00:31:16,627 --> 00:31:21,757
The oratory of Douglass swayed
the needed votes against deportation.

444
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:27,054
However, the executions and tortures
had scared most slaves into submission.

445
00:31:27,137 --> 00:31:31,433
Until the very end,
until his death in 1895,

446
00:31:31,475 --> 00:31:36,313
Douglass fought against slavery
in the former United States.

447
00:31:36,396 --> 00:31:37,981
FAUNTROY V:
Yes, it's...

448
00:31:38,065 --> 00:31:40,651
it's over a hundred years ago,
but...

449
00:31:40,734 --> 00:31:44,947
but we have never forgotten
this Red Canadian injustice.

450
00:31:45,030 --> 00:31:50,035
This... stolen property,
the lost labor...

451
00:31:50,118 --> 00:31:53,497
must and will be repaid.

452
00:31:54,540 --> 00:31:57,543
Simply put, it's a debt...

453
00:31:57,626 --> 00:32:03,507
a debt that we demand in the form
of monetary reparations for slavery.

454
00:32:05,509 --> 00:32:07,719
NARRATOR: "Confederate"
<i>reconstruction efforts</i>

455
00:32:07,803 --> 00:32:11,807
<i>were curtailed by the ongoing conflict</i>
<i>with the Plains Indians.</i>

456
00:32:11,890 --> 00:32:15,352
<i>Land-hungry pioneers,</i>
<i>gold prospectors,</i>

457
00:32:15,394 --> 00:32:17,688
<i>and expanding railroads</i>
<i>wanted to move</i>

458
00:32:17,771 --> 00:32:20,816
<i>from the bustling South</i>
<i>into the Great Plains.</i>

459
00:32:20,858 --> 00:32:23,569
<i>The Indians would have</i>
<i>to be eliminated.</i>

460
00:32:23,652 --> 00:32:26,989
The government and their church leaders
instructed that, quote:

461
00:32:27,072 --> 00:32:29,324
"The Great Spirit
gave the white man the Book,

462
00:32:29,408 --> 00:32:33,078
the red man the arrow,
and the black man the hoe."

463
00:32:33,161 --> 00:32:35,497
They took our children from us.

464
00:32:35,539 --> 00:32:39,501
Children were forcibly removed
and sent to "boarding schools."

465
00:32:39,543 --> 00:32:43,589
These boarding schools were
nothing more than total institutions

466
00:32:43,672 --> 00:32:49,011
for the complete eradication
of their native heritage and pride.

467
00:32:49,052 --> 00:32:51,471
One of my elders once told me,

468
00:32:51,555 --> 00:32:55,601
"I've observed the red man
try to be a white man,

469
00:32:55,684 --> 00:33:00,731
"and I've seen many brown, black
and yellow men try the same.

470
00:33:00,814 --> 00:33:05,652
"But," he said, "no one
can play the white man like a white man."

471

NARRATOR: "The Plains Indian Wars"
<i>would last nearly thirty years.</i>

472
00:33:11,366 --> 00:33:16,371
<i>By 1890, the last Indian nation</i>
<i>had been defeated by the C.S. Cavalry.</i>

473
00:33:16,455 --> 00:33:19,708
<i>In California,</i>
<i>thousands of Chinese immigrants</i>

474
00:33:19,791 --> 00:33:21,210
<i>were employed as cheap labor</i>

475
00:33:21,293 --> 00:33:24,254
<i>constructing the nation's</i>
<i>new railroad system.</i>

476
00:33:24,338 --> 00:33:26,548
<i>They were caught</i>
<i>completely off guard</i>

477
00:33:26,632 --> 00:33:30,302
<i>when Congress passed</i>
<i>the Yellow Peril Mandate.</i>

478
00:33:30,385 --> 00:33:33,514
Government agents
simply told West Coast employers

479
00:33:33,597 --> 00:33:37,351
that the Chinese workers
they employed, they now owned.

480
00:33:37,434 --> 00:33:41,063
What had been cheap labor
became slave labor.

481
00:33:41,104 --> 00:33:44,399
HOYLE: One might have thought that
the proclamation of that mandate

482
00:33:44,483 --> 00:33:48,737
would have effectively halted the influx
of all those workers from Asia.

483
00:33:48,820 --> 00:33:51,365
But they just keep right on comin',

484
00:33:51,448 --> 00:33:55,494
still believin' that jobs and bright futures
were there waitin' for 'em.

485
00:33:55,577 --> 00:33:59,498
But that mandate effectively changed
the face of West Coast slavery

486
00:33:59,581 --> 00:34:01,750
from black to yellow.

487

<i>the Confederate States</i>

491
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,931
<i>would remain a Christian nation.</i>

492
00:34:15,973 --> 00:34:18,976
<i>The Christian Reform Act of 1895</i>

493
00:34:19,017 --> 00:34:22,813
<i>outlawed any religion</i>
<i>not based on Christianity.</i>

494
00:34:22,896 --> 00:34:25,315
<i>After much debate, it was decided</i>

495
00:34:25,399 --> 00:34:27,776
<i>the Catholic church</i>
<i>would be considered Christian,</i>

496

<i>but the Jews would be asked to leave.</i>

497
00:34:31,738 --> 00:34:34,032
As Davis lay on his death bed,

498
00:34:34,116 --> 00:34:38,245
he literally pleaded with the Congress
to revoke the act.

499
00:34:38,328 --> 00:34:41,832
He reminded them of
the gallant work of his Secretary of State,

500
00:34:41,915 --> 00:34:45,127
Judah P. Benjamin, and other Jews
who had supported the Confederacy.

501
00:34:45,169 --> 00:34:50,048
When young Congressman
John Ambrose Fauntroy II

502
00:34:50,132 --> 00:34:52,301
visited the dyin' man,

503
00:34:52,384 --> 00:34:55,637
Fauntroy made the mistake
of asserting to Davis

504
00:34:55,721 --> 00:35:01,518
that the nation would be better off
without those "blood-sucking Jews."

505
00:35:02,811 --> 00:35:07,274
Davis, for his part,
reached out with a frail hand

506
00:35:07,357 --> 00:35:12,321
and grabbed young Fauntroy
by the collar and fairly hissed,

507
00:35:12,404 --> 00:35:15,282
"Don't you ever forget, sir,

508
00:35:15,365 --> 00:35:19,536
that it was a blood-suckin' Jew
who saved this country."

509
00:35:21,622 --> 00:35:25,042
Well, Benjamin was
personally hurt by the act.

510
00:35:25,125 --> 00:35:30,214
But the death of Davis did create
a provision allowing a small number of Jews

511
00:35:30,297 --> 00:35:33,759
to remain on the reservation
here on Long Island.

512
00:35:33,842 --> 00:35:36,762
NARRATOR: "While blacks"
<i>were gaining political support in Canada,</i>

513
00:35:36,845 --> 00:35:41,850

JOHNSON:
Novelists during Reconstruction

516
00:35:48,482 --> 00:35:51,360
mended the divide
between the two regions.

517
00:35:51,401 --> 00:35:56,031
In their books, the aims and causes
of the war suddenly changed.

518
00:35:56,114 --> 00:35:59,493
Slavery is no longer mentioned
as the cause of the war.

519
00:35:59,576 --> 00:36:02,538
This is key to reconciliation.

520
00:36:02,579 --> 00:36:05,499
Thus the suffering of slaves is ignored.

521
00:36:05,582 --> 00:36:09,002
We are presented with only
loyal black servants.

522
00:36:09,086 --> 00:36:12,589
However, the courage
and sacrifice of whites

523
00:36:12,673 --> 00:36:16,927
on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line
is romantically examined.

524
00:36:17,010 --> 00:36:21,515
They struggle to survive,
they protect their homes and families.

525
00:36:21,598 --> 00:36:24,893
General and battlefields
take on a new flair.

526
00:36:24,935 --> 00:36:28,814
The smallest details
become dramatically important.

527
00:36:28,897 --> 00:36:33,569
In best-sellers like "My Union Soldier"
and "Of Bells and Blue"

528
00:36:33,652 --> 00:36:36,530
Southerners are taught
to pity the North,

529
00:36:36,613 --> 00:36:39,575
to cry for the lost cause
of the Union,

530
00:36:39,658 --> 00:36:42,661
the misguided attempt
to free the slaves.

531
00:36:42,744 --> 00:36:45,789
Northerners are presented
as a valiant people

532
00:36:45,873 --> 00:36:51,170
who once ruled a mighty land
that simply lost its way.

NARRATOR: "The most popular of"

When my husband died at Antitem,
I said I'd die... I'd just die!

Before I'd even speak
to another Yankee.

545
00:37:30,083 --> 00:37:33,045
But you...

546
00:37:33,128 --> 00:37:35,756
you have had an effect on me, sir.

547
00:37:37,508 --> 00:37:40,427
I shall never... never!...be the same.

548
00:37:41,428 --> 00:37:43,347
- I must go.
- No!

549
00:37:45,015 --> 00:37:49,228
Who are you, my little soldier blue

550
00:37:49,311 --> 00:37:51,605
And though I hate you so

551
00:37:51,688 --> 00:37:54,983
I will never let you go

552

You tried to take my blacks

553

I tried to take your blacks

00:38:02,366 --> 00:38:04,785
But I must

555
00:38:04,868 --> 00:38:08,372
Have you back

556
00:38:08,997 --> 00:38:12,668
For we are lovers

557
00:38:12,751 --> 00:38:16,129
We are lovers

were organized along
grand antebellum lines

593
00:40:33,976 --> 00:40:37,855
with marvelous slave-based
plantation economies.

594
00:40:37,938 --> 00:40:41,149
Of course, only white people
could hold Nigra slaves.

595
00:40:41,191 --> 00:40:47,030
But in Mexico, the Mexicans themselves
were never subjected to slavery as such.

596
00:40:47,114 --> 00:40:51,952
There they have a system
that was implemented called "Apart"

597
00:40:52,035 --> 00:40:56,164
which separated the Mexican people
from the white Americans

598
00:40:56,248 --> 00:40:58,709
who now rule the country.

599
00:40:58,792 --> 00:41:04,173
This system of apartness
effectively created two worlds:

600
00:41:04,256 --> 00:41:08,385
One white and the other Mexican,

601
00:41:08,468 --> 00:41:11,513
separate and unequal.

602
00:41:11,597 --> 00:41:15,767
The system did have the advantage
of allowin' the Mexicans

603
00:41:15,851 --> 00:41:20,689
the convenience of knowing their place
and staying in it.

604
00:41:20,731 --> 00:41:24,067
(speaking Spanish)

605
00:41:54,264 --> 00:41:56,433
NARRATOR:
<i>Confederate leadership</i>

606
00:41:56,517 --> 00:42:00,354
<i>saw the conquest of South America</i>
<i>as its prize piece.</i>

607
00:42:00,437 --> 00:42:05,234
<i>Conquering a huge land mass</i>
<i>would make it a true empire.</i>

608
00:42:48,652 --> 00:42:50,863
The critical mistake
Confederate leaders made

609
00:42:50,946 --> 00:42:54,783
was in underestimating
the will of the South American people

610
00:42:54,825 --> 00:42:56,869
to remain free.

611
00:42:56,952 --> 00:43:01,623
HOYLE: Our boys hadn't died in such
large numbers since the Civil War.

612
00:43:01,665 --> 00:43:05,586
I recall a story of a young boy
lying in a hospital,

613
00:43:05,669 --> 00:43:09,423
having lost both his legs
in the jungles of Guatemala.

614
00:43:09,506 --> 00:43:13,051
And one day when a general
was visiting the wounded,

615
00:43:13,135 --> 00:43:15,762
he stopped by the boy's bed
and the young man,

616
00:43:15,846 --> 00:43:17,639
disillusioned that he was,

617
00:43:17,723 --> 00:43:21,435
rather plaintively looked up
at the general and said, "Why, General?"

618
00:43:21,518 --> 00:43:24,980
And the general looked at
the young man and said,

619
00:43:25,063 --> 00:43:29,651
"Son, it's because
we are Americans."

620
00:43:29,735 --> 00:43:31,778
NARRATOR: "The high"
<i>personal cost of the expansion</i>

621
00:43:31,862 --> 00:43:34,740
<i>was the subject of</i>
<i>the 1940 award-winning film</i>

622
00:43:34,823 --> 00:43:36,783
<i>"The Dark Jungle."</i>

623
00:43:36,867 --> 00:43:38,285
Have you heard?

624
00:43:40,037 --> 00:43:41,747
It's on the table, Sergeant.

625
00:43:48,504 --> 00:43:49,880
All of 'em?

626
00:43:52,799 --> 00:43:55,135
Every single last one of 'em.

627
00:43:57,554 --> 00:43:59,765
Good Lord!

628
00:44:07,689 --> 00:44:09,983
Was it worth it, Sergeant?

629
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,571
Was it worth the lives of Cliff...

630
00:44:14,655 --> 00:44:17,533
and Johnny... and Biff?

631
00:44:19,409 --> 00:44:21,703
My God, man!

632
00:44:21,745 --> 00:44:26,333
There's a whole world
of red and black and brown and yellow...

633
00:44:30,629 --> 00:44:32,965
They'll always outnumber us.

634
00:44:35,259 --> 00:44:36,969
Lieutenant.

635
00:44:38,303 --> 00:44:42,349
I don't know much, but I know this:

636
00:44:42,432 --> 00:44:47,813
This world is made for the God-fearing
to use as we see fit.

637
00:44:47,896 --> 00:44:50,899
For a while these savages
call it theirs,

638
00:44:50,983 --> 00:44:53,235
but they're just rentin' it.

639
00:44:53,318 --> 00:44:55,112
It's ours!

640
00:44:55,195 --> 00:44:58,073
It was "always" ours.

641
00:44:58,156 --> 00:45:01,076
We just ain't claimed it all...

642
00:45:01,118 --> 00:45:02,995
yet.

643
00:45:04,538 --> 00:45:06,081
Kill 'em all!

644
00:45:07,791 --> 00:45:10,210
And let God sort 'em out.

645
00:45:21,471 --> 00:45:24,016
The costly victory in South America

646
00:45:24,099 --> 00:45:27,603
instilled an even deeper belief
in Manifest Destiny.

647
00:45:27,686 --> 00:45:31,315
They now truly believed they were
on a divinely ordained quest

648
00:45:31,398 --> 00:45:33,609
for world domination.

649
00:45:39,823 --> 00:45:43,452
Viola, honey, I just saw your slave
runnin' off down the street!

650
00:45:43,535 --> 00:45:46,038
- Hurry! Call the police!
- No problem!

651
00:45:46,121 --> 00:45:48,957
No problem? Aren't you
afraid he'll get away?

652
00:45:48,999 --> 00:45:52,127
Heavens, no!
Not with The Shackle.

653
00:45:52,211 --> 00:45:54,254
VOICEOVER:
<i>Introducing The Shackle!</i>

<i>Made of lightweight</i>
<i>aluminum alloys,</i>

662
00:46:17,444 --> 00:46:20,447
<i>The Shackle won't weight your uncle down</i>
<i>like old-fashioned chains.</i>

663
00:46:20,531 --> 00:46:21,490
<i>And it's tough!</i>

664
00:46:21,573 --> 00:46:24,785
<i>The Shackle will stand up to</i>

<i>Get The Shackle!</i>

669
00:46:36,213 --> 00:46:40,759
- Aren't you going to stay for coffee?
- Can't! Gotta get The Shackle.

670
00:46:40,843 --> 00:46:43,512
<i>Have your credit card ready</i>

00:46:48,517 --> 00:46:50,018
<i>Operators are standing by.</i>

674
00:46:52,062 --> 00:46:55,315
At the Coon Chicken Inn,
we aim to please.

675
00:46:55,399 --> 00:46:59,611
The best 100o/o Mammy-made

676
00:46:59,695 --> 00:47:03,115
You can taste the love!

677
00:47:03,198 --> 00:47:05,200
I like the white meat.

678
00:47:05,284 --> 00:47:06,827
I'm a breast man.

679
00:47:07,911 --> 00:47:09,872
We just love it here.

680
00:47:09,955 --> 00:47:13,959
You just keep hollerin'...
"Gal, fetch me some mo'!"

681

NARRATOR: "By 1929,"

<i>Mexico, Central America,</i>

<i>South American, Haiti</i>

<i>However, the quick expansion</i>

688
00:47:44,156 --> 00:47:47,367
<i>The Wall Street crash</i>
<i>would devastate the financial community.</i>

689
00:47:47,451 --> 00:47:50,412
<i>People lost entire fortunes overnight.</i>

690

<i>The nation retreated into isolationism</i>

692
00:47:56,043 --> 00:48:01,298
Grandfather taught us that
when you're caught in a dire situation,

00:48:01,381 --> 00:48:03,842
when you're cornered,

694
00:48:03,926 --> 00:48:07,471
you don't simply fall on your sword.

695

<i>capturing and training slaves</i>

711

<i>Some slaves were chosen domestically</i>

<i>but traditional African slaves</i>

713
00:49:00,274 --> 00:49:03,652
JOHNSON: The selling of
the American way elevated the C.S.A.

714
00:49:03,694 --> 00:49:05,821
Out of the depression.

715
00:49:05,863 --> 00:49:11,660
This was made possible through
the... cooperation of African leaders.

716
00:49:18,417 --> 00:49:22,045
Africa is a strange
and backward continent.

717
00:49:22,129 --> 00:49:26,633
The world must understand
that captivity is good for the African.

718

He's better off with you

719
00:49:30,137 --> 00:49:34,308
We only secure and trade

720
00:49:34,391 --> 00:49:38,270
only those with whom
we have longstanding conflicts.

721
00:49:38,353 --> 00:49:41,190
Of course, we have conflicts
with most tribes.

00:49:41,273 --> 00:49:43,984
(laughter)

723
00:49:44,067 --> 00:49:46,153

They leave us alone.

726
00:49:51,658 --> 00:49:56,079
They believe in democracy,
and so do we.

727
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:01,376
Critics often wonder how
Africans involved in the trade

728
00:50:01,460 --> 00:50:04,505
can market other black people.

729
00:50:04,588 --> 00:50:08,300
They say, "You should stick together.

730

You are human beings,
and you should help one another."

To this, I simply must say, "No."

732

Capitalism is no respecter of persons.

733

There's simply too much to be gained.

734
00:50:23,690 --> 00:50:25,567
A good chief,

735
00:50:25,609 --> 00:50:30,489
like a good congressman,
senator, or president,

736

746
00:51:02,229 --> 00:51:04,648
<i>touring the boroughs</i>
<i>of New York City.</i>

747
00:51:04,731 --> 00:51:06,984
<i>Although protested</i>
<i>by Jewish Americans,</i>

748
00:51:07,067 --> 00:51:09,152
<i>the trip was a resounding success.</i>

749
00:51:09,236 --> 00:51:12,948
<i>In Washington, Hitler proposed</i>
<i>that America join with him</i>

750
00:51:12,990 --> 00:51:17,452
<i>in a final solution to the problem</i>
<i>of inferior races.</i>

751
00:51:17,536 --> 00:51:20,747
<i>Hitler's plan was to</i>
<i>exterminate the Jews of Europe</i>

752
00:51:20,831 --> 00:51:23,584
<i>and create a pure Aryan continent.</i>

753
00:51:23,667 --> 00:51:27,421
<i>Secretary of State</i>
<i>John Ambrose Fauntroy III</i>

754
00:51:27,504 --> 00:51:31,675
<i>responded by suggesting that</i>
<i>Germany not exterminate Jewish citizens,</i>

755
00:51:31,758 --> 00:51:36,638
<i>but instead use them</i>
<i>as a productive slave labor force.</i>

756
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:41,685
<i>Taking Hitler on a tour of American</i>
<i>slave labor plantations and factories,</i>

757
00:51:41,768 --> 00:51:44,980
<i>Fauntroy and Hitler</i>
<i>discussed the possibilities.</i>

758
00:51:45,022 --> 00:51:47,566
<i>No agreement was reached,</i>

759
00:51:47,649 --> 00:51:50,611
<i>but Secretary Fauntroy</i>
<i>made it clear the C.S.</i>

760
00:51:50,694 --> 00:51:53,655
<i>Felt it immoral to waste</i>
<i>human livestock,</i>

761
00:51:53,739 --> 00:51:56,742
<i>but promised not to intervene</i>
<i>in any military conflict</i>

762
00:51:56,825 --> 00:51:58,952
<i>Germany had with its neighbors.</i>

763
00:51:59,036 --> 00:52:00,829
"America" did "have a new enemy."

764
00:52:00,913 --> 00:52:03,332
<i>Japan had become expansionist,</i>

765
00:52:03,415 --> 00:52:06,376
<i>assembling a large military force.</i>

766
00:52:06,460 --> 00:52:10,756
<i>For the C.S.A., they posed a threat</i>
<i>to the entire Pacific region.</i>

767
00:52:10,839 --> 00:52:14,301
<i>The Confederate States would act.</i>

768
00:52:14,384 --> 00:52:17,804
<i>On the morning of December 7th, 1941,</i>

769
00:52:17,888 --> 00:52:22,267
<i>America struck Japan</i>
<i>in a devastating surprise attack.</i>

770
00:52:22,351 --> 00:52:23,977
<i>The air base on the Kuril Islands,</i>

771
00:52:24,061 --> 00:52:27,481
<i>the Japanese naval fleet</i>
<i>anchored in Tokyo Bay,</i>

772
00:52:27,564 --> 00:52:30,943
<i>and the former capital of Kyoto</i>
<i>were all heavily damaged</i>

773
00:52:31,026 --> 00:52:32,319
<i>by Confederate bombers.</i>

774
00:52:32,402 --> 00:52:35,447
<i>The war with Japan had begun.</i>

775
00:52:35,531 --> 00:52:39,034
Because the Japanese people
were small in physical stature,

776
00:52:39,117 --> 00:52:43,288
and non-white, Confederate leaders
dismissed them as weak.

777
00:52:43,372 --> 00:52:47,417
Once again, they underestimated
the will of a foreign power.

778
00:52:47,501 --> 00:52:51,088
They would find out
just how weak they were.

779
00:52:51,171 --> 00:52:53,882
NARRATOR: "So many men"
<i>were dying in the war</i>

780
00:52:53,966 --> 00:52:57,761
<i>that Confederate leaders</i>
<i>turned to their slaves for assistance.</i>

781
00:52:57,845 --> 00:53:01,932
<i>The first to volunteer</i>
<i>were West Coast enslaved Japanese</i>

782
00:53:02,015 --> 00:53:06,812
<i>anxious to prove their loyalty</i>
<i>and perhaps gain their freedom.</i>

783
00:53:06,895 --> 00:53:11,483
<i>However, Congress decided they</i>
<i>were sneaky and could not be trusted.</i>

784
00:53:11,567 --> 00:53:13,902
<i>They were banned from service.</i>

785
00:53:13,944 --> 00:53:17,906
<i>A regiment of slaves,</i>
<i>the 129th Fighting Bucks,</i>

786
00:53:17,990 --> 00:53:21,243
<i>were leased by their owners</i>
<i>to the Confederate armed forces</i>

787
00:53:21,285 --> 00:53:23,203
<i>to serve in combat.</i>

788
00:53:23,287 --> 00:53:26,206
<i>The slaves were promised their freedom</i>
<i>if they would fight.</i>

789
00:53:26,290 --> 00:53:29,668
JOHNSON: The men of the 129th
fought with distinction and courage.

790
00:53:29,751 --> 00:53:32,588
They were given
the most dangerous missions,

791
00:53:32,671 --> 00:53:34,840
and casualties were very high.

792
00:53:34,923 --> 00:53:38,760
But they earned the respect
of their Confederate officers.

793
00:53:38,844 --> 00:53:42,014
Even after suffering
such tremendous losses,

794
00:53:42,097 --> 00:53:45,100
the Japanese forces still
would just not surrender.

795
00:53:45,184 --> 00:53:48,103
And then, by the grace of God,
we developed a weapon

796
00:53:48,145 --> 00:53:53,150
that would put the entire
foreign world of coloreds in their place.

797
00:53:54,276 --> 00:53:55,819
NARRATOR:
<i>The war was over,</i>

798
00:53:55,903 --> 00:53:58,572

800
00:54:03,243 --> 00:54:05,954
<i>were returned to their masters</i>

801
00:54:05,996 --> 00:54:08,916
<i>No explanation was given.</i>

802
00:54:15,881 --> 00:54:20,511
Servant etiquette and proper table linens
for formal dinner parties,

803
00:54:20,594 --> 00:54:22,971
how to be the belle of the ball,

804
00:54:23,013 --> 00:54:26,266
and what to look for
when buying a Chinese gardener.

VOICEOVER:
<i>Are you a slave to housework?</i>

NARRATOR: "In 1950,"

821
00:55:35,419 --> 00:55:39,464
<i>the Confederate States were enjoying</i>
<i>a period of domestic tranquility.</i>

<i>the J.B.U. employed</i>
<i>any means necessary.</i>

831
00:56:11,413 --> 00:56:14,583
The J.B.U. were terrorists,
pure and simple,

832
00:56:14,666 --> 00:56:18,086
bent on the destruction of
the nation of the Confederacy.

833
00:56:18,128 --> 00:56:23,175
What is terrorism to one
is patriotism to another.

<i>Prime Minster Saint Laurent refused.</i>

839
00:56:41,276 --> 00:56:44,738
Canadian abolitionism had now

to the Confederate way of life.

841

Beware of the abolitionists'

Keep your eyes open.

848

00:57:57,060 --> 00:57:59,438
That's not it.

858
00:57:59,521 --> 00:58:03,317
Then are you sick, dear?
Do we need to see a doctor?

859
00:58:05,068 --> 00:58:08,030
I don't know what to do!
Talk to me!

860

The success of the embargo

894
01:00:32,758 --> 01:00:37,679
would lead many to
quietly question, "Is it worth it?"

895
01:00:44,436 --> 01:00:46,688
VOICEOVER:
<i>Fall out here...</i>

896
01:00:46,772 --> 01:00:50,108
<i>means more than</i>
<i>corralling a young buck.</i>

897
01:00:50,192 --> 01:00:54,446
<i>It's a time of crisp, clean</i>
<i>morning air</i>

898
01:00:54,530 --> 01:00:58,492
<i>and the sound</i>
<i>of a thundering stampede.</i>

899
01:00:59,535 --> 01:01:03,872
<i>It's a time when horses</i>
<i>come down from the high pasture</i>

900
01:01:03,914 --> 01:01:08,794
<i>and a man prepares</i>
<i>for another tough winter.</i>

901
01:01:10,254 --> 01:01:12,214
<i>It's time...</i>

902
01:01:12,297 --> 01:01:14,716
<i>for a Niggerhair.</i>

903
01:01:26,687 --> 01:01:28,564
The candidates
need no introduction.

904
01:01:28,647 --> 01:01:31,567
The Democratic candidate,
Vice President Richard M. Nixon

905
01:01:31,608 --> 01:01:34,528
and the Republican candidate,
Senator John F. Kennedy.

906
01:01:34,570 --> 01:01:38,866
And now for the first opening statement
by Senator John F. Kennedy.

907
01:01:42,703 --> 01:01:46,290
In the election of 1960,
and with the world around us,

908
01:01:46,373 --> 01:01:51,378
the question is whether the world will exist
half-slave or half-free,

909
01:01:51,461 --> 01:01:54,047
whether it will move
in the direction of freedom,

910
01:01:54,131 --> 01:01:56,425
in the direction of the road
that we are taking,

911
01:01:56,508 --> 01:01:58,552
or whether it will move
in the direction of slavery.

912
01:01:58,635 --> 01:02:02,097
If we do well here,
if we meet our obligations,

913
01:02:02,139 --> 01:02:03,724
if we're moving ahead,

914
01:02:03,765 --> 01:02:06,268
then I think freedom will be
secure around the world.

915
01:02:06,310 --> 01:02:08,854
If we fail, then freedom fails.

916
01:02:08,937 --> 01:02:11,648
It was what many had predicted
of an Irish Catholic,

917
01:02:11,732 --> 01:02:13,609
and a Northerner, to boot.

918
01:02:13,692 --> 01:02:16,528
Critics had called Kennedy
a black Republican, obviously,

919
01:02:16,612 --> 01:02:18,572
bringing up the image
of Abraham Lincoln

920
01:02:18,614 --> 01:02:21,325
and the abolitionists of the past.

921
01:02:21,408 --> 01:02:24,453
Slaves knew Kennedy
was sympathetic to their plight.

922
01:02:24,536 --> 01:02:27,706
He could not directly come out
and advocate its end,

923
01:02:27,789 --> 01:02:30,459
but everyone knew that
if the opportunity arose,

924
01:02:30,542 --> 01:02:32,586
Kennedy would emancipate.

925
01:02:33,921 --> 01:02:35,506
NARRATOR:
<i>It was 1960.</i>

926
01:02:35,589 --> 01:02:37,508
<i>President-elect Kennedy,</i>

927
01:02:37,591 --> 01:02:39,593
<i>the youngest leader</i>
<i>in American history</i>

928
01:02:39,676 --> 01:02:43,639
<i>and the first president from the North</i>
<i>since the war of Northern aggression,</i>

929
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,767
<i>would dramatically alter</i>
<i>the direction of the country...</i>

930
01:02:46,808 --> 01:02:50,521
<i>what Kennedy termed</i>
<i>a New Frontier.</i>

931
01:02:52,147 --> 01:02:56,818
Polls indicated that only 29o/o of
the population now favored slavery,

932
01:02:56,860 --> 01:02:58,820
the lowest figures ever.

933
01:02:58,862 --> 01:03:02,115
Kennedy, young, intelligent,
and too clever by half,

934
01:03:02,157 --> 01:03:03,992
symbolized this.

935
01:03:04,076 --> 01:03:08,872
He had skillfully managed to put
a handsome face on emancipation.

936
01:03:08,956 --> 01:03:11,416
NARRATOR:
<i>However, Kennedy,</i>

937
01:03:11,500 --> 01:03:13,961
<i>distracted by</i>
<i>the cold war with Canada</i>

938
01:03:14,002 --> 01:03:17,130
<i>and an expansionist campaign</i>
<i>in Southeast Asia,</i>

939
01:03:17,214 --> 01:03:22,052
<i>had little time to address the</i>
<i>revolutionary social changes at home.</i>

940
01:03:22,135 --> 01:03:26,139
Woman now demanded an end
to the sexual relations

941
01:03:26,223 --> 01:03:29,476
between their master husbands
and their female slaves.

942
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,479
For generations,
they had tolerated these unions

943
01:03:32,563 --> 01:03:35,023
and the slave children
they produced.

944
01:03:35,065 --> 01:03:39,903
Fully fifty years after the efforts
of Susan B. Anthony,

945
01:03:39,987 --> 01:03:43,699
women now wanted control
over their lives.

946
01:03:43,740 --> 01:03:46,702
We are not frail, simple-minded pets!

947
01:03:46,785 --> 01:03:50,205
We are more... much, much more.

948
01:03:50,289 --> 01:03:52,124
We demand the right to be women...

949
01:03:52,207 --> 01:03:55,377
women with a future,
women with the vote.

950
01:03:55,419 --> 01:03:56,837
NARRATOR:
<i>Confederate teenagers</i>

951
01:03:56,879 --> 01:04:00,007
<i>were being influenced by</i>
<i>the beat of Negro rock 'n' roll</i>

952
01:04:00,048 --> 01:04:03,010
<i>blasting across the Cotton Curtain</i>
<i>from Canada.</i>

953
01:04:03,051 --> 01:04:05,053
<i>Free to express themselves,</i>

954
01:04:05,137 --> 01:04:08,140
<i>former slaves</i>
<i>enriched Canadian culture.</i>

955
01:04:08,223 --> 01:04:11,643
<i>Performers like Elvis Presley</i>
<i>imitated black artists</i>

956
01:04:11,727 --> 01:04:13,604
<i>and were censored and arrested.</i>

957
01:04:13,687 --> 01:04:17,649
MAN: This Elvis Presley
and this Canadian

958
01:04:17,733 --> 01:04:21,486
abolitionist-inspired
rock 'n' roll music

959
01:04:21,570 --> 01:04:25,782
threatens to deflower
every pure white child

960
01:04:25,866 --> 01:04:28,744
in this great country of ours.

961
01:04:28,827 --> 01:04:31,205
NARRATOR: "Many, like Presley,"
<i>took their talents north</i>

962
01:04:31,246 --> 01:04:33,373
<i>and became stars in Canada.</i>

963
01:04:33,457 --> 01:04:36,919
<i>Canadian writers like Richard Wright</i>
<i>and James Baldwin</i>

964
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,630
<i>created masterworks of literature.</i>

965
01:04:39,713 --> 01:04:42,591
The ban on race music,
literature, and art

966
01:04:42,674 --> 01:04:44,635
stifled American creativity.

967
01:04:44,718 --> 01:04:49,431
Prohibition of certain abolitionist
and Negro-inspired art

968
01:04:49,515 --> 01:04:53,560
left Confederate culture void
and without conscience.

969
01:04:53,644 --> 01:04:59,441
American art never evolved beyond
government-inspired propaganda.

970
01:04:59,525 --> 01:05:02,277
NARRATOR: "Negroes,"
<i>afforded equal education,</i>

971
01:05:02,319 --> 01:05:05,781
<i>excelled in all areas</i>
<i>of Canadian life.</i>

972
01:05:05,822 --> 01:05:07,407
<i>In the world of sports,</i>

973
01:05:07,491 --> 01:05:11,912
<i>they helped Canada to consistently</i>
<i>defeat America in the Olympic Games,</i>

974
01:05:11,954 --> 01:05:14,331
<i>winning hundreds of gold medals.</i>

975
01:05:14,414 --> 01:05:17,543
<i>After seeing great black athletes</i>
<i>in the Olympics,</i>

976
01:05:17,626 --> 01:05:21,797
<i>some Confederates pondered</i>
<i>the inclusion of slaves in sport.</i>

977
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:25,133
<i>In the first annual C.S.F.L.</i>
<i>Championship game,</i>

978
01:05:25,175 --> 01:05:27,427
<i>two all-white teams,</i>

979
01:05:27,511 --> 01:05:30,472
<i>the Washington Indians</i>
<i>and the New York Niggers,</i>

980
01:05:30,514 --> 01:05:35,143
<i>illustrated the call to break</i>
<i>the color barrier and emancipate.</i>

981
01:05:35,227 --> 01:05:37,354
KENNEDY:
<i>One hundred years ago today,</i>

982
01:05:37,437 --> 01:05:41,233
<i>Abraham Lincoln signed</i>
<i>the Emancipation Proclamation.</i>

983
01:05:41,316 --> 01:05:45,320
<i>He thereby began the process</i>
<i>to fulfill finally</i>

984
01:05:45,404 --> 01:05:49,157
<i>the promises of</i>
<i>the Declaration of Independence.</i>

985
01:05:49,199 --> 01:05:53,120
<i>The century since has seen</i>
<i>the struggle to convert freedom</i>

986
01:05:53,161 --> 01:05:56,331
<i>from rhetoric to reality.</i>

987
01:05:56,415 --> 01:05:59,793
<i>It has been in many respects</i>
<i>a somber story,</i>

988
01:05:59,835 --> 01:06:02,921
<i>and the task is not finished.</i>

989
01:06:03,005 --> 01:06:08,594
<i>Much remains to be done to eradicate</i>
<i>the evil of human slavery.</i>

990
01:06:08,677 --> 01:06:13,932
<i>The Proclamation must be regarded</i>
<i>not as an end, but a beginning.</i>

991
01:06:14,016 --> 01:06:19,188
<i>In giving freedom to the slave,</i>
<i>we assure freedom to the free.</i>

992
01:06:19,271 --> 01:06:23,108
<i>In giving rights to others</i>
<i>which belong to them,</i>

993
01:06:23,192 --> 01:06:27,654
<i>we give rights to ourselves</i>
<i>and to our country.</i>

994
01:06:27,738 --> 01:06:29,823
JOHNSON:
The president's assassination

995
01:06:29,907 --> 01:06:33,493
drained the lifeblood
from the entire nation.

996
01:06:33,535 --> 01:06:37,748
The belief some white citizens had
for a new America was gone,

997
01:06:37,831 --> 01:06:40,209
women would not get the vote,

998
01:06:40,292 --> 01:06:45,047
the hope slaves had for their freedom
exploded into rage.

999
01:06:47,174 --> 01:06:49,259
NARRATOR:
<i>Two major slave rebellions,</i>

1000
01:06:49,343 --> 01:06:52,346
<i>one in the Los Angeles, California,</i>
<i>section of Watts</i>

1001
01:06:52,387 --> 01:06:54,723
<i>and the other in Newark, New Jersey,</i>

1002
01:06:54,806 --> 01:06:59,394
<i>caused strong but divided reactions</i>
<i>from Confederate lawmakers.</i>

1003
01:06:59,478 --> 01:07:03,607
MAN: "In the wake of our late president,"
<i>our nation is at a crossroads.</i>

1004
01:07:03,690 --> 01:07:07,861
We must ask the question:
Is slaveocracy the only way?

1005
01:07:07,903 --> 01:07:09,738
Like most owners,

1006
01:07:09,821 --> 01:07:13,659
I love my servants,
and hate when I have to punish them.

1007
01:07:13,742 --> 01:07:16,620
My wife and my children hate it.

1008
01:07:16,703 --> 01:07:19,873
The young people of this country
hate it.

1009
01:07:19,915 --> 01:07:23,043
It is time for change.

1010
01:07:23,085 --> 01:07:27,172
We have to stop pussyfooting around!
We have a war going on in Vietnam

1011
01:07:27,256 --> 01:07:30,092
and another one erupting
right here in our own country.

1012
01:07:30,133 --> 01:07:32,761
Unless we plan on losing
both these wars,

1013
01:07:32,845 --> 01:07:35,848
we better stop crying
for these gooks and these darkies

1014
01:07:35,931 --> 01:07:38,100
and lay the hammer down!

1015
01:07:38,183 --> 01:07:40,018
We have never lost a war,

1016
01:07:40,102 --> 01:07:43,188
and by God,
I'm not about to lose this one!

1017
01:07:43,272 --> 01:07:44,731
NARRATOR:
<i>By the mid-1970s,</i>

1018
01:07:44,815 --> 01:07:47,276
<i>the social revolution</i>
<i>had been crushed.</i>

1019
01:07:47,317 --> 01:07:49,570
<i>Most of the opposition leaders</i>
<i>fled the country,</i>

1020
01:07:49,611 --> 01:07:51,446
<i>went into hiding,</i>
<i>or were killed.</i>

1021
01:07:51,530 --> 01:07:55,450
The nation seemed to be caught up
in some kind of malaise.

1022
01:07:55,492 --> 01:07:57,995
Many feared that we were
crumbling from within

1023
01:07:58,078 --> 01:08:02,791
and that the best years
of the Confederate States of America

1024
01:08:02,833 --> 01:08:05,252
were behind us.

1025
01:08:13,969 --> 01:08:17,264
This is Newsbreak.
I'm Jeb Boone.

1026
01:08:17,306 --> 01:08:20,142
Confederate Express,
the nation's leading shipper,

1027
01:08:20,184 --> 01:08:23,270
issued a warning today that
house servants are using the service

1028
01:08:23,353 --> 01:08:26,940
to, in their words,
"overnight themselves to freedom."

1029
01:08:27,024 --> 01:08:29,651
There was this one fella
shipped his whole family,

1030
01:08:29,735 --> 01:08:33,655
wife and two kids, up north in a box
labeled "home entertainment center."

1031
01:08:33,697 --> 01:08:37,242
Another big tip: Check for air holes.

1032
01:08:37,326 --> 01:08:39,286
Back after this.

1033
01:08:44,791 --> 01:08:47,461
VOICEOVER:
<i>These...</i>

1034
01:08:47,503 --> 01:08:51,507
<i>are the faces...</i>

1035
01:08:51,590 --> 01:08:54,468
<i>of Contrari.</i>

1036
01:08:56,011 --> 01:08:58,347
<i>With Contrari,</i>

1037
01:08:58,388 --> 01:09:01,099
<i>one little blue pill</i>

1038

<i>gives all-day control.</i>

1039

<i>Side effects may include</i>
<i>vomiting, shortness of breath,</i>

01:09:08,649 --> 01:09:11,985
<i>nausea, blurred vision,</i>
<i>liver and kidney problems,</i>

<i>Contrari has been known</i>

<i>Ask your veterinarian</i>
<i>about Contrari today.</i>

1047
01:09:33,590 --> 01:09:37,010
Officials in Washington suggested
charges may be filed

1048
01:09:37,052 --> 01:09:41,014
following several controversial errors
in the Department of Racial Identity.

1049
01:09:41,098 --> 01:09:43,517
The watchdog group Proven White

1050
01:09:43,559 --> 01:09:46,144
charged that DNA mistakes
are commonplace

1051
01:09:46,228 --> 01:09:48,939
and that many people
don't know who they are.

1052
01:09:50,023 --> 01:09:53,735
The search for Big Sam
expanded to the Chicago area today.

1053
01:09:53,819 --> 01:09:57,823
The runaway remains number one
on the C.B.I.'s most wanted list.

1054
01:09:57,906 --> 01:10:01,952
A spokesmen for the bureau indicated
of all the crimes over two years old,

1055
01:10:02,035 --> 01:10:05,205
Big Sam is still believed
the J.B.U. mastermind

1056
01:10:05,247 --> 01:10:08,417
behind the now-infamous
"One Drop" scandal.

1057
01:10:10,085 --> 01:10:13,255
And on a program note,
be sure to stay tuned

1058
01:10:13,338 --> 01:10:16,884
for the live death row execution
of Floyd Ray Hubbard.

1059
01:10:16,967 --> 01:10:20,012
Now, that's at 12:00,
11:00 Central.

1060
01:10:20,095 --> 01:10:21,638

Delilah has just learned
that Ike is planning to escape.

1078
01:11:42,761 --> 01:11:45,848
Escape attempts are costly

Doesn't he know

1083

Don't be afraid to learn more.

Be "Massa's" ear.

1085

Is he still talkin' that abolition talk?

1086
01:12:07,286 --> 01:12:11,707
Bingo. Delilah has discovered
that Ike's mind ain't right.

1087
01:12:11,790 --> 01:12:13,750
Critical information.

Delilah's next move?
Go tell it.

Let's talk slaves.

1115
01:13:34,206 --> 01:13:36,750
For the next hour
I am here with Joyce,

1116
01:13:36,792 --> 01:13:39,419
and she has brought us
some of the most incredible servants

1117
01:13:39,461 --> 01:13:41,296
- to pick from today.
- That's right, Paula.

1118
01:13:41,338 --> 01:13:43,298
We have forty
extraordinary Negroes

1119
01:13:43,382 --> 01:13:45,133
right off the tarmac,
waiting for you.

1120
01:13:45,217 --> 01:13:48,262
And I know one of them's just right
for you and your home.

1121
01:13:48,303 --> 01:13:52,224
So, let's start with Jupiter
and his family.

1122
01:13:52,307 --> 01:13:55,769
Now, Joyce, you say that
Jupiter's a buck for the '90s.

1123
01:13:55,853 --> 01:13:58,814
That's right, Paula.
Versatility is the key with Jupiter.

1124
01:13:58,897 --> 01:14:01,859
He's the perfect slave
for home, office, or industry.

1125
01:14:01,942 --> 01:14:04,778
He's healthy, adaptable,
and reliable.

1126
01:14:04,820 --> 01:14:06,572
Oh, and what about
our gal Prissy?

1127
01:14:06,655 --> 01:14:08,282
Oh, what a find!

1128
01:14:08,323 --> 01:14:12,160
Well-mannered, loyal,
smart, but not uppity.

1129
01:14:12,244 --> 01:14:15,914
Oh, and what a litter
of pick-a-ninnies she's had!

1130
01:14:15,998 --> 01:14:18,333
Aren't those the two
the cutest little things you ever saw?

1131
01:14:18,417 --> 01:14:20,460
They would be so helpful
around the yard

1132
01:14:20,544 --> 01:14:22,588
or with dinner parties!

1133
01:14:22,671 --> 01:14:25,799
Now, as with all SSN products,

1134
01:14:25,841 --> 01:14:28,468
we can either
break up Jupiter's family for you,

1135
01:14:28,552 --> 01:14:30,554
or you can have them as a set!

FAUNTROY V:
<i>A new generation of young people</i>

about owning Negroes.

1139
01:14:37,644 --> 01:14:41,523
The buying, trading, and selling
of servants on the Internet

1140
01:14:41,607 --> 01:14:45,527
has pumped over $500 million
into the economy.

1141
01:14:45,611 --> 01:14:49,948
Behind pornography,
it's the top-selling item on the Net.

1142
01:14:50,032 --> 01:14:55,162
The '80s and the early '90s
were more than a nostalgia trip.

1143
01:14:55,829 --> 01:14:59,208
We finally put
that tragic decade of self-doubt,

1144
01:14:59,291 --> 01:15:01,543
the 1960s, behind us.

1145
01:15:01,627 --> 01:15:06,340
I swear I never had seen
so many flags and yellow ribbons

1146
01:15:06,381 --> 01:15:09,843
as when our boys came home victorious
from the Persian Gulf.

1147
01:15:09,885 --> 01:15:12,679
We really whipped those A-rabs.

1148
01:15:12,721 --> 01:15:15,390
We won. That was enough.

1149

01:18:25,873 --> 01:18:30,294
Me and... me and Fauntroy...
we kin.

1193
01:18:32,254 --> 01:18:34,089
Related?

1194
01:18:35,090 --> 01:18:37,384
How? Fauntroy's "white."

1195
01:18:37,426 --> 01:18:40,804
Just 'cause he look white
don't mean he "all" white.

1196
01:18:42,556 --> 01:18:46,059
See, years ago,
when all this started...

1197
01:18:46,143 --> 01:18:49,813
they took the light ones
into the Fauntroy family

1198
01:18:49,897 --> 01:18:51,899
and "made" 'em white.

1199
01:18:52,941 --> 01:18:56,320
Us dark ones got cast out...

1200
01:18:56,403 --> 01:18:58,739
left for niggers.

1201
01:19:01,116 --> 01:19:03,994
He got the jungle blood.

1202
01:19:04,077 --> 01:19:06,622
Believe me, he got
the jungle blood in him.

1203
01:19:06,705 --> 01:19:08,749
And he know it, too.

1204
01:19:16,632 --> 01:19:19,051
NARRATOR:
<i>Following the release of that tape,</i>

1205
01:19:19,134 --> 01:19:20,844
<i>Fauntroy held a news conference</i>

1206
01:19:20,928 --> 01:19:24,473
<i>to respond to the charges</i>
<i>of "Negro-ness."</i>

1207
01:19:25,516 --> 01:19:28,101
These accusations
leveled against me...

1208
01:19:28,143 --> 01:19:30,896
by a slave, no less...
are false.

1209
01:19:30,979 --> 01:19:36,944
My great-granddaddy did not have
sexual relations with that woman!

1210
01:19:36,985 --> 01:19:39,905
I am one hundred percent
Caucasian.

1211
01:19:39,988 --> 01:19:41,865
One hundred percent.

1212
01:19:41,949 --> 01:19:44,326
REPORTER: Will you
submit to a DNA test?

1213
01:19:44,409 --> 01:19:47,204
No. No, I will not be subjected
to such treatment.

1214
01:19:47,287 --> 01:19:50,749
Nor will I allow my family
to be subjected to such ridicule.

1215
01:19:52,251 --> 01:19:53,669
REPORTER: Do you believe
the Republican Party

1216
01:19:53,752 --> 01:19:56,004
arranged for the slave
to make these allegations?

1217
01:19:56,046 --> 01:19:57,506
Certainly!

1218
01:19:57,548 --> 01:20:00,217
Look, this darkie is obviously
being used in an attempt

1219
01:20:00,300 --> 01:20:02,511
to derail my campaign.

1220
01:20:02,553 --> 01:20:04,346
Now, let me just say this.

1221
01:20:04,388 --> 01:20:08,517
The American people know
that John Ambrose Fauntroy

1222
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,103
has their best interests in mind.

1223
01:20:11,186 --> 01:20:13,522
They know me.
They know my family.

1224
01:20:13,605 --> 01:20:16,984
These dirty tricks
will "not" stop our message.

1225
01:20:17,025 --> 01:20:19,528
We will win in November!

1226
01:20:21,029 --> 01:20:22,322
REPORTER: Rumors
are circulating

1227
01:20:22,364 --> 01:20:26,660
that you may be called before
the House Committee on Racial Identity.

1228
01:20:26,702 --> 01:20:28,787
If subpoenaed,
will you appear?

1229
01:20:29,997 --> 01:20:32,249
Well, I, uh...

1230
01:20:32,332 --> 01:20:35,335
I'll just cross that bridge
when I... when I come to it.

1231
01:20:35,377 --> 01:20:36,503
Thank you.

1232
01:20:36,587 --> 01:20:39,006
NARRATOR:
<i>The racial allegation against Fauntroy</i>

1233
01:20:39,047 --> 01:20:42,676
<i>would cost him the election</i>
<i>in November.</i>

1234
01:20:42,718 --> 01:20:46,680
<i>On December 12th,</i>
"the body of John Ambrose Fauntroy V

1235
01:20:46,722 --> 01:20:50,851
<i>was found in the grounds</i>
<i>of his suburban Virginia estate.</i>

1236
01:20:50,934 --> 01:20:55,105
<i>The coroner attributed his death</i>
<i>to a self-inflicted gunshot wound</i>

1237
01:20:55,189 --> 01:20:57,065
<i>to the head.</i>

1238
01:20:57,900 --> 01:21:02,821
<i>DNA test results ordered by</i>
<i>the House Committee on Racial Identity</i>

1239
01:21:02,905 --> 01:21:05,157
<i>were released days later.</i>

1240
01:21:06,658 --> 01:21:09,912
<i>The results proved negative.</i>

1241
01:21:09,953 --> 01:21:11,872
FAUNTROY V:
I only wish that

1242
01:21:11,914 --> 01:21:15,542
our dear family friend
Chancellor Hitler

1243
01:21:15,626 --> 01:21:20,797
had lived to see how he
empowered his country.

1244
01:21:22,132 --> 01:21:25,219
Imagine... an America

1245
01:21:25,260 --> 01:21:28,263
where everyone has the same

1246
01:21:28,347 --> 01:21:32,476
deep, abiding pride
of Aryan birth.

1247
01:21:34,436 --> 01:21:37,481
I want to reclaim that heritage.

1248
01:21:37,564 --> 01:21:40,734
With America's help, we can.

1249
01:21:41,818 --> 01:21:43,987
JOHNSON:
No slavery in history

1250
01:21:44,071 --> 01:21:47,699
has been as devastating
as chattel slavery in the Americas.

1251
01:21:47,783 --> 01:21:50,410
Nowhere else were slaves taught

1252
01:21:50,452 --> 01:21:53,455
that they were not part
of the human family.

1253
01:21:53,539 --> 01:21:57,751
This has wounded the African
as nothing else could.

1254
01:21:57,793 --> 01:22:02,464
It still haunts slaves,
and former slaves, today.

1255
01:22:02,548 --> 01:22:07,010
It's important to remember
that our fond attachment to slavery

1256
01:22:07,094 --> 01:22:09,680
is not an economic necessity.

1257
01:22:09,763 --> 01:22:13,767
In fact, it's always been detrimental
to the Confederate economy

1258
01:22:13,851 --> 01:22:15,936
to hold slaves.

1259
01:22:15,978 --> 01:22:21,149
Yet slavery, like nothing else,
is what defines us,

1260
01:22:21,233 --> 01:22:24,987
shapes us as a people,
as a nation.

1261
01:22:25,028 --> 01:22:29,658
Owning a slave is
a constant reminder of who you are.

1262
01:22:29,741 --> 01:22:33,161
It strengthens our role
and responsibility

1263
01:22:33,245 --> 01:22:36,164
to be a leader in our homes,
in our families

1264
01:22:36,248 --> 01:22:38,000
and in our communities,

1265
01:22:38,041 --> 01:22:41,837
and to provide the leadership
as only a white man could hold

1266
01:22:41,879 --> 01:22:44,965
in the most powerful nation
in the world.

1267
01:22:45,048 --> 01:22:47,634
KIDS:
I pledge allegiance

1268
01:22:47,718 --> 01:22:53,015
to the flag of
the Confederate States of America,

1269
01:22:53,098 --> 01:22:57,269
and to the republic for which it stands,

1270
01:22:57,352 --> 01:23:00,230
one nation under God,

1271
01:23:00,314 --> 01:23:02,024
indivisible,

1272
01:23:02,065 --> 01:23:07,029
with liberty and justice
for all white people.

1273
01:23:08,989 --> 01:23:10,991
Amen.

1274
01:25:27,002 --> 01:25:31,215
("Cops" theme song parody
plays)

1275
01:26:22,766 --> 01:26:26,061
We are a friendly people

1276
01:26:26,103 --> 01:26:28,939
We value God's great plan

1277
01:26:29,022 --> 01:26:31,191
Though some say

1278
01:26:31,275 --> 01:26:35,487
Our ways are wrong

1279
01:26:35,571 --> 01:26:38,323
Washington and Davis

1280
01:26:38,407 --> 01:26:41,702
They made our empire grand

1281
01:26:41,743 --> 01:26:44,663
Others would destroy it

1282
01:26:44,746 --> 01:26:49,042
But Fauntroy has the plan

1283
01:26:49,084 --> 01:26:52,546
Oh, Fauntroy is the man

1284
01:26:52,588 --> 01:26:55,174
Fauntroy is the man

1285
01:26:55,257 --> 01:26:57,718
He can bring us back together

1286
01:26:57,759 --> 01:27:01,388
Protect our land

1287
01:27:01,430 --> 01:27:04,933
Oh, Fauntroy is the man

1288
01:27:05,017 --> 01:27:07,644
Fauntroy is the man

1289
01:27:07,728 --> 01:27:13,233
Yes, Fauntroy is the man

1290
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,160
We are a happy people

1291
01:27:23,243 --> 01:27:26,205
Our darkies love us, too

1292
01:27:26,288 --> 01:27:29,082
From Maine to Santiago

1293
01:27:29,124 --> 01:27:34,213
And Long Island full of Jews

1294
01:27:34,296 --> 01:27:37,257
His father died to save us

1295
01:27:37,299 --> 01:27:40,302
His son is forged in fire

1296
01:27:40,344 --> 01:27:43,388
He'll crush the evildoers

1297
01:27:43,472 --> 01:27:47,809
And keep us strong and pure

1298
01:27:47,851 --> 01:27:51,438
Oh, Fauntroy is the man

1299
01:27:51,522 --> 01:27:54,233
Fauntroy is the man

1300
01:27:54,316 --> 01:27:56,568
He can bring us back together

1301
01:27:56,652 --> 01:28:00,781
Protect our land

1302
01:28:00,822 --> 01:28:03,784
A need for strength
is in demand

1303
01:28:03,825 --> 01:28:06,703
A guiding light upon our man

1304
01:28:06,787 --> 01:28:09,164
Don't let the evildoers

1305
01:28:09,206 --> 01:28:13,210
Destroy our life

1306
01:28:13,293 --> 01:28:16,129
Fauntroy offers hope and trust

1307
01:28:16,171 --> 01:28:19,299
He'll secure a future
safe and just

1308
01:28:19,383 --> 01:28:25,180
A patriot to protect us
from all strife

1309
01:28:25,222 --> 01:28:28,725
Oh, Fauntroy

1310
01:28:28,809 --> 01:28:31,812
Fauntroy

1311
01:28:31,854 --> 01:28:36,191
Fauntroy is our man

1312
01:28:36,275 --> 01:28:38,777
Our man
