Today on Discovery Enterprise we present another exciting instalment of the of the epic History Channel documentary series Mankind: the Story of All of Us – Revolutions.
Mankind embarks
on a new age of exploration, and tames the wilderness. In North America,
Siberia and Australia,
ancient traditions are swept away in the name of commerce and science. Within a
hundred years, the irrational fear that produced a witch trial in Salem gives way to a very
rational cry for freedom.
American
revolutionaries confront a mighty empire. The battle for the modern world
begins. Two great revolutions entwine. The American Revolution inspires dreams
of political and personal liberty. The Industrial Revolution replaces muscle
power with machines, freeing Mankind from nature's limits. But our oldest
foe--disease--thrives in industrial cities. With the American Civil War, the
two revolutions collide. The world's first industrial war, it is a battle to
define "freedom."
