Synopsis
The years 1800 to 1860 are covered. The burgeoning cotton industry led to the expansion of slavery to new territories during this time; and many slaves were forcibly relocated to the Deep South in what's become known as the Second Middle Passage. But even as slavery intensified, so did resistance large and small. To that end, the courage and heroism demonstrated by Harriet Tubman, Richard Allen and Frederick Douglass are recalled.
