Product Description

Despite common belief the Civil War does not end in 1865 and the blood of many Americans mostly blacks continues to flow freely. It is a period known as "Reconstruction" a time many consider to be the darkest in American History. America is supposed to be reuniting healing its wounds and moving past civil discord. But by examining what is really going on in the post-Civil War South one can see snapshots of a larger more menacing picture a picture shadowed by murder terrorism and chaos as "free" black men and women remain enslaved by a South that does not completely surrender. Insurgencies led by disgruntled ex-Confederate soldiers rip through nearly every southern state. America's first terrorist group the Ku Klux Klan is formed in Tennessee and uses scare tactics and murder to keep blacks down.Run Time: 90 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

Description

The world of the Ancient Greeks lives on today through its mythology. For countless generations prior to biblical times, tales of gods and goddesses were passed down by storytellers and interwoven into traditions and philosophies. Each city devoted itself to particular gods. But these gods also had human frailties. Where did the pantheon originate? Did any of the stories in Greek mythology actually occur? We look at new archaeological evidence that supports the possibility.

It's a museum where tourists come to see our country's history, a place of business where some of the greatest decisions of democracy have been made and, to the families of 42 Presidents, it has also been a home. The White House is perhaps the most photographed location in all of the United States of America but those images are mostly from the outside looking in. Now, President and Mrs. Bush invite viewers to join them on the first in-depth televised tour of this grand residence since Jacqueline Kennedy invited cameras inside in 1962. President and Mrs. Bush share their own personal insights and what it has been like to live in this historical house. In addition, special guests, brothers Leslie and Leigh Keno, well known from television's Antiques Roadshow, join the tour to offer their insight and engaging curiosity to the journey.
