Review of the First two parts of Slavery and the Making of America

On PBS on Wednesday night there was a two hour special called Slavery and the Making of America. It covered the time from when the first slaves came to North America to the early Ante Bellum period. It was very well done. For the learned history buff or one who went to U of C(like myself) and took a course on Race and the Constitution(which actually focused most of hte class on how southern states dealt with slavery and crimes towards or by slaves. Needless to say I got a lot out of the documentary.
