It's the story of both the Good and the Bad, of United States Imperalism AKA Manifest Destiny, and how the USA got this vast area of land in North America: by wrestling it away from Native Americans and Mexicans, as well as the unexpected opportunity of the Louisiana Purchase. Should be mandatory viewing for every U.S. Citizen.

History used to be boring. This is anything but; exciting, captivating, what-happens-next entertainment. And, educating, of course. Love it!
