The Unfinished Nation: From Days before Time

Recounts the first wave of Spanish exploration and colonization in the Americas, emphasizing the Spanish influence on North America and its impact on future historical events. Beginning with the arrival of the Paleo-Indians and the establishment of various Native American cultures and societies, the program chronicles the journeys of Christopher Columbus and other explorers who landed in Central and South America while searching for a route to the East. Noted historians discuss the savage and domineering rule of the conquistadors over the Aztec and Incan people as well as highlight the more gentle attempts by Franciscan missionaries to spread Christianity among the native population. The Spanish colonial system is highlighted, including the monarchy’s desire for gold and silver that created the slave trade in the New World. A look at the Spanish influence on Native American society and agriculture reveals the complex relationship between the colonizer and the colonized.
