Скачать или смотреть A History of Early America: From Vikings to the First Colonies

Long before 1776, North America was a land of vibrant, complex civilizations like the Aztec, Inca, and Haudenosaunee Confederacy. But the arrival of Europeans—starting with the Vikings and followed centuries later by the "Age of Discovery"—changed the continent forever.

In this documentary, we explore the chaotic scramble for power and the brutal struggle for survival in a "New World." We dive into:

The First Encounters: From Leif Erikson's short-lived settlement in Newfoundland to Columbus’s world-altering 1492 voyage.

Vanished Colonies: The haunting mystery of Roanoke, the "Lost Colony" that left behind only a single cryptic word: Croatoan.

Precarious Footholds: How Jamestown survived the "Starving Time" and how the Pilgrims at Plymouth relied on the Wampanoag people to stay alive.

A Defining Stain: The arrival of the White Lion in 1619 and the tragic evolution of chattel slavery in English North America.

Join us as we unwrap the complex, often violent foundations of what would eventually become the United States.
