===Westward Expansion and the Civil War===
Following the end of the Revolutionary war, Mark Twain takes over as the show's primary host. Twain announces that America is Westward bound, and heading to new frontiers. As images of horses, Indians, frontier men, and a panhandler flicker across the screen, Mark Twain tells Ben Franklin:
{{Quotation|Yes sir, Dr. Franklin, you founding fathers gave us a pretty good start, don't ya know.<br>
We still had some things to learn the hard way. <br>
It seems a whole bunch of folks found out "We the people", didn't yet mean all the people. <br>
Folks like Frederick Douglas.<br>| Mark Twain}}
At this point, Frederick Douglas is shown on a raft, floating down the Mississippi River. Douglas then speaks to Twain directly saying:
{{Quotation|Even amidst the cricket song here along Mark Twain's beloved Mississippi, I hear the noise of chains and the crack of the whip. Yet there's hope. <br>
Hope born from the words of Harriet Beacher Stowe. <br>
Uncle Tom's Cabin has given our nation a key, which can unlock the slave prison to millions. <br>
Anti-Slavery is no longer a thing to be prevented. <br>
It has grown too abundant to be snuffed out, like a lantern.|Fredrick Douglas}}
