===Westward Expansion and Slavery===
Following the end of the Revolutionary war, Mark Twain takes over as the show's primary host. Twain announces that following subsequent to its establishment, America was Westward bound, and heading to new frontiers. As images of horses, Indians, frontier men, and a panhandler flicker across the screen, Mark Twain tells Franklin:
{{Quotation|Yes sir, Dr. Franklin, you founding fathers gave us a pretty good start, don't ya know.<br>
Folks like Frederick Douglas.| Mark Twain}}
At this point, Frederick Douglas Douglass is shown on a raft, floating down the Mississippi River. Douglas Douglass 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>
It has grown too abundant to be snuffed out, like a lantern.|Fredrick Douglas}}
As Douglas Douglass drifts away, the screen once again goes dark. Then, a family portrait is shown and two brothers are heard arguing over the merits of southern successionfrom the Union. As their father tells them not to ruin their mother's birthday, their mother tells them states that she is just happy they are that the whole family is all together. As a camera flashes (taking the families’ picture) the song “Two Brothers” begins to play.
