Following the end of the Revolutionary warWar, Mark Twain takes over as the show's primary host. Twain announces that 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>
It has grown too abundant to be snuffed out, like a lantern.|Fredrick Douglas}}
As Douglass drifts away, the screen once again goes dark. Then, a A family getting their portrait is shown and taken in Matthew Brady's studio then rises to the stage. The two brothers are heard arguing over the merits of southern Southern succession from the Union. As their father tells them not to ruin their mother's birthday, their mother states that she is just happy that the whole family is all together. As a camera flashes (taking the families’ picture) the song “Two Brothers” begins to play.
