An Equal Chance (1855-1871) - Philadelphia: The Great Experiment

For free educational materials, visit our website at www.historymakingproductions.com/philadelphia-the-great-experiment
The Civil War shatters neighborhood calm and brings old tensions to a boiling point. Philadelphia will be the powerhouse of the North: brimming with industrial muscle, scores of war hospitals, and thousands of troops. Citizens rally around President Lincoln's call that "all should have an equal chance." But with the war over and the President dead, the fight for equality becomes a battle in the streets - with tragic results.

    👍👍👍. Besides being raised in city upwardly mobile lower class to middle-class Suburbia; If it wasn’t for experiences learned Growing and WORKING in such a Various and Diverse environment of Racial/ Cultural/ Language & Societal Differences - I’d never would have truly appreciated Education, Nuggets Of Golden Values, Beliefs & Philosophies from many opened minded/ intelligent peoples. Appreciative your series points this fact of Working Unity must be supported & carried forward to the next Generations. Kudos again!

    Exactly and agreed. The immigrant story is totally glossed over within the historical vacum of "black and white". No story of the Anti-Irish and all the bigotry the German, Polish and Italian Catholics had to endure. But this is typical of those who "tell" and produce the story today.

    The parties have fliiped the last 160 year. Now republicans are the conservatives and democrats are the progressives, but back than it was vise versa. Franklin Roosevelt and Theodore Roosevelt were the ones who changed the game like that.
