00:00The Americas, let's cross the Atlantic, here are the Americas.
00:06Once upon a time in the Americas, that's the story I'm going to tell you.
00:13From Cyprus to the Pacific, ancient people began to walk.
00:19They carved oceans, they crossed continents,
00:26Pursuing their dreams of freedom.
00:33The adventure was sometimes dramatic, often it was the end of the heroes.
00:40It's not easy, but it's magical, to make a brand new, beautiful watch.
00:47They all took up the torch, going further, going higher.
00:53And their dream became reality.
01:00They are now here, the Americas, just as you imagined them.
01:08It's up to you to make it the fantastic world we've all dreamed of one day.
01:13May they all walk hand in hand, to reach the end of their destiny.
01:21On this land, without hope, a land of brotherhood.
01:38Let's go back a little, if you don't mind.
01:40The Union is made up of 33 states and has more than 30 million weapons.
01:43But the north and the south are very different.
01:45In the north, there is mainly a white population, which numbers 22 million inhabitants.
01:49Roughly.
01:50In the south, there are 9 million of them, including 4 million Black people, most of whom are slaves.
01:55Hey Tom, haven't you seen Nat?
02:00We've been looking for him everywhere, Tom. You don't know where he is?
02:03Oh no, sir, we haven't seen him all day.
02:06Another one who tried to escape, but we'll find him. We'll find him!
02:15He must have had to swim there.
02:17His trail ends there; perhaps he drowned.
02:18A thousand dollars, that's what he was worth; he was young and healthy.
02:21And wherever it's on file, I'll find it, I'll find it!
02:23Go away!
02:35Thank God. Now I'd better head north, towards Pennsylvania.
02:39Freedom!
02:41Yes, and I must tell you again that slavery is an evil in itself.
02:44because Black men also have rights.
02:47And our beautiful and great constitution guarantees freedom to all.
02:50Yes, that's the reason!
02:51Yes!
02:54I would like to remind Mr. Lincoln that in our states,
02:57It is the citizens themselves who decide whether they want it or not.
02:59that slavery be abolished among them.
03:01And in half of the states of the Union, citizens have already made their choice...
03:04But who knows, Mr. Lincoln would certainly prefer
03:06that our states secede to become independent.
03:10and in half of the states of the Union, citizens now have and citizens now have.
03:40and in half of the states of the Union, citizens now have and citizens now have
03:54and citizens have now and citizens have now.
04:10We'll try to find you something to wear decently.
04:12And in exchange, you'll do some work for me, is that okay with you?
04:15Oh yes
04:16What's your name ?
04:17Nathaniel Black, but everyone calls me Nat, I'm from Virginia
04:20My name is Ben, Benjamin White
04:23There is no slavery here, you are a free man, Nat
04:31My friends, this is Nat Black from Virginia, he's come to work with us.
04:35Hi Nat
04:37Welcome, I'm Jim
04:40Hey Jed, are you deaf or something? Couldn't you say hi to Nat Black?
04:44A black man, and on top of that, a runaway slave?
04:46Oh, I have a feeling we're going to have some more problems
04:48This is a free country, and I think Nat is a man just like you and me.
04:51And that's why, my old friend Jed, if you don't like it...
04:53Okay, fine, fine, my name's Jed, I just hope you're not a lazy bum
04:57like yours
04:58Yes, we work here.
05:01Listen, if that's the only choice you have, then I can leave.
05:04Good idea, Nat, leave right away if you want
05:06It's you, Jed, who can leave
05:07Okay, that's fine, that's fine, you just have to stay
05:08There must be something left to nibble on, come on, Nat
05:26Hey Nat, where's that big, burly guy in his twenties?
05:39At the printing shop
05:51What brings you here, gentlemen?
05:54You are here in my house, what do you want?
05:56I have come to reclaim my slave; here is my title deed.
06:02Our law gives me the right to take it back
06:06Here's what I do with your title deed
06:10Here we are in Pennsylvania, a free, anti-slavery state.
06:15Now, get out of my house
06:16I'll only go out with this black guy who belongs to me, is that clear?
06:41On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln became President of the Union
06:45A divided house cannot stand
06:48I don't want the union to be dissolved.
06:49I don't hear that the house is collapsing.
06:52But I want it to stop being so divided
06:55Between slave owner and anti-slave owner
06:57The first, Carolina, will secede
07:00A few weeks later, all the slave states
07:02With the exception of Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland
07:06We will follow
07:11Ahead !
07:31General Bourguard, the Force Hunter's carnison, absolutely refuses to surrender
07:35That's very regrettable; in that case, we'll open fire tonight.
07:42Captain James, General Bourguard orders them to open fire
07:45Lieutenant Prieur, open fire!
07:47With your permission, Captain, I...
07:49I preferred not to be the one to fire the first shot in this fratricidal war.
07:55I understand, I will do it myself, Prior
08:19Gentlemen, to deal with the state of insurrection
08:21We are going to call up 75,000 volunteers.
08:24And we will impose a maritime blockade on those in the south.
08:27Nat, it's war, a fratricidal war
08:29But our cause is just, and I have decided to get involved.
08:32So I too am making a commitment
08:34To go and defend our freedom
08:38Subtitling by Radio-Canada
08:38Subtitling by Radio-Canada
09:30No, that one, he's one of us.
09:32Look at those guys, with striped trousers
09:35These are our enemies.
09:38A fox hunter, a fox hunter
09:46What's certain is that I don't need to see his uniform to know...
09:50which side is it on?
10:06Lieutenant Jones, we will try
10:08And if it works?
10:11This will be a revolution in naval warfare
10:13And if, on the contrary, we fail, Captain Buchanan
10:16Then we will all be dead
10:17Okay, let's all move forward to the camera, the well-positioned
10:34Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
10:37Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go
10:53It's a terrible weapon, Mr. President
10:55Our idiots didn't even scratch it.
10:57He will probably go up the Potomac
10:59To come and bomb the White House
11:04For the moment, Mr. Minister, I see absolutely nothing.
11:06Moreover, we have prepared a response.
11:23Our armor held up, but our cannons aren't powerful enough.
11:26We'll have to look into that, Lieutenant.
11:28Yes, our armor held up, but our cannons aren't powerful enough.
11:32We'll have to look into that, Lieutenant.
11:34The first naval battle between battleships
11:38You see, you can't stop progress.
11:40Okay, so who won?
11:43Oh, nobody this time
11:45And the war will continue relentlessly.
11:49We need to take this height
11:51This is essential for the rest of our attack, gentlemen.
11:53At your service, General Grant
11:57Here is the hill in question
11:58She is well guarded
12:00Sergeant Nat, with your company, you will go around it.
12:02To take them by surprise
12:03When we attack
12:05Is that clear?
12:06At your service
12:10No, but do you realize?
12:11It's the black man, a slave, who's now in charge of us.
12:14Oh, if only I weren't holding back
12:16Well, what would you do?
12:18He was promoted because he is brave and a good soldier.
12:21Whereas you, you're just a coward
12:30Charged cavalry
12:44Charged cavalry!
12:47On both sides
12:48And huge losses on both sides
12:51The battles will be lost.
13:18Whereas you told me in one go
13:19Goodbye, that's it!
13:47Him again? No way!
13:49I would have followed him, I would have...
13:54General Lee, who commanded the Confederate troops,
13:57He knew how to galvanize his soldiers who would have followed him to hell.
14:00But Lee, a man of great worth,
14:03will not succeed, despite the valor of his troops,
14:06to beg for their numerical inferiority.
14:13And he will be forced to surrender.
14:21Your officers will be able to keep their weapons.
14:23and they will all keep their horses.
14:25President Lincoln wants all the soldiers to return home.
14:28and get back to work,
14:30so that the whole country can recover and become united again.
14:33Agreed, General Grant.
14:35I accept your terms on behalf of the Confederate Army.
14:40And the fratricidal war came to an end.
14:43It had cost 600,000 lives and 400,000 people were injured.
14:49But shortly afterwards,
14:52a man named Boots,
14:55I'll get it.
15:05No one left to work!
15:07Yes, Black people are free now.
15:09They no longer owe us any explanations.
15:11They can do whatever they want.
15:12Oh really, you believe that?
15:14Well, we'll see about that!
15:16Friends, we are going to create a secret society
15:19which will be called the Ku Klux Klan.
15:21The superiority of the white race must be preserved.
15:23And we will all fight for that.
15:25But first, we will swear allegiance.
15:28I, a great sage, swear.
15:30I, great dragon, I swear.
15:32Me, great titan, I swear.
15:33Me, big chewer, I swear.
15:35I, the great sentinel, I swear it.
15:39Take me!
15:41Ah, I'm a little calon!
25:13The city of Chicago
