In the first part of a three-part series, CROSSROADS OF A NATION (1x60) explores the history of Missouri and its impact on broader US history as the nation expanded west across the continent. Award winning host Catherine Neville sits down with historians and dives deep into little-known stories of America’s early history, and how Missouri’s unique position at the confluence of the continent’s great rivers positioned the region as a fulcrum of events that continue to resonate across America. From the region’s indigenous cultures to Lewis and Clark’s groundbreaking journey, the rise of steamships to the Dred and Harriet Scott case, up to the brink of Civil War, this film traces Missouri’s indelible -- and undeniable -- mark on American history, which helped shape the nation into what it is today.
