Description
A close-up view of a pivotal year in American history focuses on 1831, a year that began with a solar eclipse and that included Nat Turner's rebellion, increasingly violent congressional debates over slavery and tariffs, religious revivalism, technological innovation, and Jackson's harsh policies toward Native Americans, all setting the stage for the coming Civil War.
