Summary: It was the dawn of the American century, a time of optimism, progress, and confidence. Yet the 19th century's final year would prove to be a turning point. American troops are sent overseas for the first time, a public debate rages over sex and morality, racial tensions threaten to explode, and the pace of technological change propels everyone into the unknown. Features archival film and photographs.
