States

HISTORY presents a unique and unprecedented overview of the defining points in the histories of the United States, from watershed events to surprising, lesser-known tales that reveal the specific character of each region.

In a journey that charts the influential decisions that lead to the most dramatic pivotal events in the building of a nation, HISTORY CLASSICS: THE STATES looks at the dangerous exploration of each state’s territory, the relations between settlers and indigenous Americans, several states’ inclusion in the Union and the political and military developments that took place on each state’s soil. Together, these profiles provide an unforgettable portrait of the variety and grandeur of the American landscape. Enlisting scores of historians, cutting-edge 3D graphics and colorful local characters and celebrities, this special collection provides a fascinating, panoramic look into the sagas of all 50 American states.

HISTORY CLASSICS: THE STATES also features special documentaries about The Mexican-American War, the controversial war that resulted in the United States taking control of what was nearly half of Mexico's territory; the Louisiana Purchase, one of the greatest real estate deals in history; and Lewis & Clark, two of the most famous explorers in history.
