- In 1860, as the American Experiment threatened to explode into a bloody civil war, there were as many as four hundred thousand slave-owners in the United States, and almost four million slaves. The nation was founded upon the idea that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The nation would pay a bloody cost for denying that right to more than twelve percent of its population. But when slavery was first brought to America's shores, this war, and even the nation it tore apart, was centuries in the future. With incredibly detailed historical reenactments, expert commentary and the stories of slavery told through first-hand accounts, this is an epic struggle 400 years in the making. A journey into the past like none other. This is the story of these men and women who by their hands laid the foundation of what would become the most powerful nation on Earth.

- Theo Wilson travels back in time to Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 where the village is self-destructing over allegations of witchcraft amongst dozens of its citizens. Why did this small town lose its collective mind in the 'witch hunts? Wilson finds himself solving the mystery of what led accused witches to be condemned to the gallows, retracing the dark road that caused Salem to turn on itself - from an accidentally flooded farm and a bitter feud between two Puritan families, to a divisive minister preaching "fire and brimstone," to a secret fortune telling game played by two local girls, to the "diagnosis" of Satanic possession, and a sham trial where hearsay and spectral evidence are all admissible, we find ourselves with a front row seat to the madness.
- Theo Wilson time-travels to the mid 1800s where he finds a young man named Jesse James on the path toward becoming America's most infamous outlaw.

Theo is there when Jesse James falls prey to a bullet fired by a gang member with a thirst for fame.
