In addition to colorful accounts of the massive westward migration, the California Gold Rush, a war with Mexico, the Oregon boundary conflict, Texas and the Alamo, Liberty for All? takes a deep look at the issue that began to gnaw at the country's core: How, in the land where \"all men are created equal,\" could there be slaves? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMaster storyteller Joy Hakim has excited millions of young minds with the great drama of American history in her award-winning series A History of US.
