Fecha de emisión: May 22, 2014

For centuries, the land that will become Philadelphia is home to the Lenni Lenape people. The rich soil and rivers support a peaceful civilization, but in the 1600's Dutch settlers assert their rights to the territory, and a bloody confrontation erupts. Swedish farmers arrive next, but their colony is torn apart by the tyrannical rule of Governor Johan Printz. By the late 1600's, persecuted English Quakers seek a safe haven in the area just as outbreaks of European disease devastate the Lenape.
