Philadelphia celebrates the Centennial of the USA with a spectacular World's Fair in 1876. The merchant John Wanamaker captures the spirit of the times with his grand department store. He leads the effort to build a city within the city for the Fair, including the largest building in the world. As millions flock to the Centennial, it becomes a magnet for activists. Susan B. Anthony leads a group of women who disrupt the July 4th celebration at Independence Hall to advocate for women's right to vote. Educator Caroline LeCount presses for the inclusion of Black Philadelphians in the planning process. The city bristles with ambition and aspiration, which manifest in the plans for a towering new City Hall. But as construction of City Hall drags on for decades, John Wanamaker worries that the soaring city he imagined will fall under the influence of a corrupt political machine.

This is brilliant and fascinating! Great job all involved in this project.
Who were these incredible builders that built these structures stuff we could not do today?
Tartaria
Really enjoyed this1
Only 6000 views since last years? Goes on to show how much the modern day variants care about their own history or where they came from.
Numb skulls!
The same people who judge your love of Philadelphia by your level of eagles fandom
This is my favorite time period of US History, because I think it's so mysterious and we don't really know as much as we think.
Much love from a native Philadelphian ❤
21:12 One of the great things that Philadelphia did after the 1876 Centennial Exposition was to keep Memorial Hall. Today it is the Please Touch Museum, for children to enjoy.
Absolutely love this building. I used to help on the weddings and balls that are still held at that hall today. The basement is crazy. There is no way they built this building the way they said they did or when they said they did. It's ancient and mysterious
Sorry but it's the Sunday before the Super Bowl, go Eagles. That said Thank you and thumbs up for the free documentary about Philadelphia, I greatly enjoyed it.
Woe look how far we came
Not unless I had tunnels with trains back then

I smell Philadelphia from New Jersey.
I live in Philadelphia , and so did My Ancestors. I am beginning to see a lot of "cracks" in this "official History" of My Home City. There is not one photo that shows City Hall under construction , and this "Historical Documentary" is a soap opera about a bunch of Women and a "Worlds Fair"? The Worlds Fairs at the mid to late 19th Century were just an excuse to destroy evidence that it's not possible for Folks with nothing more than a six Horsepower Engine could Design , build , and organize the logistical , accounting , labor , and so on....that that Worlds Fair would have taken...Think about it for a while....while also building City Hall , The Franklin Institute , and the Art Museum? No way....No way...
Can you go into a little more detail and explain exactly what it is you are saying... maybe it is because I am drowsy that I need for you to spell it out
@@gardensofthegods There was a World With Great Cities , and People already Living In America , and The History is covered up cause It's Truth about The "Land Grab" would be enough to Make even an MK Ultra Clone like My Parents realize The Crimes , and It will make the Prison's overfull..
@@davidwaynechoate8059 you're still not being specific enough.... what kind of great cities what kind of buildings... what about the American Indians
David Wayne Choate MK Ultra, a CIA program to create assassins to kill with a code word, the Unabomber was a volunteer for this program, hmm, , sure makes you wonder, several movies made based on MKUltra, such as the Manchurian Candidate, and the movie starring Mel Gibson “ Public Enemy” .
@@apocyldoomer He spelled His Name :"Uni _-Bomber"
There was no USA back then
It was in 1876??
LMFAOOOOOO ROBBERY
I AM LENAPE INDIAN THIS IS OURS WE BUILT THIS FORSURE
ROBBERY
Mind Unveiled CZcams channel! Preach it, it's robbery for sure.
Do you have any "alternative" history that was handed down to you?
