TrailerThe series begins by identifying the key themes that shaped New York's history: commerce and capitalism, diversity and democracy, transformation and creativity. The episode charts the development of the city founded by the Dutch as a purely commercial enterprise, first as New Amsterdam, a freewheeling enclave of trade and opportunity; then as the British New York, a colony fueled by slavery which was bestowed as a birthday gift upon the Duke of York by his brother, King Charles; soon after as a strategically pivotal locale in the American Revolution; and ultimately as the city of New York: the nation's first capital and the place destined to define urban life in America -- and American ideals.Genre: Documentary, HistoryActors: David Ogden Stiers, Pete Hamill, Philip Bosco, Mike Wallace, Brendan Gill, Eli Wallach, George Plimpton, David McCullough, Robert A.
