In their honor this Memorial Day, HISTORY is taking a journey back to the inception of the United States in the new, two-day, four-part docudrama "America: Promised Land," which tells the stories of the everyday heroes who helped transform this great nation.
"One of the things I find inspiring is that when you look at this special, you realize the great things that our ancestors accomplished," Mike Stiller, VP Development & Programming, HISTORY and executive producer of "America: Promised Land," told Fox News. "If you’re Dutch, who knew that you saved New York City? If you’re German, you were 10 percent of the Union Army and you helped keep the union together during the Revolutionary War."
From early days when the Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in a town they named Boston, through the telling of historical events such as the Dutch Fur Trade, the effect the creation of the postage stamp had on Irish immigrants, the California Gold Rush, Germans coming to the aid of the Union Army in vast numbers during the Civil War, and more, "America: Promised Land" looks at how immigration transformed America as different people brought different ideas and skills to the new country.

They tend to be people who are willing to take a journey, especially back in the early years of our nation when the voyage was just too arduous for them to return home, so they were making a once-in-a-lifetime trip to a new new world mark it as brand
