56:13Now PlayingTaking the words of the Pledge of Allegiance literally, Winchester explores how fifty states became "one nation." Mixing travel with history, Winchester retraces the paths of great explorers like Lewis and Clark and surveys the transcontinental railroad and highway systems. He also considers the philosophies and ideas that linked the far-flung regions, including the idea of the republic itself.
