00:50:43,669 --> 00:50:46,672 and its isolationist foreign policy. 741 00:50:46,755 --> 00:50:49,216 Many Confederate leaders visited Germany, 742 00:50:49,299 --> 00:50:51,385 and attended the mass Nazi rallies. 743 00:50:51,468 --> 00:50:55,430 Congress officially supported Germany's new Aryan racial policies, 744 00:50:55,514 --> 00:50:58,308 calling them "biologically correct." 745 00:50:58,392 --> 00:51:02,145 Hitler returned the visit in the spring of 1935, 746 00:51:02,229 --> 00:51:04,648 touring the boroughs of New York City. 747 00:51:04,731 --> 00:51:06,984 Although protested by Jewish Americans, 748 00:51:07,067 --> 00:51:09,152 the trip was a resounding success. 749 00:51:09,236 --> 00:51:12,948 In Washington, Hitler proposed that America join with him 750 00:51:12,990 --> 00:51:17,452 in a final solution to the problem of inferior races. 751 00:51:17,536 --> 00:51:20,747 Hitler's plan was to exterminate the Jews of Europe 752 00:51:20,831 --> 00:51:23,584 and create a pure Aryan continent. 753 00:51:23,667 --> 00:51:27,421 Secretary of State John Ambrose Fauntroy III 754 00:51:27,504 --> 00:51:31,675 responded by suggesting that Germany not exterminate Jewish citizens, 755 00:51:31,758 --> 00:51:36,638 but instead use them as a productive slave labor force. 756 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:41,685 Taking Hitler on a tour of American slave labor plantations and factories, 757 00:51:41,768 --> 00:51:44,980 Fauntroy and Hitler discussed the possibilities. 758 00:51:45,022 --> 00:51:47,566 No agreement was reached, 759 00:51:47,649 --> 00:51:50,611 but Secretary Fauntroy made it clear the C.S. 760 00:51:50,694 --> 00:51:53,655 Felt it immoral to waste human livestock, 761 00:51:53,739 --> 00:51:56,742 but promised not to intervene in any military conflict 762 00:51:56,825 --> 00:51:58,952 Germany had with its neighbors. 763 00:51:59,036 --> 00:52:00,829 "America" did "have a new enemy." 764 00:52:00,913 --> 00:52:03,332 Japan had become expansionist, 765 00:52:03,415 --> 00:52:06,376 assembling a large military force. 766 00:52:06,460 --> 00:52:10,756 For the C.S.A., they posed a threat to the entire Pacific region. 767 00:52:10,839 --> 00:52:14,301 The Confederate States would act. 768 00:52:14,384 --> 00:52:17,804 On the morning of December 7th, 1941, 769 00:52:17,888 --> 00:52:22,267 America struck Japan in a devastating surprise attack. 770 00:52:22,351 --> 00:52:23,977 The air base on the Kuril Islands, 771 00:52:24,061 --> 00:52:27,481 the Japanese naval fleet anchored in Tokyo Bay, 772 00:52:27,564 --> 00:52:30,943 and the former capital of Kyoto were all heavily damaged 773 00:52:31,026 --> 00:52:32,319 by Confederate bombers. 774 00:52:32,402 --> 00:52:35,447 The war with Japan had begun. 775 00:52:35,531 --> 00:52:39,034 Because the Japanese people were small in physical stature, 776 00:52:39,117 --> 00:52:43,288 and non-white, Confederate leaders dismissed them as weak. 777 00:52:43,372 --> 00:52:47,417 Once again, they underestimated the will of a foreign power. 778 00:52:47,501 --> 00:52:51,088 They would find out just how weak they were. 779 00:52:51,171 --> 00:52:53,882 NARRATOR: "So many men" were dying in the war 780 00:52:53,966 --> 00:52:57,761 that Confederate leaders turned to their slaves for assistance. 781 00:52:57,845 --> 00:53:01,932 The first to volunteer were West Coast enslaved Japanese 782 00:53:02,015 --> 00:53:06,812 anxious to prove their loyalty and perhaps gain their freedom. 783 00:53:06,895 --> 00:53:11,483 However, Congress decided they were sneaky and could not be trusted. 784 00:53:11,567 --> 00:53:13,902 They were banned from service. 785 00:53:13,944 --> 00:53:17,906 A regiment of slaves, the 129th Fighting Bucks, 786 00:53:17,990 --> 00:53:21,243 were leased by their owners to the Confederate armed forces 787 00:53:21,285 --> 00:53:23,203 to serve in combat. 788 00:53:23,287 --> 00:53:26,206 The slaves were promised their freedom if they would fight. 789 00:53:26,290 --> 00:53:29,668 JOHNSON: The men of the 129th fought with distinction and courage. 790 00:53:29,751 --> 00:53:32,588 They were given the most dangerous missions, 791 00:53:32,671 --> 00:53:34,840 and casualties were very high. 792 00:53:34,923 --> 00:53:38,760 But they earned the respect of their Confederate officers. 793 00:53:38,844 --> 00:53:42,014 Even after suffering such tremendous losses, 794 00:53:42,097 --> 00:53:45,100 the Japanese forces still would just not surrender. 795 00:53:45,184 --> 00:53:48,103 And then, by the grace of God, we developed a weapon 796 00:53:48,145 --> 00:53:53,150 that would put the entire foreign world of coloreds in their place. 797 00:53:54,276 --> 00:53:55,819 NARRATOR: The war was over, 798 00:53:55,903 --> 00:53:58,572 and it was a time for immense celebration. 799 00:53:58,655 --> 00:54:03,160 However, after the war, the 129th Fighting Bucks 800 00:54:03,243 --> 00:54:05,954 were returned to their masters for enslavement. 801 00:54:05,996 --> 00:54:08,916 No explanation was given. 802 00:54:15,881 --> 00:54:20,511 Servant etiquette and proper table linens for formal dinner parties, 803
