In this episode of the World's Fair series, we explore the first North American World's Fair which was held in Philadelphia to celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Find out how eight men lost their lives, the first Women's pavilion ended up being funded, the African American population were treated, and how the fair almost came to a tragic end.
