MEEST RECENTE AFLEVERING 🔗

After a few episodes of the big ideas that drove the Revolution and the large scale changes that came as a result, I'm heading back down to the more micro level.

VORIGE AFLEVERINGEN

For the first half of this season I have been skirting around the overall reason the American colonists decided to raise their own banner against England. This episode is meant to rectify that by detailing the traditions fought against and the new philosophy fought for. Before “independence” became…
While the American Revolution provided a voice to a people who longed to break free from the toke of the British Government. However, while they decried the slavery they faced from the King, hundreds of thousands of men, women and children remained in chains. This contradition was well understood, …
As the war branched out away from Boston and New York, several fronts—and several major battles—were being fought simultaneously. Meanwhile, there were several cultural dynamics at play away from the battlefield. This is the first episode where I try to address both. I start with major battles to e…

This is the story of that long slide to rebellion. Between 1766 and 1775, there are a dozen or more moments that could be pointed t…
Welcome to the third era of Missing Pages: the Revolution. In this 250th anniversary I will be exploring the events, people, and ideas—both well-known and more hidden—to provide a comprehensive picture of America’s founding. This first episode deals with the frontier wars and the acts that started …
Just like last season—and from here on out—this episode acts as a recap and reflection of this era. I provide a brief summary of the episodes released this season, explore some of the themes that stuck out to me, discuss some of my previously held misconceptions, and explore how well the AP notes h…
After the first two wars for empire dominated the attention of the colonies throughout North America, both the English and French were able to focus on growth. For the English colonists, this respite allowed their financial position to rival, and even surpass, Great Britain. In New France, the fort…
