After spending our first 6 episodes bouncing around Europe, it is finally time to move the party across the Atlantic. This week we head into the first of several episodes looking at that first colony in Jamestown. We are going to spend this week with our focus on who the first settlers were, and why they decided to make Jamestown their new home. We are also going to take a fun little detour this week and check out the often totally forgotten Popham colony, which was founded just a few months after Jamestown.Join us on social media!

Folge vom 16.12.20181.5 The EconomySo far on our survey of 16th century Europe we have spent time looking at the political situation as well as the developing religious changes. This week our attention goes to the changing economy. During the 16th century, we see the economy continue through a long period of modernization.

Folge vom 02.12.20181.4 The ReformationThroughout the course of this podcast, few topics are going to remain more closely tied to the politics of the United States than religion. Religion is going to be a driving force behind so much of American politics, that often you cannot easily separate the two from each other. This week we are going to continue our survey of Europe in the 16th century by looking at the Reformation. The Reformation is going to change the religious landscape in Europe and will ultimately have a major impact on the religion that we see emerge in the North American colonies. We are going to focus primarily on Martin Luther and his role this week, though we are also going to be spending time back in England for the far more pragmatic English Reformation.Join us on social media!
