During the winter of 1609-1610, the Jamestown colony is going to hit its low mark. During that winter, food shortages would become such a serious problem that nearly two-thirds of the settlers are going to die. Stories of cannibalism emerge from that winter, and eventually, it would lead to the temporary abandonment of the colony. This episode is going to look at the traditional story of that winter, examine if that telling is accurate, and finally, look at the long term effects of the starving time. Plus, if you check this weeks episode out, you'll hear John Smith make an uncomfortable joke about cannibalism.

Following the English attack at Wessagussett, the Plymouth colony enters a new period. During this episode, we are going to see the continued fallout from that assault. At the same time, however, we are going to see internal changes at Plymouth that help make it a far more sustainable colony and sees the functional end of starvation as a real risk. For the members of the Leiden congregation, they are going to find themselves fighting an ever-increasing battle to maintain their control over the colony. All this is coming on the eve of the Great Migration, which is going to completely shift the balance of power in New England.

During the Summer months of 1774 the colonies began preparations for a meeting in Philadelphia. This process would show just how many differences remained between the colonies as everybody came in with their own specific agenda. They all had things that they were worried about, things that they wanted to accomplish. This tension between the colonies, colonies that had been competitors in business for a century and a half, would help dictate the first continental congress.

Upon arriving in America, Roger Williams quickly became one of the most prominent colonists in New England. As the founder of Rhode Island, a proponent of Native American land rights, and an early advocate of the separation of church and state, Williams spent much of his life alienating just about everybody in New England. Despite this Williams remains a giant figure in American colonial history and left a legacy that would help color the policies of the future United States.
