1.20 The Great Migration
The Political History of the United States
07/22/19 • 29 min
Thus far we have placed our focus in New England on Plymouth which has seen a steady, though slow, amount of growth. However, during the 1630's the population of New England is going to explode when Puritans exit England to escape increasing persecution. This week we are going to head to England and look at the conditions that made nearly 80,000 Puritans flee from their home country.

1.23 Biography Edition: Roger Williams
The Political History of the United States
09/02/19 • 40 min
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.

1.22 Biography Edition: John Winthrop
The Political History of the United States
08/19/19 • 34 min
For the first biography episode of the podcast, we look at John Winthrop. An early founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Winthrop would spend much of his two decades in New England as the governor of Massachusetts. More than that, however, it was his immortal words to the new colonists on their way to Massachusett's that would cement his legacy. Winthrop described Massachusetts as being "as a city upon a hill." These words endure today as something of a mission statement for what the United States strives to stand for.

1.21 The Great Migration in New England
The Political History of the United States
08/05/19 • 29 min
Last time, we spent our episode discussing the causes of the Great Migration from England. We looked at the changing economic and religious atmosphere during the 1630s as Charles I did all he could to alienate the Puritans in England. This week we jump across the Atlantic and watch as the Great Migration begins to flood people into the new Massachusetts Bay Colony. Virtually overnight Massachusetts is going to become the dominate colony in New England, a position it will continue to hold for the next century and a half.

1.19 The Changing Nature of Plymouth
The Political History of the United States
07/08/19 • 26 min
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.

1.18 Plymouth in the 1620s
The Political History of the United States
06/24/19 • 35 min
During the settlers second year in Plymouth we see them work to build off the diplomatic success that we saw a week ago. Unfortunately for the settlers, they had entered into a world that was already full of rivalries and competition between the various tribes. This week we are going to watch how the Pilgrims navigate through a political quagmire that they are unfortunately unprepared for. At the same time, the settlers are forced to address an angry company back in England that is anxious to make a profit. All of this is going to combine to force the pilgrim led ambush at Wessagussett.
