 Sid
Parkinson Best laid plans gang aft agley.
This first podcast looks at the period
from the American Revolution to the the War of 1812-1815
and discusses the way the Revolution reset the North
American geopoThelitical world. Economic relations
and the way in which the new country interacted with
its former colonial ruler are outlined and how these
varied issues shaped this second conflict are detailed.
Sid
Parkinson: Don't Give Up the Fight
The
second podcast takes the story from this war to the
end of the American Civil War. It discusses the series
of minor skirmishes and diplomatic treaties which
shaped the relationship between the United States
and the British colonies during this period, and the
rising awareness of local politicians that they needed
to play an augmented role in their own local defense.
Of the many consequences arising from this awareness
is the confederation of many of the British North
American colonies into a single Dominion which we
now call Canada.
