Podcast appearances and mentions of David Hackett Fischer

This is the second of two "Sidebar" episodes in honor of the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's famous ride, which we will celebrate on the night of April 18 by putting two lights in a window of our house.  Last time we explored the prelude to the ride in the months before the final crisis that triggered the march of the British "Regulars" on Lexington and Concord. This episode is the story of Paul Revere's "midnight" ride on the night of April 18-19, 1775, including the famous lanterns of Old North Church, the fraught trip across the Charles River under the guns of HMS Somerset, his spectacular horse Brown Beauty (one of the great equine heroes of American history), the "waking up the institutions of New England" that night in raising the alarm not just on the road to Lexington and Concord but throughout eastern New England, and his astonishing capture and release. And, sure, William Dawes and Dr. Samuel Prescott.

April 18, 2025 is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's "Midnight Ride" to alarm the towns around Boston that the "Regulars" were marching out to capture artillery and ammunition at Concord, or perhaps to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock. This was but the last of a series of crises that rocked New England in the months before the midnight ride and the battles of Lexington and Concord the next day. This episode explores those crises, known as the "Powder Alarms," and Paul Revere's central role in the resistance movement among Boston Whigs - including the famous Sons of Liberty - during those fraught years before the shooting began.

Chapter 1 Dissect the inner meaning of the book Albion's Seed"Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America" is a book written by David Hackett Fischer. Published in 1989, the book explores the different folkways (customs, beliefs, and cultural practices) brought to America by four distinct groups of British migrants in the 17th and 18th centuries. These groups include the Puritans from East Anglia, the Cavaliers from southern England, the Quakers from the North Midlands, and the Borderers from the border between England and Scotland.Fischer argues that these four groups of migrants played a significant role in shaping the cultural, social, and political landscape of America. The book examines various aspects of their lives, including their religious beliefs, family structures, agricultural practices, legal systems, and dialects. Fischer also delves into the influence of these folkways on key historical events, such as the American Revolution and the Civil War.Through extensive research and rich detail, "Albion's Seed" provides a comprehensive analysis of how the diverse British traditions that these groups brought with them contributed to the regional identities that continue to shape America today.Chapter 2 Does the book Albion's Seed A Good Book deserve a Read?Opinions on books can vary greatly depending on individual tastes and interests. "Albion's Seed" by David Hackett Fischer is generally well-regarded by scholars and readers interested in American history and cultural studies. The book explores the lasting impact of four British regional cultures in shaping the United States, focusing on the regions of New England, the Midlands, the North, and the South. If you are interested in this subject matter, it is likely that "Albion's Seed" will be an informative and interesting read for you. However, it is always a good idea to read reviews and summaries of the book to determine if its content aligns with your specific interests and expectations.Chapter 3 Synopsis of the book Albion's Seed"Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America" by David Hackett Fischer is a seminal work that explores the cultural roots of four major American regions and the impact of British immigration on shaping their distinct identities. Published in 1989, the book examines the history and traditions brought by the English, Scots-Irish, Welsh, and Germanic settlers, who laid the foundations for the American colonies and later influenced the development of American culture.Fischer argues that these regional cultures, or "folkways," were deeply embedded in the early settlers' social, religious, political, and economic practices. Each group brought its own unique set of customs, religious beliefs, social structures, and political ideologies, which shaped the character of the colonies they settled.The English group, originating from various regions of England, established dominant settlements in New England, Virginia, and the Mid-Atlantic. Their values, grounded in Puritanism and Anglicanism, emphasized communal obligations, hierarchical social structures, and a sense of duty towards the common good. This English heritage laid the groundwork for American ideals of individual rights and representative democracy.The Scots-Irish, hailing from the borders of Scotland and England, settled primarily in the Appalachian region. Known for their fierce independence, martial spirit, and Presbyterian religious traditions, they brought their distinctive kinship ties and a sense of rugged individualism to America. Their cultural practices influenced later American notions of personal freedom and...

In this episode we tell the story of Jean Nicolet, one of Samuel de Champlain's embedded interpreters. In the summer of 1634, Champlain sent Nicolet to negotiate a treaty with a tribe known to eat their enemies on the shores of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Along the way we consider the first European encounters with cities that today have National Football League franchises, and the fraught question of Nicolet's legendary "Chinese robe," which was depicted on a United States postage stamp in 1934. But the serious question remains: Was Champlain still looking for a northwest passage, or playing geopolitical 3-D chess? [Errata: No sooner did I publish this episode than I realized that John Smith and other Virginians exploring the Chesapeake had certainly reached the site of Baltimore. The latest possible date is Thomas Claiborne in 1631. All such possible visits are obviously earlier than Jean Nicolet reaching Green Bay.] Twitter: @TheHistoryOfTh2 Facebook: The History of the Americans Podcast Selected references for this episode Patrick J.

African Founders:  How Enslaved People Expanded American Ideals, the latest work by award-winning author David Hackett Fischer, examines the interactions and intertwinings of Africans and their culture as it integrated into the European base culture that the American colonists brought from there.  This majestic work illustrates how enslaved Africans and their descendants enlarged American ideas of freedom in varying ways in different regions of the early United States.Our conversation with David Fischer, Warren Professor of History emeritus at Brandeis University, ranges from race and slavery in early America to the teaching and writing of history and the future of the American republic.

By 1861, there were 250,000 free people of color living in the American South. They were signs of contradiction amidst a slave society built upon the concept of white supremacy in a racial hierarchy. Laws curtailed and denied their rights seemingly in every conceivable way, from prohibiting their legal testimony against whites to barring them from the ballot box. Whites attempted to control them through classification, variously and contradictorily terming them "negroes," "mulattoes," "mustees," "Indians," "mixed--bloods," or simply "free people of color". The last of these was the only one which these people seemed to accept for themselves, and make their own. But while these free people of color faced every conceivable attempt to deny them of power and personhood, they succeeded in raising families, building communities, establishing businesses and organizations, and enabling them to flourish. Some even rose to economic prominence in their own communities, even gaining the respect of their white neighbors. And often both groups interacted: in business, in churches, and even in families. My guest Warren Eugene Milteer, Jr., has written three books about free people of color: Hertford County, North Carolina's Free People of Color; North Carolina's Free People of Color, 1715-1885; and Beyond Slavery's Shadow: Free People of Color in the South. As you can see from the tiles, they have moved from investigating a North Carolina county, to gradually encompassing the entire American South. This is therefore a very comprehensive and purposeful project; as you'll find out in our conversation, it's also a deeply personal one. Warren Milteer is Assistant Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. For Further Investigation This is the third and final podcast of the month focusing on the experience of Black Americans in both slavery and freedom. In Episode 266, I had a conversation with Isabela Morales about the incredible story of the Townsend family; and in Episode 267, David Hackett Fischer described some of the regional cultures of Blacks in early America.

In 1609 a free man of African and European ancestry, Juan Rodriguez, left the Dutch ship Jonge Tobias anchored off Manhattan Island with “eighty hatchets and some knives” to set himself up in trading with the local Indians. Ashore in coming years he fought off Dutch rivals, married an Indian woman, and started a family, all the while prospering by trading in bear and beaver pelts. His is one of the many stories presented by David Hackett Fischer in his new book African Founders: How Enslaved People Expanded American Ideals, which examines nine Afro-European regional cultures in North America. Following in the footsteps of his previous books Albion's Seed, Liberty and Freedom, and Champlain's Dream, in African Founders, Fischer seeks to determine in this case how individuals both free and enslaved within these cultures “acted with purpose and resolve to change the ways that free and open systems worked in what is now the United States.” David Hackett Fischer is University Professor and Warren Professor of History Emeritus at Brandeis University. Author of numerous books in addition to those already mentioned, his Washington's Crossing won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize in History.

In his new book for Simon & Schuster, historian David Hackett Fischer argues that African history is American history. AFRICAN FOUNDERS draws on extensive research to show how enslaved Africans and their descendants enlarged American ideas of freedom in varying ways in different regions of the early United States. At a time when many states have banned Critical Race Theory from curriculums. And – seemingly everywhere – the debate rages on as parents and politicians insist that CRT doesn't belong in classrooms teaching American history. AFRICAN FOUNDERS emphasizing the fact that early Black Americans deserve to be recognized as founders of this nation. Join us when, Hackett Fischer, whose 2005 book Washington's Crossing won the Pulitzer Prize for History, reveals how much our country was shaped by these African influences in its early years, changing the landscape of American laws and ethics, and producing a new, distinctly American culture, on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.

John J. Miller is joined by David Hackett Fischer to discuss his new books, 'African Founders.'

In this episode we introduce Samuel de Champlain, without whom there might never have been a meaningful French presence in northern North America, largely through the work of the great historian David Hackett Fischer.

This book introduces four British folkways in America and identifies four cultural traditions that early English immigrants brought to North America. This book points out that four early British folkways of North America have been the most significant determining factors in modern-day American liberal society. Culturally, most Americans are Albion's seeds. As one of the best books on the early history of the United States, this book opens a window to American cultural origins from the perspective of folklore.

Dans le best-seller Le rêve de Champlain, paru en anglais en 2008, l'historien états-unien David Hackett Fischer propose un portrait romancé de celui qui est considéré comme le père de la Nouvelle-France. Sa vision d'un explorateur humaniste et apôtre de la tolérance a depuis été instrumentalisée par plusieurs politiciens voyant en lui un fondateur avant la lettre du Canada multiculturel. Cette conception ne résiste toutefois guère à l'épreuve des faits, comme nous l'a bien montré l'historien Michel De Waele entrevue à 3600 secondes d'histoire.

Six months after the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution was all but lost. A powerful British force had routed the Americans at New York, occupied three colonies, and advanced within sight of Philadelphia. Yet, as David Hackett Fischer recounts in this riveting history, George Washington--and many other Americans--refused to let the Revolution die. On Christmas night, as a howling nor'easter struck the Delaware Valley, he led his men across the river and attacked the exhausted Hessian garrison at Trenton, killing or capturing nearly a thousand men. A second battle of Trenton followed within days. The Americans held off a counterattack by Lord Cornwallis's best troops, then were almost trapped by the British force. Under cover of night, Washington's men stole behind the enemy and struck them again, defeating a brigade at Princeton. The British were badly shaken. In twelve weeks of winter fighting, their army suffered severe damage, their hold on New Jersey was broken, and their strategy was ruined. Fischer's richly textured narrative reveals the crucial role of contingency in these events. We see how the campaign unfolded in a sequence of difficult choices by many actors, from generals to civilians, on both sides. While British and German forces remained rigid and hierarchical, Americans evolved an open and flexible system that was fundamental to their success. The startling success of Washington and his compatriots not only saved the faltering American Revolution, but helped to give it new meaning. Description courtesy of Amazon

David Hackett Fischer discusses his book "Washington's Crossing"

David Hackett Fischer discusses his book "Washington's Crossing"

Historian David Hackett Fischer discusses the related, yet distinct concepts of liberty and freedom in this archived lecture. Expanding on his 2004 book, Liberty and Freedom: A Visual History of America's Founding, he describes the different meanings of the words at the Founding, and how their meanings have evolved and been applied by Americans since. The post Liberty vs. Freedom appeared first on Teaching American History.

Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Hackett Fischer joined the Ashbrook Center's 2006 Presidential Academy program to deliver a lecture on The Revolutionary Era. He explored questions including: How did the American colonists define liberty and freedom as they sought to secure their independence from mother England? During the Revolutionary War, what difficulties did the Americans face in fighting for liberty while maintaining the supremacy of civilian over military authority?

Ok, Ok, you're a super-rational public radio listener but you live in a place drenched in supernatural legend. In fact, historians like David Hall and David Hackett-Fischer have argued that the new world was imbued with notions of magic and superstition from Jumpstreet. One of the paradoxes of the Puritan migration was that even as they imported a belief system that rejected popish superstition in favor of what they saw as leaner, cleaner Calvinist faith, they somehow also brought all kinds of magical nuttiness. And, you could say it never left. Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
