Podcasts about queen anne's war

Queen Anne's War may have ended but the fighting between Britain and France continued in a series of proxy wars using Native American tribes. I talk about this and more in part two of my look at Francis Parkman's A HALF-CENTURY OF CONFLICT.

The War of The Spanish Succession for the most part fought in Europe was still a huge, global affair just shy of what we would call a true “World War”. In Colonial America the war took the form of a number of French and Indian Wars mostly being fought in the 13 British Colonies. Queen Anne’s War was one of these and it was fought between the French and British with Native American tribes allied to both sides. By the mid 17th century British colonists in Massachusetts began settling the Connecticut River valley. This push westward put them into direct contact with the Pocumtoc nation, a native Algonquin-speaking tribe. By the 1660’s the Pocumtoc were under heavy pressure from the nearby Mohawk nation and had been hit extremely hard by European infectious diseases that they had no natural protection or immunity from. At the same time settlers from the town of Dedham began acquiring land from a number of Pocumtoc people, setting up a full village in 1670. The village was on the edge of the Massachusetts colony which made it’s isolation almost complete. Help if and when it was need would be a long while coming. The town was eventually called Deerfield. Back in Europe, Queen Anne's War, took the predictable form of most European conflict's. Set piece battles with large armies like at Blenheim were the norm. That was not the case on the frontiers of New England. Hit and run tactics, raids, and units of men in the tens not thousands were common. In the summer of 1703 French and Wabanaki forces started the Northeast Coast Campaign. Raiding villages and settlements throughout Southern Maine, the French/Wabanaki offensive was a success. Fear soon raced through each community on the frontier, forcing them to ready themselves for attack. In Deerfield, the villagers set about improving the low palisade. The hope was that, the defenses, would be enough. Leading the French/Native forces was Jean-Baptiste Hertel de Rouville, a veteran raider. Moving out from his base in Canada, Rouville went south with 250 men. Along the march, he added another 40 Pennacook warriors. Aware of the enemy movements, the Colonial government sent Deerfield 20 militiamen. The town went on high alert, which meant everyone slept within its walls. On the 28th of February 1704, de Rouville set up camp a short distance from the village. The villagers went about their day, as Native American scouts stalked the town. The scouts noticed a weakness in the town wall, a snow drift. the late February snow had piled tight and high against the outer wall. It would allow the raiders to scale the towns only real defense, with ease. Right before sunrise a small group of attackers climbed over the wall and moved to open the North Gate. At that moment Deerfield held 291 sleeping, unaware souls.

Episode 2 - Show Notes In our second episode, we take a step back from history to discuss our faith, education, and plans for the podcast. You will learn the random ways we discovered our love of history: with Lilia her interest in history began with learning about Vlad the Impaler (Dracula); and with Jake it started with a trip to a colonial history museum in Deerfield, Massachusetts. Our faith and interest in history grew at the University of Dallas, where we met each other while studying abroad in Rome. We hope this podcast will help others learn about Catholic history along with us. Join us next time as we discuss St. Thomas More. References: * University of Dallas - the Rome program https://udallas.edu/rome/index.php St. Bede the Venerable - A patron saint of historians and a Doctor of the Church, who we reference in the podcast's name. He was a Benedictine priest who lived his life in prayer and study in the late 7th/early 8th century in Anglo-Saxon England. He is most famous for writing The Ecclesiastical History of the English People, which is a foundational work of church history. Eusebius of Caesarea - The important early church historian who set down the history of the church from Jesus to Constantine in his Ecclesiastical History. He also preserved fragments of many texts that are now lost. He lived in the 4th century and was a bishop of Caesarea. One reason his is not considered a saint is that he may have been, at least for a time, sympathetic to the Arian heresy. Raid on Deerfield - This was the famous attack on Deerfield, Massachusetts during Queen Anne's War that Jake learned a little about during a childhood visit, sparking an interest in Native American history. (Correction to the podcast: Deerfield was subject to this one famous raid, not multiple attacks) Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Fine example of 1990s vampire culture.

Edward Teach was one of the most notorious pirates based in the Caribbean during the early eighteenth century. A former Royal Navy sailor, he took up piracy after Queen Anne's War brought him from England to the Bahamas and cut a fearsome figure. Known as "Blackbeard" due to his signature facial hair, Teach's beard was said to be so long that he could braid it and put ribbons in it. His main tactic was intimidation, rather than outright violence, as he would approach other ships waving a pirate flag, wearing slow burning fuses under his hat, and making demands. His most successful capture was demanding the small settlement of Charles Town in South Carolina hand over medicine and treasure under threat of killing prisoners. He actually killed no one, but returned them after receiving his demands. This made him infamous to many British colonial leaders, most especially Virginia Governor Alexander Spotswood. Spotswood extralegally contracted the Royal Navy Lieutenant Robert Maynard to lead a small party against Blackbeard. On a surprise raid, Maynard killed Blackbeard after Blackbeard boarded his ship. Although Blackbeard was an active pirate for just about two years, he would become one of the most famous pirates in history.

We move deeper into the eighteenth century with the next major conflict between France, England, and Spain. Known as Queen Anne's War in North America, the roots of the conflict deal with issues on the continent related to who would occupy the Spanish throne. In the English colonies, many of the issues from the previous war remained unresolved and would fuel violence in New England and in the south. In spite of some success, after several failed expeditions into the heartland of New France, Canada survived. Join us!
