Thick and chunky Swedish Intervention in the 30 Years by John of History Shmistory. We tell the tale of Gustavus Adolphus, the prophesized Lion of the North, who dies on the field of conflict at Lutzen. Before that though, he looked to be well on his way to ruling a protestant Empire in Germany. Fighting from the age of 17 until his death, he is a man of contrasts. A capable administrator who had good taste in counselors, but a King nonetheless, and his armies ravaged the countryside of Germany. Also, Wallenstein is back. And at the end, we are in a different place then we were before and peace is once again avoided by all parties involved.
Outro: A Lifetime of War by Sabaton from their very terrific album "Carolus Rex"
Based on the definition of genocide presented in the Geneva Convention, the United States government committed genocide on the Native American people. Jeremiah explains why. This is the court case he refers to. Content Warning for explicit sexual trauma.
This episode is about Fannie Lou Hamer, a black female sharecropper living in poverty who went on to found an integrated Democratic Party in Mississippi and fight against racial and economic injustice in the United States. Included at the end of the episode is her testimony before the Credentials Committee of the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, NJ on August 22,1964.
We have made to the year 1628! Wallenstein is on the rise, Christian of Denmark is probably drunk, and Germany is being destroyed. Before the end of the pod Gustavus Adolphus will depart from Sweden to invade Germany and Wallenstein will be dismissed. Listen to discover the juicy middle bits and a little information on early newspaper and political satire! Thanks for listening, we love you all. Also, friend of the pod Getulio showed up to the Shmistory Chateau somewhere in the middle of the recording.
If it wasn't explicit in the episode, solidarity with the protesters against police brutality and for racial equality and human dignity. Donate money to your local bail fund.
This episode is about Boudica, who bravely rallied her people to fight the Romans. They didn't last long so it's a short episode. Getulio was there too. We all made alot of promises.
There's a guy named Boston George. He is the Dutch in this scenario. The Portuguese have product for Boston George. You know Boston George is getting his cut. How did we get here? Listen and find out the tale of sailing and spices and exploitation of native populations and battles. Have fun!
Pt. 4. I think we are at like 1629. Twenty more years to go. On this episode, the less impressive king of two Scandinavian Protestants quickly enters and exits the fray. TLDR: Catholics under Ferdinand doing well, France backs Denmark, Denmark loses, Catholics under Ferdinand doing well (?). Thousands of people being eaten out of house and home by wandering armies. A decade of war.
Prior to the start of the Civil War, when it became clear that there was a growing movement against slavery and a growing party which counted abolitionists as its members, South Carolina decided to secede. Before it did that, it readied secession commissioners to go out amongst the southern states, proclaiming the oncoming tide of racial depredations and uprooting of the treasured institution of chattel slavery of Black people in the U.S.A. (land of the free, home of the brave). Jeremiah is a history major now so now you will be taking his classes with him.
