Jamie is articulate and presents things really well. However the amount of material produced is extraordinarily slow compared to others. We'll get a single episode in a month and it's 10 minutes long, most of which is him reading a declaration or article verbatim. This takes minimal effort to do but will sometimes be the basis of 2 or 3 episodes running and months of work. He's obviously busy with other things and it shows in the podcast which is a shame.
1764?? Can't be that. What year should that be?

Thank you for this look at American history. I have really enjoyed it
actually, they were actualy trying to spread the Catholic religion not Christianity. (there's a difference in the two religions)😉
Easier Peter, we all make mistakes. After all, this is a podcast done on his own time, and is not info you are going to need to pass an exam. Im sure he wishes to pass along complete, an accurate info. Also, i highly doubt there is a grand conspiracy to deceive any of us. That being said, you are of course right Peter, about it NOT being bloodless, nor was it supported by the majority, although im sure it was supported by SOME OF the people, lol
Nice intro music!
1688 was NOT bloodless and was NOT supported by "the people." You would fail O-level history for asserting this Protestant propaganda view.
