American History is far more complicated than a yearlong High School class could ever teach you. This podcast will tell you the rest of that story, focusing on colonies you've never heard of, that may be at your front door, like New Netherland and New Sweden, New France, the Haudenosaunee and the lampooned "Articles of Confederation," that serve as footnotes in the history presented to you. Join Eric Yanis, a NYS Certified Social Studies and SWD teacher, as he guides you through the history left out of the textbook.

New Albion: Sir Edmund and the Knights of New Albion (1642-49)
Sir Edmund Plowden (or Ployden) designs an American Colony for which he and his seventeen children will rule as lords over feudal estates, aided by the Knight of New Albion, intent on spreading Catholicism by the book or the sword. However, the territory granted to Sir Edmund by King Charles I overlaps that of New Netherland, New Sweden, an offshoot of the New Haven Colony and the Leni Lenape. Despite the overwhelming challenges ahead, Sir Edmund sails to the New World to set them all straight.

The Wampanoag III: Wampanoag Antebellum (1625-1671)
An often overlooked period in Wampanoag history is the period of time between the height of Ousamequin's power among the Wampanoag in 1624-25 and his son Metacomet's decision to attack the settlers at Swansea in 1675. However, this period is full of Native politics, suspected poisonings, fraudulent wills, a rumors of war.

Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Colonies (1642-1671)
Looking to remove himself from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Thomas Mayhew purchases the right to settle and set up a government on islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket from the Earl of Stirling, and gradually purchases the land from the Wampanoag. Mayhew settles the Vineyard and later sells off Nantucket to a like minded group of friends and extended relations under Tristram Coffin. Both Island co-exist as separate colonies ran by their proprietors as if it were a joint stock company. Eventually they are annexed by a larger colony... and it's not the one you think.

John Scott: The President of Long Island (1664)
An indentured servant boy with a questionable origin story, supposedly inherits a large piece of Long Island from a Native American leader, selling much of it each new buyer has a vested interest in John Scott's claim being legitimate. What follows is a story of conflict and takeover of the New Netherland Colony, treason against the Connecticut colony as its' Long island settlements pull away, pregnant women smuggling objects into prison, all the while John Scott reinventing himself, often falling upwards in life, and helping to shape the boundaries (and existence) of three US States. Believe as much or as little of this story as you wish...
