America's First Conspiracy

When we think of conspiracies in American history, 17th century Massachusetts is not typically what comes to mind. Nonetheless, proof of a diabolical colonial conspiracy may lie deep within the colonial muster rolls of King Philip's War.

Despite what you may have heard from people trying to sell you something, war is no picnic. It is and always has been a horrific act of organized killing, an expression of humanity's worst impulses. To drive that point home, I've collaborated with a bunch of other educators to tell stories of privation, injustice, and trauma in wartime - spanning from ancient Rome to the European colonization of Africa.

My opinion is neutral because the US had done a lot for Canada, but also the modern US is a bit of a mess, though so is Canada to be perfectly honest. American history interests me because much of what happens in American history also has effects on Canada and we aren't taught these things in school.

As someone who isn't American it's rare to find a history channel that doesn't pander to one side or the other when it comes to American history. Can't say I'd heard of King Philip's war anywhere apart from this channel either. Also, drafting the poor into war seems to be a global tradition. In any army it's usually the poor and the rural poor at it who make up the bulk. However the American version of it is stunning. I met a Vietnam veteran once whose main love of India stemmed from cheap weed and water buffalo meat that he had gotten in his time in Vietnam freaking out at the foliage and aiding and abetting war crimes. It seems korma is a cheap alternative to having friends at that age. 'Its a rich man's war but a poor man's fight'. It always has been.

Awesome video. Growing up on the Great Plains, King Phillip’s war was just a blip in history texts, so it’s cool to learn about this. Plus this shows nothing changes. It seems as if throughout American history we’ve more or less drafted people who don’t want to fight into the war and it’s hard in this one not to see parallels with America home front during the Vietnam War. One last aside too. It makes sense as they needed cattle for beef and leather but I always forget New England would have had a significant cattle industry for the time. This is much later but in the ranching areas of Nebraska, Wyoming and the Dakotas, a number of the first ranchers were part of the New England and mid-Atlantic upper crust. While they didn’t quite take the full on religious aspect with them, it’s interesting how in a way they continued on this tradition and basically continued with such commercial ventures, though by the 1880s it was the high plains and not the woods of New England.

I recently read Peter Guardino's "The Dead March" about the Mexican-American War with a focus on the perspectives of the common people (on both sides!). He spends considerable time covering how the Mexican Regular forces were recruited through conscription, and it's basically the same as you describe: local leaders filled quotas by selecting the "undesirables" of the community. So I wonder if this practice was fairly common throughout history. The Dead March is a good read if your interested in the subject, and the author goes into the reasons why they chose such people -- for example the Mexican economy was so poor, that the government couldn't afford to pay, or even feed, its soldiers regularly, and there was basically no way a soldier could support a family. Anyway, another great video. Keep up the good work!

The dust cover seriously gets in the way though...and it doesn't survive well when I am actively reading the book. As to resale...why on earth would I sell my books? That's like selling my children...not going to happen... ;)

I am with Andy here. Dust covers are annoying. I have a bunch in a box somewhere.

First time viewer, honestly I'm interested but struggling to pay attention. I really wish you had some maps or material to look at during the video

Great video. I would be interested to hear more about irrelegiosity in Puritanically dominated New England colonies, as well as some of the earlier Colonial history around what became our nation's capital, should you ever do such videos

Finally, someone else who hates dust covers/book jackets as much as I do.

I used to keep them on all my hardcover books until my wife got a baby rabbit and litter trained it so it could have free run of the house. Little known fact, but rabbits are related to mountain goats and love to climb, plus they hate dust covers so she tore them off all the books. Now, it just looks weird to have a book with a dust cover next to stacks of them without.

Atun-Shei have you read the new novel by Robert Harris set in Puritan New England? It’s called Act of oblivion. It came out this year. I think you might enjoy it. It deals with two regicides who escape England after the restoration and have to hide among the puritans of New England (king Philip’s war is even mentioned).

Can you please do a video about how you find many of your history videos? I watch a lot of historical youtube and you have one of the channels with material that no one else is covering. I think you said you have a degree in film making, but did you minor in history?
