Today, I was a guest on Evelyne Joslain's Radio Courtoisie for the Second Part of America's 250th birthday celebration: An American Retrospective: from George Washington to Teddy Roosevelt and Donald Trump (audio at link).
The first part, on June 24, was a history stroll through the first half century of the American Republic, from about 1756 to 1815, from the French and Indian War and the Boston Tea Party through the revolutionary years and the writing of the Constitution until Jefferson's purchase of the Louisiana territory and the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Today's second podcast — Une Rétrospective américaine : de George Washington à Teddy Roosevelt et à Trump, avec Erik Svane — treats the next couple of centuries of American history, focusing on the first hundred years, with the War of 1812 and the Texas Revolution through the conquest of the Wild West and the Civil War to the closing of the frontier and the Spanish-American War.
I am grateful that we have received lots of congratulations from people after the first podcast who added that they have learned a lot.
