History Of The USA - Explorers And Colonists

The earliest history of America,the native Americans and their sufferings; Columbus, Vespucci, Hudson, Cartier, de Leon and other early explorers and their Viking predecessors such as Leif Ericcson is described. They are followed by the French, English, and Spanish colonists (and lesser known ones such as Dutch with the doughty Peter Stuyvesant in New York and Swedes in Delaware). The series of French and Indian Wars see the emergence of Washington, the Braddock fiasco, and Wolfe's victory at Quebec, which lead to British supremacy in Canada and the colonies. But Parliament's insistence that the colonies pay the enormous debts which Pitt's expansionism had engendered angers the Americans and brews the Boston Tea Party and other prophetic stirrings of the American Revolution.
