About this listen

 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.ERIC YANIS World

    The tale of the Province of Carolana is a story full of more myths and dreams than realities. A story full of twists and turns in England, Virginia and Barbados. Carolana led the way to Carolina, but caused intrigue in Florida, Louisiana and strangely put to bed over land in the Mohawk Valley of New York.
