a lot of rum, and also the knowledge of how to produce, is between the caribbean, north america, and britain. later on you also see rum in south asia and australia. rum is always on these ships. sometimes as a trade item. >> what impact does this industry have on the colonies? >> it becomes one of the largest industries in north american cities. there are about 140 distilleries throughout the british colonies. all the way from georgia, to new hampshire, even canada. this is a type of production, a larger scale of production that brings slavery that resembles plantation slavery from the caribbean. to places like boston, new york, philadelphia. >> what do you mean by that? >> the way the distilleries work in the northern cities, they would have as many as eight or 10 enslaved people working in them. they were supervised by a distillery. that is different than other industries as far as shipbuilding or making iron where the workers tended to work alongside each other. it is one of the larger uses of industrial slavery in the north. >> what impact does it have on slavery? >> the producti

the spanish colonization of north america, contributions of native american societies to development of the various colonies, manifest destiny and the american conquest of northern mexico. and the american west's role in the sectional crisis over slavery. we're going to examine them from a slightly different perspective. a few weeks ago we read about indian removal in the 19th century. and how it shaped and was shaped by the expansion of american democracy as well as the united states' expanding cotton economy. in your readings, indian nations like the cherokees, for example, were clearly victimized by the united states government in the state of georgia as well as land-hungry settlers, but the cherokee nation's willingness to adaptist practices and institutions illustrate how indians throughout north america continued well beyond the colonial era to change in creative and dynamic ways to make cocolonialism work as much as possible in their favor. with that in mind i want to revisit california today. when don't i want to revisit california? and consider the ways that california india

let's go live to our north america correspondent, david willis.nd on with this china trade dispute. but donald trump is really react in quite variously? well, i think the reason for that is that there is nothing which focuses the mind of a president seeking re—election than the state of the american economy. there has been word in the last few days but the us economy might be facing some sort of slowdown in the run—up to next year's november election. to somebody like president trump, who wastes no opportunity in telling anybody who will listen just how good the economy here is, that is the equivalent of a red rag to a bull. so he has been attempting to portray those economic soothsayers, if you like, as fake news. imagine, then, how he felt waking up today to hear that the chinese were slapping ta riffs hear that the chinese were slapping tariffs on $75 billion worth of american imports in a tit—for—tat move. now, the president responded by saying that the us does not need china, in fact, by saying that the us does not need china, infact, it by s

one of the things i really tried to impress upon you is when you look at native north america in general and when you look at the 17th century, it is important to understand that the societies are not static. write that down. societies are not static. they are not stuck in a state of development. they are not in a standstill state at this point. they are ever-changing. they are evolving. and developing. the second thing to understand is that they are not monolithic. they are not a monolithic society. this map shows that pretty clearly. this is not a perfect map, but it does capture some of the distinctions. you have a bunch of different groups. for the southeastern new england indians, they kind of share the algonquian lingual distinction, but there are still important distinctions between these communities. sometimes, they forge relationships with one another through trade and kinship. sometimes they are forming these bonds which are really important. other times they are competing with one another or power and resources. whether they try to kind of engage in one-upsmanship against one
