Listen Later

THIS WEEK! We are joined by Matt Taylor! And we discussed how African American slaves escaped the chains of Slavery, and ended up as Colonial Marines for The British Empire. During The Napoleonic War, America decided they thought it would be easy to grab some new land in the Canadian Provinces, and decleared a war on Britain. However an unknown history in the Anglo American war was the used of escaped Slaves as soldiers against the Americans. In this weeks episode we discuss how some of these soldiers escaped, and how they would gain freedom from Slavery by fighting for The British Empire against The Americans. All this, in this inspiring tale from slavery to Freedom on "Well That Aged Well", with "Erlend Hedegart".
