BECOMING BARNUM: The Journey to Fame and Fortune

We Have Got Quite Territory Enough  - Episode 20

This episode of Becoming Barnum discusses letters containing political remarks and comments about war—content somewhat different from what we’ve seen up to this point. Barnum was not referring to the Mexican-American War. Still, there is a connection between the Mexican-American War and the potential war with England that he was writing about—a war that didn’t happen, thankfully.
