In this installment we consider how the social structure of past societies generally differs from present ones, and also the specific social and cultural cleavages in early Colonial America. Indians, Puritans, Quakers, Cavaliers, Borderers, and a mass of indentured servants and slaves — the first big spasms of collective violence deal with enemies without and within.
This one may have a slightly different energy from the first installment, as a technical problem meant I had to re-record this a second time. Hopefully you still enjoy it.

Edit 10/19: Slight revision to file to cure some voice weirdness. No substantive change.
