I analyzed the podcast, A History of Mail Order Brides in Early America and it was EXTREMELY interesting! I learned that women actually wanted to become mail order brides because they were treated so much better in North America! I really recommend listening to this podcast!

Pets and Social Change in Eighteenth-Century Britain

# data[].attributes.body
I analyzed the podcast "Animal Companions: Pets and Social Change In Eighteenth-Century Britain." As someone who loves animals, it was hard for me to pass this one up. It was interesting to learn about pets in early America and how pet keeping has changed over time and evolved into what it is today.

# data[].attributes.body
I analyzed this podcast on what effects a variety of animal species had on the early American colonists. I never realized how big of an impact animals had on their survival.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed learning about Betsy Ross and hearing about her small but significant role in the American Revolution.

# data[].attributes.body
I analyzed The Origins of the American Revolution. It was very interesting. I had never thought about the colonists deriving their ideas from the English Civil War, but now that makes a lot of sense to me.

# data[].attributes.body
I analyzed this podcast because I am a true animal lover and when I saw the topic I could not resist listening. I am very glad at the changes that have been made when it comes to keeping animals as pets.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose to listen to the podcast "Origin of the American Revolution" because I have always loved learning about this time in our history. I've seen countless movies, documentaries, and more and always enjoy learning more details about the time

# data[].attributes.body
I chose to do "Darkness Falls on the Land of Light, the Great Awakening in New England", as I am very much interested in the relation between our nation's history and the role of Christianity, namely since I am an Orthodox Christian, whereas most Christians in America are Protestant, and so the perspective that ruled our nation, and still holds heavy influence, is something that greatly interests me.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved this podcast! It gave wonderful insight into some of the many ideologies and events that inspired the American Revolutionists.

I really like how Bailyn looked at history in a totally different way. It gave me a lot of insight about how the revolution has been taught over the years.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been a huge fan of Hamilton the musical since it came out, but being able to learn the actual history of it was really interesting to me!

I enjoyed learning about the idea of pets in early America. The idea that anyone could have a pet was interesting. Also the fact that pets could be eaten and that wasn't uncommon and pets were often drowned as well.

TIPS & INSTRUCTIONS <you can erase these when you are done writing your response>

1.      The “Benjamin Franklins’ World” website include a list of questions and topics covered in each podcast in their series. As you prepare for your analysis, use these questions as a guide. Re-listen to the podcast if needed so you can take notes.

2.      To complete this assignment, you will also need to search JSTOR or AMERICA HISTORY AND LIFE for a review of the book referenced in the pod cast. Book reviews are a useful tool for gaining an understanding of a study’s main arguments. They are also one of the means by which scholars can praise or critic an academic work. You will use a book review to help you understand the main points of the scholar’s research.

3.      The following questions will help you analyze the podcast you selected. Please compose your responses in complete sentences and answer all of the questions posed in the left hand column.  It is likely that you will need to craft a well-structured paragraph (4-6 sentences) for most of the boxes below.

|  I. Identification  1. What is the title of the podcast you are analyzing? Who is the scholar being interviewed? What does the scholar research? What is the title of the book they are talking about in the podcast?  2. Identify the Book Review that you found through JSTOR or America History and Life. Who wrote it? What journal published it?    |  Pet’s in early America, Ingrid Tague. Where did the practice of Pet keeping originate, how did the tradition of Pet keeping in Great Britain and Early America begin, and Why did early American’s choose to keep pets and what were the different types of pets that early Americans choose to keep?  Animal Companions, Pets and Social change in 18 Century Britain.      I found the review on the book Animal Companion: Pets and Social Change in Eighteenth Century Britain, on American History and Life. The Review was written by Mike Kugler and it was published by Fides et Historia. Winter/Spring 2016, Vol 48 Issue 1, p176-179
|  II. Research Questions  What research questions did the scholar pursue in his/her research?  What did they hope to understand? How did they first begin pursuing this research?      |    What was Pet keeping like in Early America? It had its similarities to what it’s like now but also with plenty of differences, such as the fact that it wasn’t uncommon to eat your pet, drown your pet in a river, have a squirrel over a cat. The list goes on. Also, anyone with the means could have pets including Slaves, Whites, and Natives. The historian Ingrid was originally a European Culture Historian and one of the things got brought in her research were pets. She started to notice that they had as big of an impact in people back then as they do now. She wanted to see if there was a correlation between the bonds they shared with their pets and the bonds we have with them today.
|  III. Evidence  What type(s) of evidence (archives, etc) did the scholar draw upon in their research? What kinds of information did they glean from this evidence? Did they describe any challenges related to conducting research with these sources?  Note: If this information is not shared in the podcast, consult the book review you found. Most book reviews include this discussion of sources in their description of scholarly work.    |  I had to use the book review by Mike Kugler because She never really mentioned where she drew her evidence from. He states that she got a lot of her material from letters that had been written that discussed the family pet from different people and also paints from the time period, which I can 100% see beginning the case I have seen plenty of paints from the period that had dogs and birds in them along with people either playing with or watching them. Which would give plenty of evidence to back the fact that people did have pets and enjoyed them enough to be painted with their pets and the letters would have given the details to back the images. Ingrid did mention it was difficult to find information on how pets were kept by Africans and Natives, there was very little information on them most likely due to the fact that they were seen as lower beginnings and those with the ability to write did not see it worth writing about.
|  IV.  Key Ideas/Arguments  1. What are the big ideas/key arguments of the scholar’s research? Summarize these points in your own words, with minimal use of direct quotes.  2. How did their research contribute to or revise existing understandings of U.S. history? (to answer this question, you may find it helpful to consult the book review you found.    | Where did pets come from and why? What types of pets were they? What was their relationship like with their owners? Pets have been a thing in history for 1000’s of years but never really discussed. The want and need for a loyal companion has always been there and a pet often had more than just one use. Dogs were often used for hunting or protection and birds were used to carry notes, depending on the breed, animals have had a role in human life for a long time and have often had important bonds with us as well. This research showed a different side to early American history that we often do not see. A side where everyone was equal in that anyone could have a pet, a companion. It shows a more playful side to them as well. Not just the work all day then go to sleep, wake up, and do it all over again. It shows that they had time to train and play with an animal.
|  V.  Reflection  1. What are YOUR key take-aways from this podcast?  2. What did you most enjoy learning?  3. What questions did the podcast raise for you?    |  1.      The pet’s will always have a place in history no matter how small and they will grace our homes for many more years to come. 2.      I liked learning about the fact that anyone could have a pet including Natives and African slaves. Often you think they did not have a right to much of anything, but they had a right to pets which is amazing to me. 3.      I would have liked to know why the drowning of your pet was not seen as a terrible thing. She went over it so briefly and I would like to know more as to why such a terrible thing was ok.

I loved learning about the aquatic culture in Africa. I learned so much about how Africans lived day to day before slavery and how swimming impacted them.

One thing I found very interesting is that when people no longer wanted pets, they would tie them in sacks and then drown them.

I had a lot of fun listening to this podcast about shoes in early America. It was fascinating for me to hear what all can be learned from a single pair of shoes.
