BBC Teach > Secondary Resources > KS3 / GCSE History > Migration
Historian David Olusoga tells the story of the Palatines, one of a number of groups of European migrants who came to Britain in the 18th century to escape poverty, religious persecution and seek a better life.
In 1709, in an area in Blackheath in south London, 13,000 German migrants called the Palatines formed what became regarded as Britain’s first refugee camp.
They spoke different languages and belonged to different churches and became a curiosity for thousands of Londoners of the period.
Most hoped to travel on to Carolina in the New World, after promises of work and prosperity, but in the end only a few made the trip to North America, and many returned to Germany.
Olusoga meets Dr. Brodie Waddell from Birkbeck at the University of London, who is an expert on this period.
This short film is from the BBC series, Migration.

Search - BBC Teach - Class Clips - History KS3 / GCSE: The story of British indentured workers emigrating to America
Four hundred years ago all manner of children, teenagers, and young men and women, mainly from the poorest families, were sent, often against their will, to board ships leaving from Bristol across the Irish Sea, and into the Atlantic Ocean.
They were sent to meet the growing demand for cheap labour in Britain’s newly created colonies in North America.
From 1610 to American independence in 1776, half a million people left Britain for North America.Some were political and religious dissenters, like the Puritans, Quakers and the Irish and Scottish Presbyterians.And some were convicts, sent by the British government to clear out its overcrowded prisons.
But around half - that’s a quarter of a million - were indentured servants.
And most were sent against their will.
In this short film David Olusoga meets writer Don Jordan, who tells the stories of some of these young people.

BBC Teach - Class Clips - Jewish migration to Manchester in the late 1800s
Search - BBC teach - Class Clips - History KS3 / GCSE: Jewish migration to Manchester in the late 1800s
BBC Teach > Secondary Resources > KS3 / GCSE History > Migration
In this short film for secondary schools historian David Olusoga visits Manchester which, along with the other industrial manufacturing towns surrounding it, acted as a magnet for waves of economic migrants from all over the world.
In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, 30,000 Jewish migrants from Russia and Eastern Europe settled in Manchester.
David Olusoga meets Janice Haber and her family, the descendents of Jewish migrants, and talks to historian Ruth Percy who describes how Conservative politicians and right wing newspapers of the time exploited economic concerns associated with the new migrants, stoking up racist xenophobia against migrants like the Jews, which would become familiar throughout the 1900’s.
The arrival of the Jews and other migrants led to changes in the law, and to the emergence of modern immigration legislation – laws that persist to this day.

The Irish migrants who moved to Liverpool in the Industrial Revolution
During the 1800s tens of thousands of poor Irish labourers and their families left Ireland to find work in Britain during the Industrial Revolution.
Large numbers came to, and settled in, Liverpool, and faced terrible conditions.
Cholera and other diseases spread and their arrival eventually promoted the beginning of the British public health system.
Historian David Olusoga visits Liverpool Public Record Office and meets local historian Sam Caslin, who is an expert on this period in Liverpool’s history.
This short film looks at the contribution of Irish migrants to Britain’s Industrial Revolution, and how this country owes much of its transport network and housing stock to their work here.

Search - BBC Teach - Class Clips - How British migrants made fortunes working for the East India Company
European powers started trading with India from the early 1500’s.
At first, all British trade was dominated by the London based East India Company, which was granted the monopoly on trade with India in 1600.
Over the following 200 years the company became increasingly prominent in the European trading routes with India.
Historian David Olusoga, meets Professor Margot Finn, an expert on the period, and profiles the Russell family who purchased Swallowfield House near Reading, which is today a block of luxury flats.
The house symbolises how these so called Nabobs, British migrants in the employ of the East India Company, returned from India as extremely wealthy men, which allowed them to establish themselves at the higher end of the British class system.

BBC Teach - Class Clips - Black Tudors - Worksheet to support the David Olusoga clip
A short film for secondary schools, presented by David Olusoga, which explores the lives of some of the hundreds of black migrants who were in England during the Tudor period.
Olusoga visits The National Archives in Kew, where he meets Dr. Miranda Kaufmann.
They discuss John Blanke, a trumpeter in the court of Henry VIII, who was so well established that he actually submitted a request for a pay rise, and a diver, Jacques Francis, who gave evidence in a court case.
Dr. Kaufmann concludes that some black people in England were accorded greater privileges than many white English people at the time.

Drama-documentary series telling the story of the American West and its people
Ep1 - Custer’s last Stand -Was Custer’s Last Stand, pitting 366 men against 2,000 braves, nothing more than a suicide mission - or was there method to his madness? The common preconceptions of this iconic battle are stripped away as new research shows that, against all odds, Custer was close to pulling off a remarkable victory. And his actions, far from foolish, were based on a brutally simple and far-from-glorious plan
Ep2 - Billy The Kid - This episode focused on Billy The Kid - whether he really deserved his infamy as a ‘badman’ and whether he should be posthumously granted a Pardon. The general consensus of considered opinion is that he should be granted this Pardon
Ep3 - The Gunfight at The O.K. Corral -In 1881 Virgil Earp, marshal of Tombstone, suspects Billy Clanton and the McLaury brothers of stealing cattle and, backed up by his brothers Wyatt and Morgan and ‘Doc’ Holliday, challenges them to surrender near the OK corral. In the following thirty second shoot-out the suspected and unarmed thieves are shot in the back, leading to the Earps standing trial for murder - though they are exonerated by the judge, who also happens to be a relation. This retelling, along with commentaries, is a far darker version of the story in which the Earps are usually represented as the unequivocally good guys
