BBC - The Wild West - Worksheets to support the BBC series

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

Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World - Ep4 - Heavens Breed - Niall Ferguson

(0)
In this programme we discover how a few thousand British people ruled over India, a country of more than 250 million people and the centre point of the whole British empire. Niall Ferguson demonstrates the vital role played by the Indian army both within India and beyond, and the role of British technology in developing the army and modern Indian cities. Modern-day footage of the hill station at Simla gives us a glimpse of colonial life in late 19th century India. From the early 19th century an elite class of well-educated Indians was encouraged, with men like JN Bose becoming successful lawyers and administrators. In fact, the British administrators were so few in number that it was essential to involve Indian people in their own government. Yet by the end of the 19th century the White Mutiny threatened to end this liberal attitude and ultimately led to a genuine Nationalist movement. Looking at the Caribbean in the same period, Niall explores the conditions for black people after the abolition of slavery and the treatment of respectable black religious leaders such as George William Gordon.

Following the religious revival that started in the late 18th century, missionaries began working in Africa and India in an attempt to bring Christianity and civilization to societies perceived as heathens. We learn of David Livingstone’s adventures in Africa as he attempted to link the three 'C’s - Christianity, commerce and civilization. From his discovery of the Victoria Falls to his famous meeting with Henry Stanley, we follow the career of this fascinating character. Presenter Niall Ferguson also travels to India and examines the changing attitudes towards Indian religions and culture during the 19th century. He also traces the Indian mutiny of 1857 and its brutal aftermath in which thousands were brutally killed.

Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World - Ep2 - White Plague - Niall Ferguson

The concept of ‘plantation’ is explored in this program, yet presenter Niall Ferguson is not referring to crops but the settlement of British people into the colonies. Without this mass white emigration there would have been no empire. Visiting Northern Ireland, the USA and Australia, we explore how the first colonies of the British empire developed. In contrast to the Spanish, the British viewed the colonies as a way to gain land to settle on and use, rather than just conquest and plunder. The east coast of the USA was first settled by puritans wanting religious freedom, including those who sailed on the famous ship ‘The Mayflower’ in 1620. The combination of cheap land and abundant natural resources made this an ideal location for sugar and tobacco plantations. Niall goes on to describe the American War of Independence a century and a half later. From Native American Indians to the Aborigines of Australia, the indigenous people of the ‘New World’ were treated appallingly, with little or no respect for land rights. One of the great ironies of the British empire is the difference between official policy in London and the actions of white settlers in the colonies.
