BBC Teach - The story of British indentured workers emigrating to America 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 - Abolitionism and why it was opposed - Britain’s Forgotten Slave Owners Written to support the BBC Teach David Olusoga clip Search - Abolitionism and why it was opposed | History - Britain’s Forgotten Slave Owners Historian David Olusoga investigates the resistance to abolishing slavery among British slave owners, including the threat they perceived to the profitable overseas sugarcane industry. He deliberately contrasts William Wilberforce, leader of the abolitionists, with George Hibbert, a slave owner, who worshipped in the same church in Clapham. Olusoga also refers to the family of the Victorian Prime Minister William Gladstone, whose fortunes were based on sugar plantations in Guyana. Like other slave owners he points out that they were determined to protect their sole supply of labour- slaves. Olusoga also uses slave ledgers updated every three years from 1817 to 1834 to point out the high mortality rates among slaves - evidence of their poor treatment.

The early British settlers in India actively embraced Indian life and culture.

They also married Indian women or took Indian mistresses, leaving some 150 million people in the country today who have at least some British blood in their veins.

Through the medium of sand art, Dan Snow recreates a map of Europe on the beach in Blackpool. Dan’s sand map will reveal the geopolitics of the continent as it stood on the brink of war. The sequence of crises that took place often seems murky to the uninitiated. The mists of time and the recriminations of the parties involved have combined to make the events that led to war seem ambiguous and confusing. Now, using remarkable sand art, Dan brings his clarity of style and presentation to bear on the subject, shedding new light on our descent into a war that would touch the lives of millions across Europe and highlighting the reasons behind a conflict that is, all too fast, receding in our collective memory.

Travelling by water was an important part of Viking culture as it transported them overseas to distant lands as both invaders and as settlers. Neil Oliver travels to Oslo to find out how the Vikings’ skills as shipbuilders and sailors enabled them to travel so far from their homeland. Here, a close look at the famous Oseburg Ship reveals the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Vikings. Out at sea, on a replica of a Viking boat, he learns how they used the sun to navigate their way across the open sea, and in Russia he discovers how the Vikings overcame rapids and ice to travel up its mighty rivers to trade in the East. He finds evidence of an ancient settlement in Iceland from where Viking explorers embarked on journeys even further West, to become the first Europeans to discover North America.

Worksheet to support the Paxman BBC Great War video extract Jeremy Paxman introduces Lord Kitchener’s iconic patriotic recruitment campaign and tells us about the Pals regiments, which were formed of men from one local area or of the same profession. Lord Kitchener was Britain’s most famous living soldier in 1914, and newly appointed Minister of War. He launched a poster campaign on a huge scale, to persuade men to volunteer to fight. We see what the posters looked like, and hear about the different ways they encouraged men to sign up, inciting duty, fear of invasion and guilt. We see contemporary footage of public recruiting events, and hear how a patriotic mood swept the nation, causing men to enlist at unprecedented speed and scale.

Professor Robert Bartlett details Edward I’s expansionist designs on Wales, and his defeat of the two princes of Gwynedd, Llewellyn and Dafydd, in 1282. Edward’s chain of castles to consolidate control over his new territory are shown on a map. In Scotland, the failure of Edward’s plan to take control by exploiting the Scottish Succession Crisis is explained. His selection of John Balliol as a subordinate Scottish king, and subsequent invasion of Scotland when John showed independence is discussed. We hear about how Scottish resistance to English rule was strong, and discuss the leadership qualities of William Wallace, with images of many of the Scottish borderlands where battles were fought. The strategic use of Stirling Bridge by the Scots to defeat the English is shown in detail. The role of the Plantagenet failure to subdue the Scots in creating Scottish national identity is considered. This clip is from the BBC series The Plantagenets. Professor Robert Bartlett tells the story of the Plantagenets, England’s longest ruling dynasty. Fifteen kings from this one family dominated the nation for 331 years between the 12th and 15th Centuries, shaping the country’s politics and culture. Their story is one of conflict, brutality and intrigue, but also the birth of Parliament and a system of justice through the Magna Carta. The dynasty ended with decades of Civil War that tore the family apart. Search - BBC Teach - Class Clips - History KS4 / GCSE: Edward I, the Welsh and the Scots
