Over the past 250 years, the United States of America have grown from 13 founding colonies to 50 states and multiple territories, but what does it take to become a state?
Why is expansionism so important?
And what about Native Americans?
In this episode, we explore how colonialism created a blueprint for modern America as we answer the question... how did the 50 states become the 50 states?
We're joined on this episode by Jacqueline Fear-Segal, Professor of American and Indigenous Histories at the University of East Anglia, with an interest in the American West, immigration and Americanisation.
