The War for North America April 16, 2025

Britain and France fought a series of wars that raged around the globe in what were in all but name the first world wars.  Fought for various reasons with different names they were all a contest to see who would be supreme as the preeminent power in Europe and as a consequence as the leading colonial power.    These wars lasted with several breaks from 1689 to 1763 only to be renewed later on in the Napoleonic Wars.

When the Imperial government began levying taxes directly, the colonials and their assemblies promptly complained and petitioned for a redress of grievances.  When they refused to pay, the Imperial government sent tax collectors and customs agents.  When they attacked these agents of the crown the government sent troops.  When the colonials began to stockpile weapons and drill militia the troops marched and so a brewing crisis in the colonies would spell the end of the first British Empire.

In “God Has Us Where He Wants Us” S4 / E19 of I Took a Right Turn:Along with our usual weather report we speak about some recent interesting news stories.  Next, we play a few old songs: I Saw the Light, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, and They That Wait Upon the Lord.  Next we share one of our homegrown songs: Who Writes the Review.  Turning to the Bible, we look into Ephesians chapter two in a little different way.   In this reading of the first sentence of each of the first five paragraphs of the chapter points to where we came from, how we were changed, and what God’s plans for us are.  Robert reads another chapter from his book America Volume One: Colonial History – Chapter 18: “The War for North America.”  Each episode this season includes a reading of one chapter from this book.

The text of these readings is posted the day after the release of each episode at www.itookarighturn.com and www.drrobertowens.com  All of Robert’s thirty-nine books are available in paper back and kindle through Amazon.  We also invite everyone to visit our online art store, The Pair a Docs Shop where we offer our original paintings, prints and merchandise.
