Welcome to the History of the Americans podcast, episode 205.

I'm your host, Jack Heneman, and we are recording this episode on March 18, 26, in New Orleans.

We are telling the history of the lands now encompassed by the United States from the beginning without intentional presentism.

About a year ago, we launched the first episode of the King Phillips War saga.

And since then, virtually all the timeline episodes, and even four of the sidebars,

have featured war and rebellion, which are always fun.

Eastnicks not to fear, just around the corner will spend a bunch of time with the Quakers in West Jersey

and the founding of Pennsylvania in 1681.

Fortunately, before that nonviolent moment,

we have one last colonial civil war,

again a century before the American Revolution,

the Pueblo revolt of 1680,

in which an alliance of Pueblo and peoples, led by a mysterious religious man named

Poppe, launched a surprise attack that forced the Spanish entirely out of New Mexico, 82 years

after they had first settled it. As longstanding and attentive listeners may come to appreciate,

Puppet's rebellion would combine elements from King Phillips War in New England and Opa Cancano's surprise

attack in Virginia in March 1622. Puppet was more successful than both of those leaders. It's been quite some time since we

were in New Mexico, most recently back in December 2022, in episode 98, a kingdom of God on the Rio Grande,

in which we looked at the 70 years between the founding

of Santa Fe and 1610 up to the Pueblo Revolt in 1680.

We performed the almost miraculous feat of covering seven decades in one episode, because the history

of that period is riven with gaps.
