Summary

No, no, no, no--Cortes would’ve gotten his butt whooped if he had not gained lots of indigenous help.” -Josh It’s time to end Volume III: “The Age of Jackson!” We have more corrections on Greg’s pronunciation (and on fracking!), an Antarctic email (no joke), other updates, and--of course--historical analysis to tie together the whole volume. We’re talking Andrew Jackson’s presidency, the extension of American democracy, western settlement, and the Mexican-American War. Finally, we’ll end with a little hint on where Volume IV is going.

Alright, so here we go. Epilog time. I am joined by Josh. What's up everybody?

1:18.0

And CL. What was that greeting, Josh? I don't know. You got very nervous there. I got nervous for a second. Like what am I going to say?

1:24.0

Dude, how am I going to greet?

1:26.0

I'm going to say this hour. Literally every other week. It's okay. That's okay, Josh. We're here for you if this gets scary. Just let us know.

Pretty close. We don't really have a set number. It's just where it makes sense.

1:55.0

Right. We don't make ourselves make the history fit into a certain number of episodes. Just tell the cool stories.

2:02.0

Exactly. Then when it makes sense to kind of overview, we get our overview on. Let's do this.

2:07.0

But first of all, let's establish how I can pronounce a damn thing.
