S5 Ep 9: The Age of the Borderlands.

Ways To Subscribe

Andrew Isenberg joins us again to discuss his new book, "The Age of the Borderlands: Indians, Slaves and the Limits of Manifest Destiny." In the book, he explains the nature of how America expanded west. With Tribes living there, the weak US government, missionaries and those escaping slavery migrating to the borderlands between the US and other world powers, we see a very complicated story. We hope you enjoy this fascinating conversation of scenes around the country and as well as the Dakota in the 19th century."
