A podcast series from the Migration Museum exploring 400 years of emigration from Britain.
Mass emigration from England first took off in the 17th century with the colonisation of America and the Caribbean. The number of people leaving the shores of England was huge and unprecedented. Mukti Jain Campion speaks to historian James Evans, author of Emigrants: Why the English Sailed to the New World and to American historian Professor Linford Fisher to find out how those early English settlers fared and how Native Americans responded to the incursion of their lands.
