20: The Creole Case (Canadian Almost War 4)
America: Secret Wars is back with a five part series about the skirmishes between the US and Canada that almost led to a third war with the British Empire in the 1830s. In Part 4, Trevor is joined Bailey and Nic from Totalus Jeffianus (@jeffianus.bsky.social) to discuss the Creole Case, the struggle for emancipation in antebellum America, and how the slaver states wanted to use a war against British Canada to their own advantage.
