Intro

Today we're heading back 250 years to the end of the Revolutionary War - but this time, we're asking what might have happened if the British had won.

How would the revolutionaries have been punished? How might the colonies of North America have developed differently? And would independence have been achieved anyway?

Don once again welcomes Major Jonathan Bratten and Dan Snow to the podcast. Check out last week's episode 'Revolutionary War: When Was the Turning Point?' for more from Don, Dan and Jonathan.

Edited by Aidan Lonergan, produced by Sophie Gee. The Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
