Extra History
We'll often pick one part of a larger period to focus on. Our mini-series are meant to be short pieces that give people enough information to make them interested in a topic and motivate them to do more research on their own. We never expect to be the be-all-end-all resource on any given topic, nor that we can cover the full history of any complicated subject in only four episodes. But we hope to be a great touching-off point!

South Sea does sound pretty neat.

Voted for the South Sea Company, partially because I'm curious why James cited that as the first bubble market, rather than Tulipmania...
Brian Rose
"10" should be 8.

Though I voted for the Run Up to the US Civil War, I now feel I have to clarify: you guys know that you can't do the entire 1848-1860 period justice in just 4-6 episodes, right? You'd either have to do a longer series (something like 10 episodes at least), or focus on particular period (like the secession crisis).

I voted for South Sea Company seeing as that is something I know very little about. Second choice would be the Julius Caesar one because I think his life story is kind of awesome, but all of the choices seems fine.

Im hoping to learn of the events leading up to the civil war.

I would like very much to know more about the spanish inquisition.
Russell Wishard
It's probably like the Vietnam War in America. It's not something people like to talk about, which only assures that something similar will happen again.
Russell Wishard
I've never heard of the South Sea Company, so I suppose it's time I learned more. I voted for the run up to the civil war, though. There are some disturbing parallels between the politics then and now, although no one has been beaten to a pulp in Congress during our current disagreements.
Mask
A lot of interesting options. I'll be happy regardless of which one wins.
Matt Herbert
Even though I had to vote for one, I do want to add that they all sounded great!
Steve
whats Spanish inquisition ?
Jesse Wallenfels
All 4 options sound awesome, as a heads up if you ever want to do an arc on ancient Assyria or Babylonia I can hook you up with a good history professor.
Edmund Vernier
I know the least about the South Sea Company... But I REALLY want to see you guys take on the Inquisition!
Tom Murphy
Spanish Inquisition it is then... Burn those who vote otherwise!
Dominic Puggi
The unexpected Spanish Inquisition!
Dara Robinson
Oh man, If he Spanish inquisition wins, what a story. I grew up in Spain and yet know so little, not a topic they teach much of in school.
Matthew Kotwasinski
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
