On Colonies

Besides having to work a bit over here, another reason why I've been a little slow in cranking out posts is because I've been trying to keep up with Steve Gilliard's series on colonial wars--now at seventeen posts and counting.

Though it's rather long, the series is very good, and I recommend it highly to anyone who'd like to learn a bit about the legacy of the "white man's burden" and how that continues to affect areas once slated for "uplifting and Christianization."
