In this podcast Tracy DW aims to shed some light on more of our forgotten heroes; those African and other ethnic men and women who fought side by side with the British during the Battle of Trafalgar and also recognize their contribution to Britain's victory in the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815). This podcast compliments the future publication ‘The Battle of Trafalgar - The Victory behind Horatio Nelson.’ However, two previous podcast episodes 'The Book of Negroes - How Africa came to Nova Scotia' and the previous episode to this podcast 'Victorian Revolutionaries' provide more context for learning related to this episode. Two poetic narratives which we also recommend are 'Caribbean Rush' https://mybook.to/CaribbeanRushpaperbk and one of our latest publications 'Bite from the Big Apple - a story for New York'  https://mybook.to/bitefromthebigapple Through her podcasts, Tracy DW promotes a global approach to understanding history and invites you to share her learning journey about Britain's colonial past. She asks the question 'History is...a matter of fact or perspective?' and invites you as the listener to explore possible answers.
