Everything Everywhere Daily - How Barbed Wire Shaped the West and the World (Encore)

When Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act of 1862, there was a rush of people who moved west to claim the free land that was offered. 

However, there was a problem. Creating physical divisions for plots of land on the prairie was difficult when there was no stone or wood. 

Eventually, there was a solution to the problem, which offered a cheap way to divide land…and created a whole host of new problems as well. 

Learn more about barbed wire and how it shaped the American West, warfare, and much more, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Joan of Arc

In 1428, a young girl from the village of Domrémy, France, audaciously set out to meet the heir apparent to the French throne, the Dauphin, and told him what he had to do to defeat the English occupying her country. 

She claimed that she was told what to do by God. 

Against all odds, the Dauphin took her advice, and it worked. After a series of military victories, the Dauphin was crowned king, and the young girl went on to become one of the greatest heroes in French history. 

Learn more about Joan of Arc, her incredible story, and how it changed French history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
