1720-1730: The South Sea Crash & Steady Colonial Life
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
In the 1720s, wild dreams of easy riches crashed hard in Britain’s South Sea Bubble, while ordinary families in the American colonies kept clearing land, raising children, and holding to faith and hard work.
Jim Rand explores the dramatic financial collapse of 1720, the leadership of Robert Walpole, Father Rale’s War, the founding of Baltimore, and the quiet strength of colonial communities. This episode highlights the contrast between reckless ambition and the resilience of self-reliant people building generational stability.
A powerful reminder that real stability comes from careful work, faith, and vigilance — not from get-rich-quick schemes.
