- Description
- In the 1600s, Europe had teeming populations, it was impossible to acquire land, there were virtually no economic opportunities and even less religious tolerance.
Waves of settlers came to the "Province of Mayne" to take advantage of its abundant natural resources. Despite backbreaking work, an unbelievably harsh climate and cultural differences among the French, Native and English populations, the settlers carved out a new life for themselves.
They traded furs, created a fishing industry and supplied lumber for barrels, masts and even houses in the Caribbean. Initially, the mutually beneficial trade relationships created confidence between the Native and English populations. But as Natives began to be crowded off their lands and trust between the English and Natives broke down, a series of wars broke out that would destroy any hope for lasting peace between the two populations. By the end of the century, most of the English settlers would leave Maine in fear ...

- Description
- The Frontier Wars were a series of six wars spanning nearly a century that devastated populations in Maine. From the dawn of European exploration in North America until the start of the Frontier Wars, Maine's rich natural resources were the source of tremendous profits for French traders and English settlers. However, land disputes, tensions about resource allocation and European wars combined to trigger intense strife and armed conflict between Maine's English, French and Native populations.
To make matters worse, European monarchies saw the Province of Maine as a bargaining chip in their endless disputes; when war would begin in Europe, the bloodshed would usually spill over into the colonies and, when treaties would be signed, Maine would be one of many spoils of war.
Ultimately, the Frontier Wars had a permanent and chilling effect on the relations between English settlers and Native Americans. What had begun as a fairly harmonious relationship between two...

- Description
- During the American Revolution, citizens in what was then the Province of Maine experienced tremendous hardship, shifting loyalties, huge losses of property and land, and dramatic population shifts.
Maine had been the theater of intermittent warfare for nearly 100 years starting in 1675 with King Phillips’ War and ending only in 1763 when peace was finally reached with the French.
Once the wars were concluded, the British demanded that the Americans contribute to the costs of defending and administering the expanded empire. They imposed a series of taxes on their colonists, without giving the colonists representation in Parliament. Patriots in Maine were some of the first Americans to rebel.

- Runtime

- Description
- Maine's population exploded after the Revolutionary War. Looking for land to farm, veterans and settlers from southern New England poured into Maine's unsettled forests between the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers. Feeling they had earned the free lands promised to them by the colonial government in return for supporting the War, these settlers claimed and cleared frontier lands in Maine instead of the remote Ohio land set aside for them.
At the same time, speculators like General Henry Knox, America’s first Secretary of War and Knox County’s namesake, used his influence to acquire large tracts of land for low prices with hopes of selling the land to this new wave of settlers to finance the lavish, aristocratic lifestyle to which he had become accustomed. The settlers, however, had other ideas.
This episode of HOME: The Story of Maine explores the conflict over who owned the land which shaped the political and cultural landscape of the Maine we know today.

- Description
- Have you ever wondered how Maine got its boundaries, or why it looks the way it does on a map? The idea of Maine’s independence from Massachusetts had its detractors, not just from the so-called slave states but even from within, and the northern and northeastern borders were still in dispute over two decades after Maine became a state in 1820.
This installment of HOME: The Story of Maine explores the tug-of-war with Canada, Britain and Massachusetts over Maine’s boundaries and provides a historical perspective on the bloodless “Aroostook War” of 1839 that eventually drew a line through Madawaska and Edmunston, New Brunswick and resulted in the creation of the military outposts of Fort Fairfield and Fort Kent.
Also examined in this program is the quick rise of Eastport as a thriving sea port to facilitate the illegal shipping of lumber to Britain in violation of President Thomas Jefferson’s trade embargo, which crippled Maine’s early forest economy...
