SUMMARY:𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗦 & 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡
DESCRIPTION:NATIVE COMMUNITIES & THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION \nWith Truman State University Emeritus Professor of History \nProfessor Daniel Mandell \nBefore the Revolutionary War\, New England’s Native communities were active in imperial politics\, sending delegates to seek the Crown’s protection against increasingly intrusive and corrupt colonial officials. But when war with England erupted\, many of the men went to serve in the local militia and Continental army\, or on naval privateers\, alongside white and black comrades. As a result\, after the war\, Native communities embraced democratic rhetoric to defend their lands\, autonomy\, and religious liberties. Revolution was a process that continued through the early 1800s\, and the region’s Indigenous population was a part of that process\, even as they remained a people apart. \nJoin us for a presentation followed by Q&A.
