This engaging program will explore the Revolutionary era through the difficult choices people faced:
Should they remain loyal to the King or join the rebels?
After independence, what kind of nation should they build?
Using the life of William Constable as a guide, Peter Hayes will introduce the remarkable figures in Constable's circle, including Alexander Hamilton, Benedict Arnold, Aaron Burr, the Marquis de Lafayette, and others.
This is not a dry history lecture—it is a personal journey through one of the most pivotal moments in American history. The presentation will also feature two treasured historical artifacts, and audience discussion will be encouraged following the talk.
Would you have joined the rebels and risked life and limb? Come and discover the choices that shaped a nation.
We hope you'll join us for this thought-provoking and timely presentation as we commemorate 250 years of American independence.
