Military Occupation in Revolutionary America

In this, our second Zoom talk of the season, we explore life for those living in cities occupied by the British during the American Revolution.

The experience of military occupation shaped the course of the American Revolution for tens of thousands of colonial Americans living in port cities and other areas controlled by the British Army. This talk explores how those experiences transformed ordinary peoples’ attitudes towards their government and the Revolution, and ultimately contributed to the defeat of the British Empire in America.

Donald F. Johnson is a historian of popular politics during the era of the American Revolution and associate professor of history at North Dakota State University.

This program will be held on Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent out in advance from Eventbrite.
