In-Person: The Road to the Revolution Part 1 with Jim Coll

Governing the Colonies: In this session we will analyze some of the structural issues England experienced related to establishing Colonies in North America

The American Revolution was the product of decades of grievances felt by many colonists to be originating from the seat of power of the British Empire. While most discussions about this time period focus on its military history, we will instead analyze the series of actions from both sides of the Atlantic that led to the declaration that “these united Colonies are, and of right ought to be Free and Independent States.”
