Event Description:
This lecture will describe the opening scenes of the Revolutionary War in April 1775, at a time when it was still not obvious that the Americans would declare their independence (an event that was then still more than a year in the future). It will show how George Washington took command of the Continental Army and how the first bloodshed radicalized a generation of New Englanders.
