British Isles Interest Group- Hybrid Meeting

  British Isles Special Interest Group

Topic:  The American Revolution- A British Perspective

Speaker:  Colin Whitney

Many of you have learned about the American Revolution in high school. You know the battles and the American heroes. In this talk I will cover how the British viewed this uprising against colonial rule. We will examine key figures in the British Government, the state of Britain entering the war, and how miscalculation and misunderstanding led to the defeat of the well trained British Army at the hands of colonials using unorthodox tactics. Many British Loyalist fled to Canada after the war. We will show you how to obtain those records.
