SUMMARY:The Revolutionary War
DESCRIPTION:Most Americans simply do not know very much about the Revolutionary War.   \nAlthough certain images from the Revolutionary War are seared into our memory – Washington Crossing the Delaware  and the signing of the Declaration of Independence –  many people would be hard-pressed to name a major battle\, a leading general or even how the War For Independence ended.  Recent events in America have caused some to question whether we should even have statues of George Washington on public display. \nTHE REVOLUTIONARY WAR\n In this four-part series on the Revolutionary War we will examine why the freest and most prosperous colonials in the world decided to declare independence from a mother country that had protected them. We will look at the roots of the war\, the Declaration of Independence\, the early battles including Lexington\, Concord\, and Bunker Hill before transitioning into a longer look at the seven years of fighting necessary for America to begin its experiment in participatory democracy. We will also look at the amazing and diverse leaders who guided America. Benjamin Franklin\,James Monroe\, John Adams\, Paul Revere\, George Washington\, Thomas Jefferson\, and Alexander Hamilton will be some of the people whom we will meet. I encourage you to learn more about how America came to be!

SUMMARY:Paul Revere A Patriot With A Purpose
DESCRIPTION:Paul Revere A Patriot With A Purpose\nPaul Revere is a unique figure in USA history.  His name is universally known for his daring “Midnight Ride” yet Revere seems to appear out of nowhere on that one fateful day and then disappear sthe next.  Like Rosa Parks\, he seems to be important for one day of his life which changes American History and then vanishes.  But like Mrs. Parks\, he led a rich\, full and important life before and after his moment of fame. \nWhile Americans probably recall something of the drama of Paul Revere’s ride\, the details are more harrowing\, exciting and heroic than you may realize. Revere was captured by the British and threatened with death. Risking his life\, the dashing Paul Revere escaped the clutches of the British troops! He rode through their lines and saved the lives of both John Hancock and John Adams.  Paul Revere even managed to smuggle top-secret documents to safety under the nose of the British column! \nHow was Paul Revere a Patriot with a purpose? Come to this exciting and unexpected presentation to learn about how he helped organize the USA’s first spy network\, revolutionized American industry – oh\, and managed to take the midnight ride!
