SUMMARY:Author's Talk—Memory of '76: The Revolution in American History
DESCRIPTION:Americans agree that their nation’s origins lie in the Revolution\, but they have never agreed on what the Revolution meant. For nearly 250 years\, politicians\, political parties\, social movements\, and a diverse array of ordinary Americans have constantly reimagined the Revolution to fit the times and suit their own agendas. \nDrawing from his new book\, historian Michael D. Hattem reveals how conflicts over the meaning and legacy of the Revolution—including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution—have influenced the most important events and tumultuous periods in the nation’s history. He also explores how African Americans\, women and other oppressed groups have shaped the popular memory of the Revolution and how much of our contemporary memory of the Revolution is a product of the Cold War. By exploring the Revolution’s unique role in American history\, Dr. Hattem demonstrates how the meaning of the Revolution has never been fixed\, how remembering the nation’s founding has sometimes done more to divide Americans than to unite them. \nRegistration is requested.
