SUMMARY:Author’s Talk -  North of America: Loyalists\, Indigenous Nations\, and the Borders of the Long American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:At the start of the Revolutionary War\, independence had its limits as patriots were surrounded by indigenous peoples and loyalists throughout the northern regions that straddled the colonial borders\, and these foreign neighbors were far from inactive during the Revolution. Upper Canada\, Lower Canada\, New Brunswick\, Nova Scotia\, Newfoundland and especially the homelands that straddled colonial borders were far less foreign to the men and women who established the United States than Canada is to those who live here now. Jeffers Lennox\, associate professor of history at Wesleyan University\, describes how the participation of the loyal northern British provinces and indigenous nations—that largely rejected the Revolution as antagonists\, opponents or bystanders—frustrated patriot ambitions\, shaped the progress of the conflict and influenced the American nation’s early development. \nThe talk will last approximately 45 minutes\, followed by a book signing. Copies of the book will be available to purchase at the event. \nRegistration is requested. To attend the author’s talk in-person at Anderson House\, or to watch virtually\, please use the appropriate form below. \nCurrently\, all visitors to Anderson House age 2 and older are required to wear a mask while attending a historical program or visiting the museum or library.

Before joining the academic staff at Wesleyan University\, Dr. Lennox taught at Dalhousie University and the University of British Columbia. His first book\, Homelands & Empires: Indigenous Spaces\, Imperial Fictions\, and Competition for Territory in Northeastern North America\, 1690-1763 (University of Toronto Press\, 2017) explored how the Wabanaki peoples\, French settlers\, and British colonists used borders\, land use\, and the language of geography to control territory in what is now Nova Scotia\, New Brunswick and Northern Maine and won several awards including the Clio award from the Canadian Historical Association and the John Lyman Book Award from the North American Society for Oceanic History. \n  \nRegister to attend the Author's Talk at Anderson House\n  \nClick here to attend the author's talk virtually
