SUMMARY:Author’s Talk—Republic and Empire: Crisis\, Revolution\, and America’s Early Independence
DESCRIPTION:At the time of the American Revolution\, the British Empire had colonies in India\, Africa\, the Caribbean\, the Pacific\, Canada\, Ireland and Scotland. The thirteen rebellious American colonies accounted for half of the total number of provinces in the British world after the Seven Years’ War. As much as the Revolution was an event in the history of the United States\, the conflict was an imperial event produced by the upheavals of managing a far-flung set of imperial possessions during a turbulent period of reform. Drawing from his new book\, co-authored with the late Trevor Burnard\, historian Andrew O’Shaughnessy looks beyond the familiar borders of the Revolution by exploring colonies that did not rebel—Quebec\, Nova Scotia\, Bermuda\, India\, the British Caribbean\, Senegal and Ireland—to provide a broader history that transcends what we think we know about the Revolution. \nThis author's talk will be held at the Phillips Collection: 1600 21st St. NW\, Washington\, DC\, 20009.  \nRegistration is requested.
