SUMMARY:Author’s Talk—This Fierce People: The Untold Story of America’s Revolutionary War in the South
DESCRIPTION:Following the Franco-American alliance of 1778\, the outstretched British forces in North America embarked on a southern campaign to muster Loyalist support and attempt to finally subdue the American rebellion. This new strategy shifted the central theater of operations to the southern states. With a divided population and challenging physical landscapes\, the fighting that occurred in the South resulted in some of the fiercest battles of the war. Weaving throughout the stories of heroic men and women and the battles in which they fought\, historian Alan Pell Crawford discusses his new book on the significance of the American Revolution in the South. \nRegistration is requested. To attend the author’s talk in-person at Anderson House\, or to watch virtually\, please use the appropriate link below. \nRegister to Attend the Author’s Talk at Anderson House \nRegister to Attend the Author’s Talk Virtually \nAbout the Speaker\nAlan Pell Crawford is a historian\, journalist and the author of several acclaimed books.
