SUMMARY:Lecture—The Battle for the Fourteenth Colony: America’s War of Liberation in Canada\, 1774-1776
DESCRIPTION:To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American campaign into Canada\, historian Mark Anderson examines the American colonies’ efforts to bring Quebec into the Continental confederation and free Canadians from British “tyranny.” Drawing from his research\, Anderson offers new insight into the key political and military factors that ultimately doomed America’s first foreign war of liberation and resulted in the Continental Army’s decisive expulsion from Canada on the eve of the Declaration of Independence. This program accompanies our current exhibition\, Revolutionary Beginnings: War and Remembrance in the First Year of America’s Fight for Independence\, on view through January 4\, 2026. \nRegistration is requested.
