SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture—Bayou Patriots? Louisiana Milita and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Comprised of Spanish\, Creole French\, Acadian\, German and free Black soldiers\, the efforts of the Spanish Louisiana militia during Gen. Bernardo de Galvez’s campaign against British positions on the Gulf Coast was instrumental in forcing the British military to expend manpower and resources away from the rebellious thirteen colonies. Rhett Breerwood\, command historian of the Louisiana National Guard\, discusses the role of Spanish Louisiana’s militia during these events\, as well as its legacy as it eventually came under American authority in the early nineteenth century when its members transitioned from royal subjects to citizen soldiers of a new republic. \nRegistration is required.
