History | Available (Membership Required)
This class will be a one-session class.
America at 250, the story of the Declaration of Independence: The American Revolution that had begun long before the British occupation of Boston and the resulting conflict of arms. It was a revolution in the hearts and minds of the colonists. What was missing was the pronouncement to the world that America was a free and independent nation. That task fell to a committee of five in the Second Continental Congress.
