Looking to learn more about the American Revolution? Join us for a virtual presentation! Dr. Jim Gibb will continue to discuss specific events that contributed to the French & Indian War.

In this series of presentations, we'll uncover the stories of the American Revolution!

From January through June, we will explore the individual actions and events leading to the Continental Congress declaring independence from Great Britain. Living conditions in Colonial Maryland on the eve of the Seven Years War (French & Indian War) provides our starting point. Presentations will include some archaeological findings in Maryland and elsewhere, but most of our discussions will examine specific events and documents, including shots fired at Lexington and Concord, removal of French Canadians from Acadia, paintings of the Anglo-American assault on French Canada, and the Declaration.

Most military action during the Seven Years War after 1755 occurred in the northern theater, particularly in New York, Lower Canada, and the maritime province of Acadia. This second part of “The French & Indian War” examines sites in New York and events in Acadia.

This presentation will be held live over Zoom. It will also be recorded and uploaded to the St. Mary's County Library YouTube channel.

If you would like to attend this event live and/or watch the recording, please register with an email address to receive the Zoom link the day before the event. The YouTube link to the recording will be emailed to everyone who registers for this program.
