Description
In this webinar, we will explore the experiences of Loyalists during the American Revolution, focusing on the choices they faced. When we center Loyalists, we can begin to see the ways that the American Revolution split families and communities. We will also explore some of the ways Loyalists have been memorialized and what they can reveal about how Americans have interpreted and reinterpreted the American Revolution.
