1776: The Year That Changed History
It began with Thomas Paine publishing Common Sense, a powerful pamphlet that helped inspire the push for independence. In the early summer, Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, which eventually inspired countries around the world to seek their own freedom. That same summer brought the largest battle of the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Long Island. The year 1776 concluded with George Washington and the Continental Army crossing the Delaware River and achieving a significant victory at the Battle of Trenton! Please join MCC professor of history, Mark Sample, as he tells these stories of that pivotal year in American history! This program will be in the Kate Gleason Auditorium.
