The American Revolution was not just a two-sided struggle between Great Britain and British-American colonists, but a conflict that engaged people of all sorts in the eastern half of North America—including what is now Leelanau County. The war divided the American colonists themselves, even people of similar class and regional identities, and it also led many people of color—Indigenous people and free and enslaved Blacks—to take sides (and even to change sides at times). This presentation invites us to think about the Revolution as a complex continental event, to consider what it meant to different people at the time, and to ask what it still means to the American people now—and who gets to determine that in this semiquincentennial year.

Gregory Nobles, who received his PhD from the University of Michigan and is now Professor Emeritus at Georgia Tech, is an American historian who has written extensively about the era of the American Revolution and the Early American Republic. In addition to Whose American Revolution Was It?: Historians Interpret the Founding (2011), co-authored with Alfred F. Young, his most recent books are John James Audubon: The Nature of the American Woodsman (2017) and The Education of Betsey Stockton: An Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom (2022). He now divides his time between Atlanta GA and Northport MI, where he serves as a Docent with the Leelanau Conservancy and Trustee of the Leelanau Historical Society.
