- **Event Name**: History Forum 250: Freedom Round the Globe
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 13 Jun, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 13 Jun, 2026 at 12:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: A new global history of the American Revolution—encompassing places as distant as Kolkata, St. Kitts, Ghana, and Guangzhou—offers a new view of this epoch-defining set of events. In 1776, all kinds of people around the world, not just the men who declared independence, sought the end of oppression, asserting rights to life, liberty, and happiness. This Revolution was more contested, protracted, and diverse, with a wider cast of characters than is usually assumed. The engines of change for what happened in the classic thirteen colonies frequently lay outside those colonies. Piecing together a number of unexpected locations and unheralded “founders,” this book tells the story of the American Revolution in a surprising and novel way. This history, from 1763 to 1788, clarifies the Revolution’s origins, trajectory, ideas, and action. It reveals a rich past we the people really need in our current disunited states of America. It also restores the shock and drama of a dazzling era.
