As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of America's founding, join local historian Jim Segrave-Daly for a 4-part series with lively discussion of the causes, events, and individuals whose actions led tot he American Revolution and the historic changes that resulted. The series begins in 1763, after England's victory in the Seven Years' War, and culminates in ratification of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776.
Jim (TheLocalHistoryGeek) has presented to libraries and civic organizations nationwide. He is an active member of the Radnor Historical Society, the American Revolution Roundtable of Philadelphia, Founding Forward, Amercia250PADelco, and a volunteer history teacher.
Part 2: As the British Parliament responds to colonial resistance to taxation without representation, both sides struggle in the early 1770's to find a solution. The Boston Tea Party & England's response hardened beliefs about who was right & who was wrong.
