SUMMARY:History Revival: "To Give My Voice in the Matter of Independence"
DESCRIPTION:The Declaration of Independence is one of the central documents of the founding and development of the United States. In 1776\, the ideas contained in this document held significant ramifications for the diverse people living in the “Delaware State.” Many embraced the cause of independence\, and ultimately revolution\, while others remained loyal to the British Empire and to the Crown.\nBut what was life in Delaware like at the time of independence? What factors and conditions had shaped the colony soon-to-be state\, and influenced its people? Who were the participants in these events\, and in which ways did they choose\, or were able\, to participate? To help answer these questions\, this presentation will examine aspects of Delaware’s colonial history and identity\, the arrival of and the people’s reaction to the news of independence\, and the varied and difficult responses Delawareans made in the years that followed. This discussion by historian Chuck Fithian will demonstrate Delaware’s complex Revolutionary War history\, and the ways its people started to “begin the world over again.”
