Author Talk: "From Subject to Citizen: What Americans Need to Know about Their Revolution"  (FCPL Event)
7:00 pm to 8:00 pm
C Burr Artz Library, Maryland Room, 110 East Patrick St, Frederick, MD
"From Subject to Citizen" is a challenge to Americans to understand the deeper causes and nature of the American Revolution. Public historian Nancy Spannaus addresses the matter in three sections: The Growing Revolt against the British Empire, the Declaration, and the Fight for the Constitution. Each comprises challenges to certain popular understandings of these events by republishing articles from her blog, AmericanSystemNow, both short and long. In her conclusion she draws on the insights of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass to identify the essential qualities a citizen needs to preserve our republic."
