Lecture at Mill Hill with Mark Albertson
A Triad of Documents: America’s Road to Revolution
Saturday, June 27 2:00pm
Mill Hill Historic Park, Norwalk
How did the American colonies move from protest to armed resistance – and finally to independence?
Join the Norwalk Historical Society and historian Mark Albertson for an illuminating examination of three pivotal documents:
1774
The Articles of Association
1775
The Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms
1776
The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America
The Articles of Association
1775
The Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms
1776
The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America
Together, these documents reveal the colonists’ rapidly changing relationship with Great Britain and their movement toward revolution. Albertson will also explore a carefully couched message in the title of the Declaration of Independence – one King George III would have understood immediately.
