SUMMARY:Book Chat on American Inheritance by Edward J Larsonn
DESCRIPTION:New attention from historians and journalists is raising pointed questions about the founding period: was the American revolution waged to preserve slavery\, and was the Constitution a pact with slavery or a landmark in the antislavery movement? Leaders of the founding who called for American liberty are scrutinized for enslaving Black people themselves: George Washington consistently refused to recognize the freedom of those who escaped his Mount Vernon plantation. And we have long needed a history of the founding that fully includes Black Americans in the Revolutionary protests\, the war\, and the debates over slavery and freedom that followed. Join us in a group discussion to dive deeper into the contradictions of our founding. \n$10 Historical Society members\, $15 nonmembers \nPlease note that due to construction at the Depot\, Book Chats for the 2024-25 season will take place in the archives and Research Center at Munroe Tavern.
