SUMMARY:The American Revolution: Catalyst for Fundamental Changes
DESCRIPTION:The Medford Historical Society & Museum presents a program at the library\, “The American Revolution: Catalyst for Fundamental Changes\,” with historian James Bennett. Did Medford have an American Revolution? The city’s  experience of the American Revolution as a war is a well-documented and proud chapter of the community’s history. But to what extent was there a revolution in the hearts and minds of Medford’s people of the kind that John Adams described in 1918 when he wrote: “But what do We mean by the American Revolution? Do We mean the American War? The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the Minds and Hearts of the People.” \nIn this presentation\, James Bennett will examine late 18th-century primary sources from Medford to shed light on the fundamental nature of how the people of Medford experienced political change during the tumultuous years of the revolutionary and early national periods. For Medford\, was the American Revolution simply a war to remove royal authority from the apex of their political system\, or was it a catalyst for a much more fundamental change in the values of their political system as a whole? This presentation will point to some possible answers to that question\, and spark conversations in the community about what that historical experience 250 years ago means for us today. \nBennett has worked as a public historian\, researcher\, actor\, and teacher for over 25 years. He currently works as a research fellow for Revolutionary Spaces\, the nonprofit that stewards Boston’s Old State House and Old South Meeting House. \nRegister using the library’s online calendar. \n
