Don't miss author Mary Elise Antoine's talk this Saturday at 1pm! Mary will be talking about "Residents of 'Wisconsin' in the American Revolution."
In the mid-18th century, the residents of the land now called Wisconsin lived far from the British colonies ranged along the Atlantic Ocean. But whether Native American or Euro-American, these residents were well-informed. When the Thirteen Colonies declared their independence from Great Britain, the residents of the western Great Lakes and upper Mississippi were involved in the resulting conflict. From the invasion of Canada in 1775 to the Battle of Saratoga in 1777 to the attack on St. Louis in 1780, residents of “Wisconsin” were active participants.
Learn who, how, and why these residents were part of the American Revolution and the effects of the Revolution on “Wisconsin.”
