SUMMARY:CCHM Speaker Series: The American Revolution's End and an Empire's Beginning
DESCRIPTION:A free talk exploring the Revolution’s paradox: liberty and empire\, by historian Lawrence Hatter. Registration required. \n\n\n\n\nThe Clark County Historical Society presents Humanities Washington speaker Lawrence B. A. Hatter for the May installment of its Speaker Series. \n“Could the American Revolution have been both a fight for human liberty—and for empire and dominance?” \nHistorian Lawrence Hatter explores the striking duality at the heart of the Revolutionary era. Audiences will encounter a generation that secured historic victories for universal human rights while simultaneously pursuing conquest and expansion. The program examines pivotal moments such as the Battle of Fallen Timbers\, where a U.S. victory over a Native confederacy opened the door to continued invasion of Indigenous lands. \nAs the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence approaches\, this program invites reflection on how the nation can celebrate the Founders’ achievements while reckoning with the complexities of their legacy. \nPresented by the Clark County Historical Society in partnership with the National Park Service. \nSponsored by Humanities Washington and the Historic Preservation Commission.\nMedia sponsor: The Columbian.
