Paul Talks: The American Revolution Part 2

Join the Monroe Historical Society for the second presentation in our continuing series of engaging historical talks by Village Historian Paul Ellis-Graham. In this presentation, Paul continues the story of the American Revolution, exploring the events and growing tensions that pushed the American colonies closer to open rebellion—including the Boston Tea Party, the Continental Congress, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, Ticonderoga, and the early stages of the Revolutionary War. Through the people, decisions, conflicts, and turning points of this pivotal period, Paul brings this remarkable chapter of American history to life while examining how a growing dispute with Britain became a full-scale fight for independence. Whether you're a lifelong history enthusiast or simply curious about America's founding era, this presentation offers an informative and accessible look at the events that shaped the course of the Revolution. This is part of an ongoing lecture series exploring a wide range of historical topics through the unique perspective and research of Monroe's own historian.
