SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture - North Slavery in Colonial America  with Dr. Richard Bell
DESCRIPTION:North Slavery in Colonial America  \nWe tend to think of slavery as a labor system that was confined to the American South. But it turns out that that’s not the full story. Slavery was also a fact of life in many northern colonies before the American Revolution. Northern slavery was never as widespread or as essential to the economy as it was in the south\, but it was there nonetheless. What did it look like? What forms did it take? And what forms of resistance to it were possible? Quite a few\, actually. In fact\, in 1741 white New Yorkers thought they’d discovered a slave plot in their city – a plot to burn down Manhattan’s houses\, rape its white women\, and kill its white masters.  \nThe Historic Annapolis 2025 Virtual Lecture Series is offered free of charge thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. If you enjoy this program\, we hope you will consider becoming a member or making a donation today to support Historic Annapolis and our mission to connect all people with our shared history.  \nCost: FREE \n (pre-registration required; registration closes at 6:30pm)  \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Richard Bell is Associate Professor of History at the University of Maryland and author of the new book Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and Their Astonishing Odyssey Home.  He has won more than a dozen teaching awards\, including the University System of Maryland Board of Regents Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching\, the highest honor for teaching faculty in the Maryland state system. He has held major research fellowships at Yale\, Cambridge\, and the Library of Congress and is the recipient of the National Endowment of the Humanities Public Scholar award. He serves as a Trustee of the Maryland historical Society\, as an elected member of the Massachusetts Historical Society\, and as a fellow of the Royal Historical Society.   \nThis lecture will be offered virtually by Zoom. Upon registration\, you will be sent the link for the video conference to join on the evening of the lecture. If you do not receive your confirmation email after you register\, please check your Spam folder\, or email Cara Garside at cara.garside@annapolis.org.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture - “In Pursuit of Gold Mountain”: Asian Immigration and History in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Daniel J. Sieh \nThe United States\, or “Gold Mountain” as it was known in Asia\, was often seen as a very distant but promising destination for many in the East looking for opportunity. New research puts the beginnings of Asian immigration much earlier than expected\, with some even making their way to the American Revolution and the nascent United States with the “Old China Trade”. From mercantile beginnings to the turbulent struggles of a nation in the midst of a civil war\, through the turmoil and development in the 20th century the history of Asians in the United States reflects the underlying history that connects all in their pursuit of the “American Dream”. \nThe Historic Annapolis 2025 Virtual Lecture Series is offered free of charge thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. If you enjoy this program\, we hope you will consider becoming a member or making a donation today to support Historic Annapolis and our mission to connect all people with our shared history.  \nCost: FREE \nPre-registration is required; Registration closes at 7:00 pm.\nCan’t watch live? All lectures will be recorded. Please register and you’ll receive the link to watch the recording after the event. \n \nAbout the Presenter: \nDaniel J. Sieh is a Public Historian with over 12 years of experience working with historical museums throughout the East Coast. Previously\, Daniel has worked at Colonial Williamsburg and later on at Claude Moore Colonial Farm as one of their historical interpreters. He graduated with a History degree from the College of William and Mary in 2016 and has a Master’s degree from American University. He currently lives and works in Washington D.C. as a Financial Manager for Freddie Mac \nThis lecture will be offered virtually by Zoom. Upon registration\, you will be sent the link for the video conference to join on the evening of the lecture. If you do not receive your confirmation email after you register\, please check your Spam folder\, or email Cara Garside at cara.garside@annapolis.org.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture - Southern Slavery in Colonial America presented by Dr. Richard Bell
DESCRIPTION:The first Africans had been brought to Virginia as slaves in 1619 but it wasn’t until the 1670s that slavery began to dominate parts of the American economy. That process continued apace in the 18th century transforming every aspect of most southern colonies\, from Virginia to South Carolina and Georgia. How did American law transform to codify and entrench race slavery in America in this period? How did plantation owners enforce submission and compliance and impose their will on a black\, enslaved underclass? How did they work to try to prevent widespread resistance and what ways did enslaved men and women find to fight back to preserve their dignity and culture\, or perhaps even to escape or revolt?  \nThe Historic Annapolis 2025 Virtual Lecture Series is offered free of charge thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture - The Balance of Power in Colonial Native America with Dr. Richard Bell
DESCRIPTION:The Balance of Power in Colonial Native America  \nNative Americans did not disappear from colonial history in the 18th century. On the contrary\, throughout the 1700s\, Native Americans exerted decisive influence on the American colonies encroaching all around them. But how\, why\, and at what cost? How did Native people navigate the rapid changes to the balance of power between themselves and the surging numbers of European settlers now living on the American continent? What did life look like in the contact zones where Europeans and Natives interacted? Who were the intermediaries\, the go-betweens\, who greased the wheels of diplomacy and cooperation on the borderlands between English America and Indian Country? Why did they do that work\, and why did so many of those go-betweens end up dead?  \nAdvance registration required. Registration closes one half hour prior to lecture.  \nCost: FREE \n \nThe Historic Annapolis 2025 Virtual Lecture Series is offered free of charge thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor.
