SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture - Strangers in the Realm: Immigration to Colonial America with Dr. Richard Bell
DESCRIPTION:The American colonies were full of strangers–new arrivals born far away. Among the white population\, those colonies teemed with immigrants from all across western Europe and elsewhere. Why did they come? Where did they settle? How did they live? To answer these questions\, we’ll examine the demographic makeup of the British colonies in 1700 and then look at how things changed in the decades afterward. To do so\, we’ll focus in on the immigration experiences of the English\, the Scots\, and the Germans\, the three groups–along with enslaved Africans\, of course–who took the lion’s share of places on board the ships that delivered immigrants in such massive numbers to British North America.  \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 \nAdvance registration required; registration closes on half-hour prior to lecture.  \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 \nThis lecture will be offered virtually by Zoom.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture - Book Talk with Dr. Richard Bell
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Richard Bell joins us for a hybrid in-person/virtual lecture as he celebrates his new book\, The American Revolution and the Fate of the World. \nThe in-person lecture is currently at capacity\, but we invite you to join us via Zoom as we livestream Dr. Bell’s book talk. \nWhen we think of the American Revolution\, we often picture a parochial drama: thirteen colonies squaring off against the British Crown in a spirited bid for independence. But this version of the story is only half the truth—and perhaps not even the most interesting half. In this riveting program\, historian and author Richard Bell invites audiences to rediscover the Revolution as a world war that unleashed chaos\, opportunity\, and transformation across six continents. From the sugar fields of the Caribbean to the court of the King of Mysore\, from refugee camps on the Canadian frontier to political uprisings in Sierra Leone and Peru\, the war that gave birth to the United States was never simply America’s own. It was a seismic global event that redrew maps\, toppled hierarchies\, catalyzed migration\, and accelerated new movements for liberty—and for empire. \nIn this program\, Bell traces the far-flung reverberations of the war through the lives of the people it displaced\, empowered\, or destroyed. Participants will encounter a Native matriarch struggling to preserve a transatlantic military alliance\, a Prussian officer reinventing himself in a foreign army\, and a Boston schoolteacher shipwrecked thousands of miles from home. Along the way\, Dr. Bell explores how the Revolution stirred a transoceanic refugee crisis\, ignited antislavery activism\, and inspired uprisings from Ireland to India. The program offers a bold new framework for understanding the Revolutionary War not as a tidy founding moment but as a sprawling\, high-stakes struggle fought on land and sea\, shaped by commerce\, diplomacy\, propaganda\, and contingency. This is the American Revolution as you’ve never seen it before: complex\, global\, and astonishingly relevant to the modern world. \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.  \nAdvance registration required. Registration closes one half hour prior to lecture. Please note this lecture will begin at 6:30 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. \nCost: FREE \n \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 - 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.
