Morrison DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: IN-PERSON SEATING IS NOW FULL. YOU MAY JOIN THE WAIT LI ST OR WATCH VIA ZOOM (SEE BELOW).\nFour months before the "shot heard roun d the world" was fired at Lexington and Concord in April 1775\, the farmer s and fishermen of Seacoast New Hampshire rose up to defy British authorit y at Fort William and Mary. This is a part of New Hampshire history with w hich area residents are quite familiar. Less well known is the story of ho w the colonist’s resistance movement came together. Textbooks recall the ir recitation of grievances: taxes and tyranny\; and their demands: relief from impositions on their liberty and recognition of their right to repre sentation. But books seldom explore what these terms meant to those who pr otested and risked their lives and livelihoods. Prof. Morrison will explor e the conditions that led the Seacoast's communities to rebel against thei r king.\nDane Morrison is professor emeritus of early American history at Salem State University.
