This program follows historian, Richard Bell as he traces the global ripple effects of the American Revolution through the lives it disrupted, reshaped, and destroyed. Participants will meet a Native matriarch striving to preserve a fragile alliance, a Prussian officer forging a new identity abroad, and a Boston schoolteacher cast far from home. Bell reveals how the war sparked a transoceanic refugee crisis, fueled antislavery movements, and inspired uprisings from Ireland to India. Rather than a neat founding moment, the Revolution emerges as a complex, high-stakes conflict spanning continents and oceans, driven by commerce, diplomacy, propaganda, and chance. This fresh perspective reimagines the Revolution as a deeply interconnected global event with lasting relevance today.
