SUMMARY:First in Freedom: North Carolina and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:APP STATE Presents A lecture by Dr. Karl Campbell The state of North Carolina had the American Revolution in mind when it authorized our license plates to read “first in freedom.” Given the more prominent roles played by other states–such as Massachusetts\, New York\, Pennsylvania\, and Virginia—on what basis does North Carolina make this claim\, and how does it hold up under historical scrutiny? \nDr. Campbell\,  will reexamine the stories\, controversies\, and ongoing debates about the Ol’ North State’s contribution to the American Revolution. This lecture will suggest that the events of 250 years ago are not just a patriotic history to celebrate but a sacred obligation to fulfill. \nWebsite
