The American Revolution & the British Empire

with Professor Richard Bell

Thursdays, May 5 to June 9, no class 5/19

10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Seen through American eyes, July 4, 1776 marks a triumphant moment: the birth of a bold new nation committed to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Through British eyes, the American Revolution looked quite different. This course will examine America’s through the lens of Britain’s Empire. First, we’ll examine the Boston Tea Party, a protest against imperial tyranny and monopoly power. Second, we’ll look at the resulting war from perspective of the Palace, the Parliament, and the British people. Third, we’ll explore the conflict from the vantage of the Irish and their descendants in America. Fourth, we’ll pivot southward to study the fate of empire on Britain’s Caribbean islands. Finally, we’ll investigate the terms of the 1783 Treaty of Paris, the peace pact that dramatically shrank the boundaries of the British Empire and confirmed the independence of the newly United States. This class blends lectures and discussion and rich visual and textual evidence from primary sources. Included with GOLD subscriptions. Please call 410-358-6856 or email info@myerberg.org to register.

This is FREE for all members and subscribers. Email info@myerberg.org to register.

The Sock

By Eileen Creeger

I found it! I found it!

After missing for one year

The matching orange sport sock

Which to me was very dear.

I looked high and low for it.

It could have been anywhere.

Inside another dresser drawer?

Trapped in my clean underwear?

Or maybe lost in the dryer.

Where do those darn socks go?

Perhaps to some other world

Trapped beneath Earth below.

But while setting the Seder table

With Mom’s linens old and dear

Lo and behold! There it was!

My sock—so long gone but so near!
