SUMMARY:Disunion Among Ourselves: The Perilous Politics of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Disunion Among Ourselves: The Perilous Politics of the American Revolution \nSaturday\, June 10 | 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. \nMembers Free | Non-Members $10 | Free Livestream \nVanderbilt political historian and best-selling author Eli Merritt reveals the deep political divisions that almost tore the Union apart during the American Revolution\, presented at the Concord Museum.
