"The British are coming! The British are coming!" 1775 was a fateful
year for the American Colonies, and 2025 marks the 250th
anniversary of all those events. In this course, Julie Sweet will
examine those watershed moments like the shots fired at
Lexington & Concord, the contentious meetings of the Second
Continental Congress, and the defense of Bunker Hill. This
background will show just how fraught those times really were and
how what happened in 1775 set the stage for the years to come.
