This Easter weekend marked the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord – the opening engagements of the American War of Independence. I recently had the pleasure of convening a roundtable discussion at the National Army Museum to commemorate the occasion. Over the course of a ninety-minute conversation, Professor David Armitage, Dr Megan King, and Professor Steve Pincus offered wide-ranging insight into the debates over rights, allegiance, and imperial governance that set the stage for the American Revolution.
A recording of this thought-provoking anniversary event is now available on the National Army Museum’s YouTube channel.
