Join us for the first of three captivating Summer History Series of in-person lectures with Dr. Matthew Warshauer of the CCSU History Department!

July 10th: The British Invasion!! (No, not the Beatles!!) We’re talking 1760s not the 1960s.  The Parliamentary Acts that led to the Revolution.  What really led to the American Revolution? Taxation without representation? Tyranny against the people’s liberties?  American refusal to pay taxes for their own defense?  Only a dive into the 1760s and 1770s will tell.

Dive into the 1760s and 1770s to explore the roots of revolution, the power of the press, and the real meaning behind the Declaration of Independence.

Dr. Matthew Warshauer is a professor of history at Central Connecticut State University, where he has studied and written extensively on what he calls “the American paradox,” the conflicting ideological beliefs and practices of the United States. Learn more here.
