SUMMARY:Beyond the Bridge - an Acton 250 Lecture
DESCRIPTION:In 2023\, Professor Bob Allison inaugurated the Acton 250 Lectures Series with an account of the Boston Tea Party of 1773 and the pivotal events that sparked the American Revolution. He returned to explain the critical changes occurring in the year 1774 when the Crown’s response solidified the colonial opposition.  We are thrilled to have Bob for his third visit to discuss the events after the start of the Revolution. \nProfessor Allison is renowned for his expertise in American colonial history\, and the political\, social\, and economic factors that converged in the 18th century\, leading to Massachusetts’ significant role in the creation of the American nation. He has taught history at Suffolk University since 1992 upon receiving his doctorate at Harvard University. He chairs Revolution 250\, a consortium of organizations planning commemorations of the Revolution’s 250th anniversary and is a life-trustee of the USS Constitution Museum.
