Acton COA Presents: The Times that Try Men’s Souls: The Road to Revolution 1763-1776

At the end of the French and Indian War, Britain and its colonies dominated Eastern North America. Yet within months of the end of the war, there began a growing rift between colonies and Mother Country. By the mid-1770s, the colonies were in open rebellion. This lecture with historian Paolo Di Gregorio will explore the chain of events that created the American Revolution. Paolo Di Gregorio is a historian, archaeologist, and educator. He is a Visiting Lecturer in the History Department at Bridgewater State University, and his passion for telling stories of our past is enthusiastically received by Acton’s older adults!

Open to out-of-towners 60+ for $5
