47. The American Revolution Through a British Lens
Forum
1776 marks the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence – but this is as much a British story as an American one. Thousands of records stored at The National Archives offer unparalleled insight into the Revolution and offer fresh perspectives on its promise of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Join Sean Cunningham and Graham Moore, curators of The National Archives’ “Revolution 250” exhibition, as they explore how the Revolution affected everyone in North America – not just rebels and British Loyalists but also Indigenous nations, enslaved people, and Black Loyalists.
