Description
Join University of South Carolina Professor Woody Holton as he discusses his book Forced Founders: Indians, Slaves, and the Origins of the American Revolution in the South.
There are no African Americans or Indians in John Trumbull’s Declaration of Independence–the iconic image on the back of the two dollar bill–but slaves and Native Americans both played a crucial, if indirect, role in turning white Americans like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington into revolutionaries. Woody Holton traces these forgotten influences on the Founding Fathers in an illustrated lecture.
