Bergen County Voices from the American Revolution
September 15 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm The Revolutionary War was truly America’s first civil war. Nowhere was that better exhibited than in Bergen County. Governor William Livingston in 1777 referred to it as “that almost totally disaffected county” and actually sent an expedition of state militia from neighboring counties into it to round up Loyalists. But those partisans for each side has something in common: they were all Americans, New Jerseyians with perhaps differing views of freedom and liberty. Join us as we examine some of the county residents who took arms for both sides in the firm belief of the righteousness of their cause and what became of them. Based on the 2012 book “Bergen County Voices from the American Revolution: Soldiers and Residents in Their Own Words” by Todd W. Braisted. |
