SUMMARY:The Great Debate Part 2: Patriots & Loyalists
DESCRIPTION:The year is 1775—tensions with the British Crown are rising\, and one question is on every colonist’s mind: Would you fight for independence as a Patriot or remain loyal to the British Crown as a Loyalist? \nJoin us as our two historians face yet another Great Debate that divided colonists and even families during the American Revolution. David Goss will argue the case for Loyalists\, and Charlie Newhall will argue the case for Patriots. Both sides will defend their beliefs about freedom\, loyalty\, and the future of the colonies. \nThe debate will be moderated by David Olson former Editor-in-Chief of the Salem News \nAudience members will have the chance to ask questions\, challenge perspectives\, and even cast their vote at the end! \nCLICK HERE to Register  \n  \n \nThis program is part of Essex County Revolution 250 – an initiative of Essex Heritage in partnership with Massachusetts Rev250 and dozens of regional museums\, heritage sites\, and organizations\, with the intention of raising awareness and highlighting the diverse stories of Essex County\, Massachusetts residents\, free and unfree\, during the American Revolutionary period. \n  \nCLICK HERE to watch David Goss and Charlie Newhall battle it out last year at the Great Debate: Birthplace of the American Navy.

SUMMARY:Newburyport’s Road to Revolution\, Part IV- Black Newburyporters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the uncomfortable truth that\, as Newburyport debated concepts of freedom and independence on the eve of Revolution\, a significant number of Americans were not free. Thousands of African Americans were enslaved\, up to 20% of the entire population of the colonies. In Newburyport\, Black voices spoke up forcefully for their liberty and equality amid the revolutionary fervor\, and helped turn the tide in Massachusetts against slavery. Some white revolutionaries bitterly characterized themselves as “slaves” of Great Britain and King George in Newburyport newspapers. “I need not point out the absurdity of your exertions for liberty\, while you have slaves in your houses\,” formerly enslaved man Caesar Sarter fired back. \nJoin a panel of noted scholars for a discussion of how Newburyport grappled with the promise and paradox of independence. \nCLICK HERE for more information and to purchase tickets \nFunded\, in part\, by the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Tea on a Gambrel Roof w/Tea & Cake
DESCRIPTION:A dramatization of ‘A Gambrel Roof’\, a poem by Lucy Larcom. \nA creative multi-disciplinary theatrical presentation of a circa 1875 local poem about the historic Danvers Jeremiah Page House. Period music\, an art installation\, historic tea blends\, and signature cakes add to the illustration of the story: \nIn about 1770\, when the British monarchy started taxing tea in the colonies\, Jeremiah told Sarah that “no tea shall be drunk in this house”.  However\, while her husband was away one day\, Sarah and two friends secretly had their tea ON the roof of the house.  In Sarah’s words\, “Upon a house is not within it”\, so she was still obeying her husband’s wishes.  This story was told to Anne L. Page\, Jeremiah’s granddaughter\, by a family friend many years later. Anne then told it to her friend Lucy Larcom\, the famous Beverly poet.  Lucy romanticized the story in the poem “A Gambrel Roof\,” written as the 100th birthday of our nation approached and published in the Atlantic Monthly. \nThere will be a Q&A session after the production\, moderated by historian Dan Gagnon. \nWheelchair accessible building and parking available. Additional parking in the Elm Street lot. \nDanvers Historical Society: 978-777-1666 or E-mail to connect@danvershistory.org
