SUMMARY:The Plight of Loyalists on the Eve of Independence
DESCRIPTION:This lecture\, presented by historian Alexander Cain\, examines the often-overlooked experiences of American Loyalists from New England\, including those from Essex County\, during the Revolutionary War. It examines how unwavering loyalty to the Crown led to the loss of homes\, freedom\, and security for numerous families. Drawing on original petitions and firsthand accounts\, the presentation traces the harrowing flight of Loyalists from so-called “patriot” mobs and Committees of Safety. The discussion further explores the severe hardships endured by Loyalist families\, including those from Salem\, who sought refuge with the British army\, facing starvation\, violations of civil liberties\, and exile. The lecture also highlights the resilience that enabled these individuals to persevere in the face of such adversity. \n\n\n\nAlexander Cain\, JD\, has authored numerous research articles and presentations on the American Revolution\, including the Battles of Lexington\, Concord\, and Bunker Hill\, the Siege of Boston\, and the experiences of New England and New York loyalist refugees during the Burgoyne Campaign. In addition\, he has published two books:We Stood Our Ground: Lexington in the First Year of the American Revolution and I See Nothing but the Horrors of a Civil War: The Loyalists of McAlpin’s Corps of American Volunteers. He is also the creator of the blog and podcast Historical Nerdery. Currently\, he is in the process of writing his upcoming book\, “For God’s Sake Fire!” – The Massachusetts Militia System on the Eve of the Battles of Lexington and Concord\, which is anticipated to be released in 2027. \nAlex is the Executive Director of Apprenticeship Pathways at North Shore Community College. He resides in Massachusetts with his wife\, Paula\, and they have two adult children\, John and Abigail. The fact that they are named after John and Abigail Adams is purely a coincidence. \nWhile admission to this event is free\, space is limited; registration is strongly encouraged. \nCLICK HERE to Register \n\n \n\nThis program is part of the Conflict & Community: Salem\, Essex County\, and the American Revolution lecture series. This series is a partnership between Essex Heritage and Salem Maritime National Historical Park and highlights the unique role of Essex County communities during the American Revolution. CLICK HERE or more information about Conflict & Community programs.

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Leader – Colonel John Glover & his Crucial Leadership in 1776
DESCRIPTION:John Glover is justly the most famous and celebrated of Marblehead’s hundreds of Revolutionary servicemen due to his capable and resolute leadership of his intrepid and unflinching Continental Army regiment during the war’s first year and a half\, through December 1776\, while he was a Colonel. Although the numbers of his soldiers were somewhat in flux as hundreds would leave to serve as captains and crews on privateer vessels\, nearly 600 men and teenaged boys served in the rebel Patriot army in June 1775. This talk will primarily discuss Colonel Glover’s time as commander of that so-called “Marblehead Regiment” (1775 – 76). But it will focus on the pivotal last four months of 1776 –– from the crucial evacuation of Long Island that saved Commander-in-Chief George Washington’s entire army of 9\,000 men and equipment\, to the pivotal December Crossing of the Delaware River in lashing sleet (and back again\, in worsened conditions\, with two grueling nine-mile marches in between)\, which saved the war effort itself. \nAfterward\, most of Col. Glover’s remaining men returned home\, and would join their mates in privateering –– to Glover’s frustration\, though a handful of stalwart officers stayed in the army with him. Colonel Glover was promoted to General in Feb. 1777\, and served throughout the rest of the war’s 7 long years. He retired from service in 1782\, as hostilities on the N. American continent finally ended. \nLarry Sands is the captain of Glover’s Marblehead Regiment\, a reenactment unit established in 1974. A member for over 35 years\, he has filled all leadership roles and has participated in reenactments of every engagement in which the original regiment served. \n
