For our next virtual America250 Book Club, we are reading Occupied America: British Military Rule and the Experience of Revolution by Donald F. Johnson. Instead of covering military or political decisions, this book explores a lesser-discussed side of the war: the psychological impact of military occupation on the average colonial citizen and how that affected the outcome of the revolution. We will read about how each major American city reacted to occupation and how people used these times as opportunities for both personal advancement and patriotic fervor. This program is only open to members of SCHS. To register and receive more information, including a list of meeting dates and the first reading assignment, please email Madeline at programs@schenectadyhistorical.org.
