Everyday Goods and the American Revolution
What was the connection between everyday household goods and political resistance on the Eve of Independence? Timothy Breen, director of the Center for Historical Studies at Northwestern University, explains how everyday goods were linked to the mobilization of ordinary Americans through boycotts of the consumer marketplace.
Light refreshments will follow the discussion. Seating is limited. Free tickets are available at Cape Fear Museum. Call 910.798.4362 for more information.
Community Conversation is made possible in part by a grant from the North Carolina Humanities Council, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
