Remembering America’s First Veterans--Free Workshop for Florida Teachers

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO COVID-19!
Saturday, April 4, 2020
SARASOTA MIDDLE SCHOOL
4826 Ashton Road, Sarasota, Florida
9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
James Madison wrote that veterans of the American Revolution suffered a “singular hardship” that “can never be forgotten.” Yet because America’s civilian population suffered enormously during the eight-year conflict, honoring veterans for their “singular” service took more than a generation. Enlisted men like Joseph Plumb Martin, who served seven years in the Continental Army, were left feeling “turned adrift like old worn-out horses” until the early nineteenth century, when prosperity coupled with romantic sentiment toward the Revolution fostered an appreciation for the sacrifices made by the heroes of the War of Independence. This workshop telling the story of America’s First Veterans will feature historian Edward Lengel, Senior Director of Programming at the National World War II Museum, and the library and museum collections of the American Revolution Institute. Attendees will receive primary source-based classroom activities which align to Title XLVIII, Chapter 1003.42 (2)(a), (f) and (t) of the 2018 Florida Statutes.
This free workshop for Florida teachers is co-hosted by the Florida Council for History Education (FLCHE). Lunch will be provided. Registration is required.
To register, contact Stacia Smith, American Revolution Institute Director of Education at ssmith@societyofthecincinnati.org.
