“God Save the King”: Song and Loyalist Publicity in Revolutionary America, Exhibit Talk for the 250 American Revolution
"What were the social and political ramifications of sounding like a loyalist?"
This question raises problems of allegiance and belonging and brings into relief the edges of what it meant to be a British American in an America that was struggling to shed its ties to Britain. What were the revolutionary Americans supposed to do with their loyalist friends and neighbors, especially when those people (who, until very recently, were congregants and ministers, local merchants and business partners, sometimes even family) decided to cause a ruckus?
Join Dr. Michael Weisenburg, Director of the Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, as he explores these questions in the midst of America's 250th anniversary of independence. After the talk, take a minute to walk through University Libraries' 2026 exhibit Echoes of Independence: 250 Years of Revolution and Memorialization. .
Admission Cost: Free.
