Independence Lost: Lives on the Edge of the American Revolution

October 6, 2015

Kathleen DuVal, Professor of History

In her new book, Independence Lost: Lives on the Edge of the American Revolution, historian Kathleen DuVal brings us a less-familiar story of America’s founding: the history of the Revolutionary Era as experienced by slaves, American Indians, women, and British loyalists living on Florida’s Gulf Coast. We’ll meet these marginalized individuals and learn how the choices they made were crucial to the war’s outcome.
