Tuesday June 25th, 2013 Amid a Warring World: American Foreign Relations, 1775 -1815 Time: 10:30 AM Location: Historic 1699 Winslow House 06/25/2013
From the American Revolution through the War of 1812, the United States was a small power confronted by great powers hostile to one another and to the United States. According to historian Robert W. Smith, the question of American power lay at the heart of the debate over independence. By the end of the American Revolution, the moderates had won the argument move slowly and only with assured French assistance. But their victory masked the defects of the confederation until the diplomatic humiliations of the 1780s forced the United States to create a government that could properly harness American economic and military power. The controversy over the power of the United States to reshape a hostile world remains as central today.

Thursday August 15th, 2013 The Battle Hymn of the Republic Time: 7:00 PM Location: Historic 1699 Winslow House 08/15/2013
The Battle Hymn of the Republic: A Biography of the Song That Marches On
This Civil War tune originated in antebellum revivalism, Union soldiers then turned it into "John Brown's Body." Julia Ward Howe captured the popular enthusiasm of the time yet she made no reference to a particular time or place, allowing it to be exported or adapted to new conflicts. "The Battle Hymn" has long helped to express what we mean when we talk about sacrifice, about the importance of fighting–in battles both real and allegorical–for the values America represents. It conjures up and confirms some of our most profound conceptions of national identity and purpose. And yet illuminates the fractures and contradictions that underlie the story of our nation.
