New Jersey – Crossroads of the American Revolution
September 30 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, join local historian Jim Segrave-Daly for a lively discussion about the pivotal role New Jersey played. With more than 90 military engagements in the state during the Revolution, the actions of Loyalists & Patriots contributed greatly to America’s ultimate victory. Strategically located between British-controlled New York & the Continental capital of Philadelphia, South Jersey was critical to controlling the Delaware River & supplying both armies, especially during the Philadelphia Campaign of 1777.
Jim (thelocalhistorygeek.com) has presented to libraries & civic organizations nationwide. He is an active member of the Radnor Historical Society, the American Revolution Roundtable of Philadelphia, America250PADelco, Founding Forward, & a volunteer history teacher.
