The Spirit of '76: John Marshall, the Revolution, and the New Nation

Join us as we explore the origins and rhetoric of the American Revolution, why a young John Marshall eagerly enlisted to serve, and stories and impacts from his time fighting for independence! This educator-led program will also discuss political planning in the new nation. Exercising skills in historical inquiry, primary source analysis, spatial understanding and reasoning, and critical thinking, students will consider why, how, and for whom America’s founding generation debated the future of the country.
