SUMMARY:Ohio & The Revolution Webinar Series VI | They Were There: How the American Revolution was Shaped by Hidden Figures
DESCRIPTION:They Were There: How the American Revolution was Shaped by Hidden Figures\nThe Revolutionary War was heavily contested between the British Crown and independence-seeking American colonists from 1775-1781. The sixth installment of “Ohio & The Revolution” will examine some of the lesser-known hidden figures of those who made contributions to American independence well behind the ranks of public figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.\nNumerous American Indian allies, African Americans, women, recent immigrants, teenagers and others also greatly impacted events leading to the world being turned upside down, as it was described at the time. Join America 250-Ohio and a panel of experts to discuss Ohio and the American Revolution from a slightly different perspective.\nThis webinar is free to attend. Registration is required to receive a link. A recording will be made available after the webinar and posted to America 250-Ohio’s YouTube channel.\nRegister Here\n \nPanelists for the April 23, 2026 Ohio & The Revolution\n \nDr. John Bickers — Assistant Professor, Case Western Reserve University\nDr. John Bickers is an assistant professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland where he researches early American history and is a citizen of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma.
