Special History Study: How the American Revolution Changed the Southeast
Southeast Regional Office » Special History Study: How the American Revolution Changed the Southeast » Document List
The National Park Service's Interior Region 2 National Historic Landmarks (NHL) Program commissioned a Special History Study in advance of the 250th anniversary (or "Semiquincentennial") of the United States of America. The study will support the interpretation of National Historic Landmarks (NHLs) in the Southeastern United States. The study will explore many different groups experienced the revolution, including Indigenous groups, women, African Americans, and people living in other territorial entities beyond those of the English colonies. States and territories covered by this study include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Although many NHLs have a connection to the Revolution through direct association with the war itself, this study will also consider the influence the American Revolution had on later periods as the American experiment is an ongoing one. The narrative will include histories that post-date the revolution and will investigate how the ideals of the American Revolution are related to later historical events.
