North Jersey American Revolution Round Table Meeting

North Jersey American Revolution Round Table Meeting

The next meeting of the North Jersey American Revolution Round Table will take place on February 12 at 7 PM. The event will be held on Zoom only.

The speaker, Colin Calloway, is a leading scholar on the role of Native Americans in the Revolutionary War. His talk will focus on the 1791 defeat of the U.S. Army under Arthur St. Clair by a coalition of Indigenous peoples.

In November 1791, Indigenous nations fighting to defend their independence destroyed the army that George Washington had sent to end resistance beyond the Ohio River. By many measures, it remains the worst defeat in U.S. Army history and sent shock waves through the young republic. Despite its significance, the battle has received relatively little attention. The causes, events, and consequences of St. Clair’s campaign reveal much about early American expansion and its impact on both Americans and Native Americans.
