British No More: British Subject to American Citizen

A hands-on workshop with Professor Eugene Van Sickle

The American Revolution did more than break ties with Britain—it reshaped how people understood themselves and their place in a new nation. In 1776, colonists who had once been British subjects began to imagine a different future as Americans, but the meaning of citizenship was still taking shape. This event explores that important turning point in a way that is welcoming, engaging, and easy to follow for everyone.

Join Dr. Eugene Van Sickle, Professor of History at the University of North Georgia, and UNG students for an interactive exploration of founding documents. Together, participants will study and analyze primary sources to discover how America’s founders began defining citizenship.
