Divided Loyalties: Loyalists and the American Revolution as a Civil War in Maine
Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking presentation with Michael Dekker as he explores a lesser-told side of the American Revolution right here in Maine.
While the Revolution is often remembered as a united fight for independence, the reality was far more complex. In this compelling lecture, Michael examines how the war divided neighbors, families, and entire communities — revealing how, for many in Maine, the Revolution functioned more like a civil war than a distant struggle against Britain. Discover the stories of Loyalists, Patriots, and the difficult choices they faced during this turbulent time.
