SUMMARY:Live from the Boathouse! Matt Warshauer presents When the CT River Decided the Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Live from the Boathouse!\nMatt Warshauer presents When the CT River Decided the Revolution\nWednesday\, October 21\, 2026\n6 – 7 p.m. \nThis lecture will be available in person and over Zoom. Prices are listed below.  \nIn-person Pricing:\nMembers: FREE \nNon-Members: $10.00 \nVirtual Pricing:\nMembers: FREE\nNon-Members: $5.00 \nALL Members\, Non-Members\, and virtual attendees must use the link below to reserve your spot. Virtual attendees will be sent the live stream link after purchasing a Virtual Ticket. \nRESERVE YOUR SPOT \nWe know that the Connecticut River divides Red Sox and Yankee fans\, but did you know it also determined Connecticut’s revolutionary outlook?  There existed in the colony a distinct East of the River or West of the River outlook on everything from economics to religion to land availability\, all of which shaped a violent and politically driven revolt on the part of the East.  Join Matt Warshauer as he presents this lecture to learn more! \nMatt Warshauer is a CSU (CT State University) Distinguished Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University\, where he received his bachelor’s degree in American Studies. Fascinated by what he calls “the American paradox\,” the ever-challenging conundrum between the nation’s founding document and the difficulties of pursuing essential ideas of freedom\, Warshauer pursued an MA and Ph.D. at Saint Louis University. He has spent the last 40 years exploring the great American experiment in self-government. The author of six books and countless articles and reviews\, Warshauer has written extensively on Andrew Jackson\, slavery and the Civil War\, and\, most recently\, 9/11 and how the most important and devastating event of the 21st century has impacted the world in which we live. Creating and Failing the 9/11 Generation: The Real Story of September 11 was released from Routledge Press. He is currently studying the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War era\, as the 250th anniversary allows the nation to reflect on the origins and meaning of America. With a unique ability to draw in his audience\, Warshauer guides listeners through the complexities of American\npolitical and constitutional history so that we can all think more clearly and gain a better of understanding of our role as citizens.
