SUMMARY:The Heathenish and Absurd Idea of Manifest Destiny: Connecticut’s Critique of Manifest Destiny\, 1848-1871
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and visitors to join us for a brown bag lunch talk with Daniel Burge\, a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) fellow who will be conducting research here this spring. \nDr. Burge’s research focuses on people who opposed the idea of manifest destiny – the notion that American was destined to expand across all of North America. Historians have argued that manifest destiny was popular and pervasive in the United States from 1846-1854\, but Dr. Burge has found that many Americans remained troubled at the idea of continental expansion. While many politicians\, racial theorists\, and economic boosters remained steadfast in their belief that the United States would annex Canada\, Mexico\, and Cuba\, ordinary Americans were far less confident in the continental future of the nation. \nThis talk focuses on Connecticut and the ways in which individuals from Connecticut challenged the central tenets of manifest destiny. Historians have often drawn a tenuous link between Puritan theology and the emergence of manifest destiny in the 1840s. In contrast\, Dr. Burge argues that manifest destiny was challenged most often by New Englanders because of its biblical underpinnings. Literary\, political\, and religious leaders such as John A. Rockwell\, Truman Smith\, Leonard Bacon\, and Lydia Sigourney marshalled a cohesive and sustained attack on manifest destiny over the nineteenth century\, often relying upon religion. In January of 1846\, John A. Rockwell\, a US Congressman from Connecticut\, delivered a speech on expansionism in which he labelled the idea of manifest destiny “heathenish and absurd.” Manifest destiny did not sweep through the nation without dissent. It was challenged at every turn and thwarted on numerous occasions. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert; bring your lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by March 20 by calling (860) 236-5621 x238 or emailing rsvp@chs.org. Questions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org.

SUMMARY:Debating Democracy in the Revolutionary Age
DESCRIPTION:American democracy has always been riven with tensions between inclusive and exclusionary visions of who constitutes the body politic.

Her research at CMCH is focused on Vermonters with roots in Connecticut: specifically\, future Congressman Matthew Lyon\, and African-American abolitionist Jeffrey Brace\, who had been enslaved in Connecticut. She is especially interested in CMCH’s slavery and abolition collection\, the “Rare Survivors” collection\, and the papers of Roger Griswold\, Samson Occum\, and Lydia Huntley Sigourney. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert; bring your lunch to enjoy during the talk.

SUMMARY:Anglicanism in Colonial Connecticut: Conversion\, Revivalism\, and Loyalism
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and visitors to join us for a brown bag lunch talk with Dr. Peter Walker of Providence College\, a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) fellow who will be conducting research here this spring. \nThe subject of his talk is  the Anglican Church in colonial Connecticut. The Anglican clergy in Connecticut supplied some of the best-known American loyalists. Why did this small minority play such an important role in the American Revolution? The answer to this question lies in the Puritan history of the colony\, which fostered an influential Anglican revival in the mid-eighteenth century. Dr. Walker will share the results of his research at CMCH with you in this informal presentation. \nPeter Walker received his PhD from Columbia University in 2016. He is working on a book titled The Church Militant: Anglicanism\, Loyalism\, and Counterrevolution in the British Empire\, 1720-1800. He teaches history at Providence College. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert; bring your lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by Thursday\, June 7 by calling (860) 236-5621 x238 or emailing rsvp@chs.org. Questions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org.
