If This Be Treason… Dressing the Liberty Pole in 1774

Fellow Citizens hark to the meeting of the County Committee of Safety and join us in a debate over the County Resolves and the 1774 Articles of Association. In 1774 to citizens of Virginia were divided between those who wished to stay loyal to the King of England and those who wished to rebel against the Crown over the taxes on tea and other imported goods. Are you for or against the declared boycott? Perhaps you wish to remain neutral? Will you sign the articles of association and join the rebels in dressing the Liberty Pole? Join us for a slice of colonial politics as we peer into the origins of the Virginia Bill of Rights and explore our shared colonial history.
