In 1776, signing the Declaration of Independence was not an act of patriotism. It was an act of treason against Great Britain.

Historian Joyce Haworth will share stories of lesser-known Americans in this talk: who they were, what role they played in independence, and what consequences they suffered after they signed the Declaration.
