SUMMARY:Patriots and Loyalists: Revolutionary Dissension in a Cheshire County Town
DESCRIPTION:Patriots and Loyalists: Revolutionary Dissension in a Cheshire County Town\nFree | Registration is required Historical Society of Cheshire County Events – Upcoming Activities and Tickets | Eventbrite \nJoin Senior Historian Alan Rumrill to examine the drama of a small town’s response to the American Revolution. \nOliver Parker was one of the first settlers and the undisputed political leader of Stoddard\, New Hampshire in the mid-1770s. When the Revolutionary War began\, Parker spoke out against the Patriot cause. He quickly lost favor in the town and was branded as a disreputable Loyalist. Was it only Parker’s Loyalist views that damaged his reputation\, or were other factors in play? Learn about the Patriots of Stoddard\, their contentious disputes with the town’s outspoken Loyalist\, and how the upheaval of war can inflame personal disagreements. \nSponsored  by Fenton Family Dealerships and the Putnam Foundation with additional support from Mascoma Bank\, C&S Wholesale Grocers\, Ingram Construction\, Harrisville Designs\, and Douglas Toys.  Community partners include Mt. Caesar Union Library and the city of Keene’s Monadnock 250 organizers.
