SUMMARY:Butts Hill Fort Volunteer Fall Cleanup

Bring work gloves and dress warmly. \nThe largest Revolutionary War earthwork in southern New England\, Butts Hill Fort served as American Continental Army’s Headquarters for Major General John Sullivan\, Major General Nathanael Greene\, and Brigadier General John Glover during the August 1778 Newport Campaign and the culminating Battle of Rhode Island. As the central anchor of the American lines stretching from Narragansett Bay to the Sakonnet\, it proved to be unassailable by attacking British and German forces. Later in 1780-81 French and American troops under the command of Comte de Rochambeau\, and at the direction of Marquis de Lafayette improved and expanded the fort into the design that exists today. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and on the National Park Service’s Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail. The goal of the Restoration Committee is to return it to public use as an historical\, educational\, and recreational asset. \nThe Battle of Rhode Island Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit committed to restoring and preserving Butts Hill Fort and raising awareness of Rhode Island’s role in the War for Independence. Donations may be made payable to “BoRIA” at PO Box 626\, Portsmouth\, RI 02871 or by visiting: https://battleofrhodeisland.org/donate/. \nThe push continues on our Re-take the Hill campaign\, our end goal is to raise enough funds to work on the Northern Ramparts which is the oldest part of the fort.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture—Old World Meets New World: Franco-American Encounters\, 1776-1783
DESCRIPTION:Historian Robert Selig discusses the experiences of the French soldiers who fought for the under the Comte de Rochambeau during the American Revolution. Arriving in Newport in July 1780\, Rochambeau’s soldiers stepped into a brave new world whose societal norms and modes of social interaction differed radically from their own. Rochambeau’s soldiers knew almost nothing about America and its people\, and what they thought they knew were preconceptions based on ideals of the Enlightenment. Getting to know their ally proceeded through a slow and sometimes painful educational process as few Americans had ever previously met Frenchmen. American expectations of the new ally had grown over decades of anti-French and anti-Catholic propaganda\, often causing them to view French soldiers more as an old enemy rather than a new friend. Drawing from extensive research of primary source materials\, this talk examines the moments when mutual prejudices and preconceptions encountered reality and how Frenchmen\, or Americans\, reacted to personal encounters that proved\, or disproved\, what they had expected. \nRegistration is requested.
