David Allen Lambert - Friend or Foe?

• Nearly 250 years ago, America declared its independence from the British Empire, changing the course of history. While many took up the cause and supported revolution, others remained loyal to the British government—turning friends into foes and pitting neighbor against neighbor. 
• In this lecture, Chief Genealogist David Allen Lambert will discuss how to research your colonial ancestors and determine if—and how—they may have served the cause of the American Revolution.

Stan Wills -  Flags, Uniforms & Weapons: The Making of a Revolution

Dolly Webb - The Rest of the Story: An Exploration of the Loyalist Perspective 

A challenge to the traditional 'traitor' narrative by examining how Loyalists—driven by a sophisticated ideology of constitutional restraint and fear of mob rule—sought to preserve the benefits of the British Empire while navigating the chaos of a civil war. We will explore the diverse makeup of the Loyalist population, ranging from enslaved individuals seeking freedom to Native Americans protecting land claims, to demonstrate that loyalty to the Crown was often a  choice for survival . Then there were the Quakers and  “fence sitters” caught in the middle of a revolution not of their choosing.

It involves transitioning from "climbing the tree" to verifying the roots through advanced research techniques and critical analysis.
