SUMMARY:Educator Seminar: “From 1776 to 1787: “How did we get from the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution?”
DESCRIPTION:The United States came into being on July 4, 1776, when the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. Or did it? Declaring independence was one thing, winning it and securing international recognition were entirely different challenges. Once independence was achieved Americans had to create new, republican, governments. They experimented with different constitutional forms, both at the state and national levels, before settling on the Federal Constitution in 1787. This workshop, offered by Prof Frank Cogliano (co-author with Peter S. Onuf of the forthcoming, Thomas Jefferson Survives: American Independence in His Time and Ours) considers the constitutional journey the United States undertook between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, through a study of the major documents that established the foundation of the new republic. It also considers the question of citizenship in the new republic and considers who was included, and excluded from the Declaration’s assertion of universal equality.\nFrank Cogliano is Professor of American History at the University of Edinburgh. He was educated at Tufts University and Boston University. A specialist in the history of the American Revolution and the early United States, he is the author or editor of eleven books. In February 2024 Harvard University Press published his most recent book: Revolutionary Friendship: Washington, Jefferson and the American Republic. Next year he and Peter S. Onuf will publish Jefferson’s\nMoment with Norton/Liveright. Along with Patrick Griffin, Christa Dierksheide and Elig Gould he edits the Revolutionary Age series for the University of Virginia Press. He co-hosts the American history podcast The Whiskey Rebellion and has made numerous media appearances, commenting on U.S. history, politics and international relations, for\nthe BBC and other outlets.\n \n
