If This Be Treason…Dressing the Liberty Pole in 1774

If This Be Treason…Dressing the Liberty Pole in 1774

About

Hear ye! Hear ye! Come to the County Committee of Safety meeting, and join us in a debate over the Articles of Association. In 1774, Virginia was divided between those who wished to stay loyal to the King of England and those who wished to rebel against the taxes on tea and other imported goods.

Are you FOR or AGAINST the declared boycott?
Perhaps, you wish to remain NEUTRAL?
Will you sign the Articles of Association and join the rebels in dressing the Liberty Pole?

Join us for a slice of colonial politics as we explore the origins of the Virginia Bill of Rights and our shared colonial history.
