SUMMARY:Livestream - Louis XVI and the War of American Independence
DESCRIPTION:Watch live online as Professor John Hardman presents the 2019 George Rogers Clark lecture on King Louis XVI’s decision to support the American War for Independence. Louis\, he argues\, was a highly educated ruler who\, though indecisive\, possessed sharp political insight and a talent for foreign policy. Why did the king choose war? Could France have taken another path? \nPresented annually since 1975\, the George Rogers Clark Lecture recognizes the scholarship of leading historians of the American Revolution. Recent Clark Lecturers include Kathleen DuVal\, Andrew O’Shaughnessy\, Maya Jasanoff and Walter Edgar. \n  \nHow to Watch\nThe lecture will be broadcast live on our YouTube channel starting at 6:30 p.m. on Friday\, October 25\, 2019.
