SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture - Displaced: The Siege of Boston and the "Donation People" of 1775
DESCRIPTION:In 1775\, the British army seethed within Boston as the Continental Army besieged the city\, compelling thousands of civilians to flee to the surrounding countryside. General George Washington and the Massachusetts Provincial Congress coordinated efforts to support the influx of displaced persons while attempting to protect the Continental Army from smallpox flaring in Boston. Many refugees—including infirm\, ill and elderly individuals as well as mothers and children—were removed and relocated to towns across Massachusetts. Katie Turner Getty discusses the plight of those civilians during the Siege of Boston and the hardships the displaced endured during the outbreak of war. \nThe talk will last approximately one hour on Zoom. Registration is required to access the virtual author’s talk. \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nKatie Turner Getty is an independent researcher and writer\, focusing on the American Revolution with an emphasis on the Siege of Boston.
