The Declaration of Independence—officially titled “The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America”—was far more than a declaration of war against the British Empire. Join historian Mark Albertson as he explores how this foundational document transformed scattered local uprisings into a cohesive national revolution. Discover how 56 signers from 13 colonies forged the political unity that bound a fragile coalition together and ultimately paved the way for the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.In addition to teaching at Norwalk Community College for many years, Mark Albertson is the historical research editor at Army Aviation magazine in Monroe, Connecticut; and, is the historian for the Army Aviation Association of America. He has authored several books—USS Connecticut: Constitution State Battleship, They’ll Have to Follow You! The Triumph of the Great White Fleet, and On History: A Treatise—as well as articles in numerous magazines and newspapers. As a speaker, Mark lectures on a wide variety of topics related to history, current events and politics; and does so in a wide variety of venues.
