Teaching American History with Sarah Igo and François Furstenberg

November 2, 2016 at the Boston Athenæum.Why might an obscure pamphlet collection housed in the Boston Athenæum archives offer new insights on the abolition movement of the late eighteenth century? It’s simple: the tract collection belonged to George Washington. In this lecture, Professor of History François Furstenberg will explore the early history of abolitionist debates from the perspective of book history, using these leaflets to link Mount Vernon to a broad transatlantic conversation about slavery and freedom.

Parlez-vous Français?  Do you speak French? Believe it or not in the 1790s many Americans spoke French. They may not have spoken the French language, but they understood and embraced French culture, art, and culinary traditions.  Early Americans experimented with and adopted many forms of French culture as they sought to define their new identity as Americans. François Furstenberg, Associate Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University and author of When the United States Spoke French: Five Refugees Who Shaped a Nation, joins us to explore how and why the United States spoke French during the 1790s.  Show Notes: http://www.benfranklinsworld.com/017 Ask the Historian
