This April, The Boca Raton Historical Society is proud to present America250 Town Hall Talks reflecting and honoring American history and the contributions of all Americans!

Join us on April 8, 2026, as we unravel the mysteries behind the Revolutionary War in a event that will challenge your historical knowledge! How did thirteen colonies take on the most powerful empire in the world — and win?

Dr. Jason Sharples, professor of early American history and world civilizations at Florida Atlantic University, presents an in-depth lecture examining the strategic dimensions of the Revolutionary War. Moving beyond familiar stories of battles and founding fathers, this talk explores the military planning, global politics, and high-stakes decisions that shaped the outcome of America’s fight for independence.

Discover how leadership, geography, foreign alliances, and calculated risks influenced the war’s turning points — and why strategy, not just spirit, determined victory.

Join us for an engaging evening of historical insight, analysis, and discussion.
