Republic and Empire with Andrew O’Shaughnessy

April 9, 2026

| 6:30 am - 7:30 am

Lectures | Charleston County

Join us in partnership with the South Carolina Historical Society as we approach our country’s 250th anniversary — we have explored many different angles of the Revolution – those specific to South Carolina, further narrowed to the Lowcountry, the thirteen colonies as a whole, and much, much more. But what of the Loyalists? Those who didn’t stand up to British rule and supported the empire and its endeavors? We are highly anticipating the return of celebrated author and renowned historian Andrew O’Shaughnessy for his latest, another perspective on the Revolutionary era – perhaps a more expanded context from what might be more broadly familiar. Joining O’Shaughnessy in conversation will be South Carolina Historical Society CEO, Elizabeth Chew.
