This central moment in American history has shaped our national self-perception for 250 years even as writers and scholars have debated the origins and meaning of the events of 1776 from the time they occurred until today. Inspired by these discussions and the national commemoration of independence, the David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society is convening a conference in June 2026. What beliefs turned a diffuse movement protesting imperial policy into a radical republican revolution in 1776? How did the events of 1776 play out in the communities that experienced them? How did independence change American society? And how have the legacies of independence shaped America? We seek to bring together scholars, public intellectuals, leaders of cultural organizations and others who have an interest in the Revolution and its commemoration to examine and debate these and related questions. We call for papers on topics including, &nbsp;but not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The failure of imperial reform and collapse of imperial control in British North America.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Revolution\u2019s ideological and social origins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Declaration as document and artifact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The coming of the Revolution in Philadelphia and its consequences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Popular sovereignty in revolutionary theory and constitutional practice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The impact of political independence on the enslaved and African American understandings of the Revolution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The opponents of independence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The impact of independence on family and gender relations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foreign reaction to the Declaration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Artistic representation, material culture and their transformation in the revolutionary age.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revolutionary biography and the personalities of revolution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warfare before and after independence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The impact of the Revolutionary War on Native American nations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Memory and national celebration of independence over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The meaning of 1776 in 2026.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants should submit a title and a 250-word proposal along with a C.V. by June 23, 2025 via&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apply.interfolio.com\/163800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interfolio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact Information                                                                                                                                                                          Thomas Johns (tjohns@amphilsoc.org)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact Email                                                                                                                                                                          tjohns@amphilsoc.org<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>URL                                                                                                                                                                          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amphilsoc.org\/americas-1776-independence-and-its-enduring-legacies-\u2026\">https:\/\/www.amphilsoc.org\/americas-1776-independence-and-its-enduring-legacies-\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brenna Holland (she\/her) Location PAUnited States July 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
