How we Lost America. A New Perspective on American Independence

A January display at Surrey History Centre, produced by Aurora Metro Arts and Media with The National Lottery Heritage Fund, exploring American Independence through a British lens, including female revolutionaries, enslaved soldiers and Surrey connections to the revolutionary war.

The January display examines American Independence from a British perspective through satire, newspapers and letters. It presents female revolutionaries, enslaved soldiers seeking liberty, the Portsmouth Harbour bombing and Surrey links to the revolutionary war. Aurora Metro Arts and Media produced the display, supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The display runs during normal opening hours, with no published exact closing day.
