Join us as Jeffrey M. Griffith and Hannah Farber, in conversation with Ann Marsh Daly, explore the financing of the American Revolution and the creation and implementation of economic systems in the new nation. During the war, economies in Massachusetts and across the Atlantic were impacted by American boycotts, loans, and the cost of war efforts. Individuals like John Hancock were instrumental in supplying troops with materials and weapons that contributed to the Revolution’s success. Changes and connections forged during the Revolution began to lay foundations for the financial structures created afterwards, whose influences still underpin the US economy.
