DESCRIPTION:Revolution remembered. Revolution reimagined. Revolution rebor
 n.Dr. Sam W. Haynes, professor at University of Texas at Arlington, brings
  the story of the American Revolution forward into the 19th century, revea
 ling how its ideals echoed far beyond 1776. As the United States approache
 s its 250th anniversary, this program explores how the language, memory an
 d myth of the “Spirit of ’76” shaped the rebellion in Texas and the 
 movement that ultimately led to independence from Mexico.Often overlooked 
 in discussions of the Texas Revolution is the extent to which Anglo-Texans
  consciously looked backward—drawing on revolutionary rhetoric, symbols,
  and strategies from the founding era to interpret their conflict with Mex
 ico City. By tracing these connections, Dr. Haynes reveals how the legacy 
 of 1776 was not just remembered, but actively repurposed—offering a powe
 rful lens on how Americans have continually reimagined the meaning of revo
 lution, liberty and independence across generations.This Genealogy & D
 allas History program is part of Dallas Public Library's 250 Years of
  Us: Reading America's Past, Writing Our Future, generously sponsored

 apter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Dive into the past all
