Day Three -Joanne Goodman Lecture - In the Declaration’s conclusion, Congress promised that Americans would treat the British as they did the rest of mankind: “enemies in war, in peace friends.” In his final lecture, Professor Gould started with the peace that Americans hoped to secure in 1776.
Day Two of the Joanne Goodman Lectures was well received by a diverse audience of undergraduate, graduates, faculty and the Western community. Prof. Gould spoke on the various unions with which Americans hoped to secure the Revolution’s internal and external goals.
