Did you know there were more than two dozen charges against King George listed in the Declaration? Want to know what those were all about? Who were the British rogues behind the charges? This talk is a deep dive into the forgotten body of the Declaration, the 27 grievances that were the Revolutionaries’ dealbreakers in 1776.

Robert Parkinson is professor of history at Binghamton University and the author of four books on Revolutionary America. His latest is Tyrants and Rogues: Understanding the Declaration of Independence (W.W. Norton, 2026).
