Panel on Friendship During the Federalist Period

How did friendships shape our democracy, and how has democracy shaped our understanding of friendship? Dumbarton House will explore these questions and more with a virtual panel discussion on the history of friendship, tonight from 8 pm – 9 pm. Dr. Cassandra Good, Dr. Richard Godbeer, and Dr. Janet Lindman will share their research on friendships of all sorts in the Federal period. Grab a friend and hop on Zoom to explore everything from friendships among founding fathers and mothers, to friendship as the building blocks of democracy.
