Revolutionary Lecture Series: Dr. Seanegan P. Sculley, author of Contest for Liberty: Military Leadership in the Continental Army

Concluding the 2026 Revolutionary Lecture Series Guilford Courthouse National Military Park proudly hosts Dr. Seanegan P. Sculley author of "Contest for Liberty: Military Leadership in the Continental Army 1775-1783."In the summer of 1775 a Virginia gentleman-planter was given command of a New England army laying siege to British-occupied Boston. With his appointment the Continental Army was born. Yet the cultural differences between those serving in the army and their new commander-in-chief led to conflicts from the very beginning that threatened to end the Revolution before it could start. The key challenge for General George Washington was establishing the standards by which the soldiers would be led by their officers. What kind of man deserved to be an officer? Under what conditions would soldiers agree to serve? And how far could the army and its leaders go to discipline soldiers who violated those enlistment conditions?These questions could not be determined by Washington alone. His junior officers and soldiers believed that they too had a part to play in determining how and to what degree their superior officers exercised military authority and how the army would operate during the war. A cultural negotiation concerning the use of and limits to military authority was worked out between the officers and soldiers of the Continental Army although an unknown concept at the time it is what we call leadership today. How this army was led and how the interactions between officers and soldiers from the various states of the new nation changed their understandings of the proper exercise of military authority was finally codified in General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben’s The Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States first published in 1779. The result was a form of military leadership that recognized the autonomy of the individual soldiers a changing concept of honor and a new American tradition of military service.Seanegan P. Sculley enlisted in the U.S. Army in January 1995 as an airborne infantryman before attending Officer Candidate School in the summer of 1999. He was commissioned as an Armor officer serving at Fort Hood Texas before completing his B.A. in History at Texas State University in December 2002. COL Sculley then deployed to the Republic of Korea from 2003-2005 and earned his M.A. in History at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2007. From 2007-2012 he served as both an instructor and Assistant Professor of History at the United States Military Academy during which time he deployed to Mosul Iraq from 2009-2010. Following his assignment to West Point COL Sculley served at Fort Jackson South Carolina. He earned his Ph.D. in History from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in May 2015. He directed the American History Program at West Point from 2015-202 and currently serves as an Associate Professor and the Director for the Digital History Center in the Department of History at the U.S. Military Academy. COL Sculley is the author of Contest for Liberty: Military Leadership in the Continental Army 1775-1783 (2019).The event is free. Registration is not required.

Lecture: Dr. Antwain K. Hunter, author of A Precarious Balance

Come join us in the Visitor Center Theater at 4:00 P.M. on Saturday, April 4 for a special lecture. Dr. Antwain K. Hunter will discuss his book, A Precarious Balance: Firearms, Race, and Community in North Carolina 1715-1865.Spanning the 1720s through the end of the Civil War, his book explores how free and enslaved Black North Carolinians accessed, possessed, and used firearms—both legal and otherwise—and how the state and white people responded. North Carolinians, whether free or enslaved, Black or white, had different stakes on the issue, all of which impacted the reality of Black people’s gun use.Antwain K. Hunter reveals that armed Black people used firearms for a wide range of purposes. They hunted to feed their families and communities, guarded property, protected crops, and defended maroon communities from outsiders. Further, they resisted the institution of slavery and used guns both against white people and within their own community. Competing views of Black people’s firearm use created social, political, and legal points of contention for different demographics within North Carolina and left the general assembly and white civilians struggling to harness Black people’s armed labor for white people’s benefit. A Precarious Balance challenges readers to rethink how they understand race and firearms in the American past. Antwain K. Hunter is a historian of slavery and freedom in North America, with a current focus on the Carolinas. He serves as an Assistant Professor of History at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Hunter is also in the very early stages of another book project which delves into Black people’s alcohol use and healthiness in antebellum Charleston, South Carolina. He is also working on two article length projects, the first on free North Carolinians of color’s labor at the state’s Confederate forts and the other on role of the veterans of the 28th USCT—Indiana’s only Black Civil War regiment—in that state’s commemoration of the war. This program is free, and seating is available first come first served in the Visitor Center Theater.
