About this event
Instructor: Dr. Arthur Turfa holds a master’s in History from Binghamton University. A Retired Reservist with Veteran Status, he has taught military history classes and taught History as an adjunct at several postsecondary institutions in Pennsylvania. Through his other studies and courses, he is uniquely equipped to address the issues surrounding the 1745 Rising and Jacobinism. Description: The Glorious Revolution of 1688 forced James II from the throne. There were attempts to regain it for himself and his descendants through his son, James. The movement derived its name from the Latin form of James, Jacobus. This course will examine the attempts to restore the Stuarts for a second time in 1690, 1715, 1719, and 1745. The latter came the closest but was marred by external factors and internal dissension. We will examine reasons why people became/remained Jacobites.
