After Lexington, before Yorktown, before our independence was declared, Patriot forces met Loyalist troops at Moore’s Creek Bridge in North Carolina. On this week's episode of Constitutional Chats, we travel back 250 years and explore the events, key figures, and lasting significance of the Battle of Moore’s Creek Bridge, explaining why this early Patriot victory helped pave the way for independence and remains a crucial moment in Revolutionary War history.

Constitutional Chats are hosted by Janine Turner, Cathy Gillespie, student ambassadors, and experts who join us weekly to discuss hot-topic issues! The audience is not on camera, but you may ask questions!
