The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge- February 27, 1776

The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, fought between North Carolina Patriot and Loyalist militia forces, demonstrates the bitter internal divisions that marked the American Revolution. The Loyalist, mostly Scottish Highlanders wielding broadswords, charged across a partially dismantled Moores Creek Bridge, nearly a thousand North Carolina Patriots waited quietly with cannons and muskets poised to fire. Expecting to find only a small Patriot force, the Loyalist advanced across the bridge. Shots rang out and 30 to 70 Loyalist lay wounded or dead, including Lt. Col. Donald McLeod, who led the charge. Stunned, outgunned, and leaderless, some of the Loyalist surrendered, while others retreated in confusion.

Moores Creek is the site of the first Patriot victory in the American Revolution and the site of the last Scottish Highland broadsword charge. The victory ended British authority in the colony and stalled a full-scale British invasion of the South for nearly four years. The resulting Halifax Resolves of April 12, 1776, instructed North Carolina’s delegates to the Continental Congress to vote for independence; it was the first American colony to take such action in writing.

135th Congress Registration

Please go to the following site for more information: 135th Congress

Please ensure that you read the cancellation and reimbursement policy listed on the Congress webpage here: Congress Late Registration and Reimbursement Policy

If you have issues with registration, please contact either Kelly Moore (502) 588-6123, or Paul Callanan (704) 756-0363 to see if we can assist you in the process.

Special Notes:

ALL GUESTS - spouse, significant other, or otherwise - MUST PAY THE FULL REGISTRATION FEE. 

THESE EVENTS ARE NOW FULL: ALL TOURS, COLOR GUARD BREAKFAST, LADIES LUNCHEON, GREAT LAKES & CENTRAL DISTRICT BREAKFAST, SOUTHERN & NEW ENGLAND DISTRICT BREAKFAST. If you wish to be placed on a wait list, please email Paul Callanan, ltcmrsc@aol.com.  

Gentlemen, if you want your spouse and guests to be seated with you at events, it is imperative that when you do your registration that you register them using the same state in the state society block. If not, Congress Planners cannot guarantee that seating can be fixed at Congress.

If you do not fill in the state society for both you and your guests, then the guests may not show up on the list for seating.

LATE REGISTRATION WILL BE FROM MIDNIGHT ON 21 JUNE TO MIDNIGHT ON 5 JULY. At that time, registration will close. Late registrants are not guaranteed that they will receive a Congress bag, and seating at the banquets will be dependent on seating availability.

Anyone needing to be registered as a delegate after that time will be allowed to do so at Congress and are not guaranteed that they will be able to attend any banquets, receive a Congress bag, or sign up for any a la carte events.

Any registration after 21 JUNE must pay the late registration fee ($100), and an additional $10 for any a la carte event added.

When you register online, you will receive a confirmation email that also act as your receipt. This confirmation lists everything you booked on your registration. Please be sure to check your confirmation to make sure everything you thought you booked is listed. If anything is incorrect, please contact National.

If you see $90 listed on your receipt next to the President General's Banquet, that cost is not a duplicate charge and is not counted in your total as this event is included in the registration fee. It is a quirk of the system that it shows up on the receipt. It can be ignored.

All registrants and their guests will be required to go through Registration at Congress to pick up their packets and nametags. At that time, the events that people are registered for will be verified so that we do not have issues later with some people thinking they are on certain tours but were not registered for them.

There will be a Memorial Service honoring our deceased Compatriots at the Congress. The service is not listed because a headcount is not needed; this service will be held at the Mohegan Sun where there is ample seating space for all attendees

Privately Owned Weapons: Please do not bring your licensed firearms to Congress. As briefed at Spring Leadership, they are not allowed on the reservation and cannot be secured in your car. This applies to all members of the SAR attending Congress. Their rules do not allow anyone, including Law Enforcement, to carry on the reservation unless actively engaged in an ongoing investigation and then only with their permission. Your concealed weapon permit is not recognized on the reservation regardless of what state issued it.

Color Guard: This is a reminder that no edged weapons are authorized to be carried by the color guard members. The only exceptions are the National Color Guard Staff and the Commander of the Ring Ceremony, who are authorized to carry their swords. As was briefed at the Spring Leadership, please do not bring any black powder and cartridges for weapons to the Congress. They are not allowed, since we will not be doing any musket firing during Congress.

There will be Merchandise at Congress. Most of the items will be SAR apparel. There will be limited items such as VPG and General Officers’ sashes and pins for incoming Trustees and VPGs. There will not be any awards or other such items. If you need them for the Congress, please ensure you order them from the store so they can be shipped to your home prior to the Congress.

Reminder that the Congress Report Book will be on ShareFile only. Please ensure you have access to ShareFile before coming to Congress.

All tours have limited seating due to restrictions on space for people to be able to attend. This includes the Ladies Luncheon, Ft Griswold/Old Norwichtown (Gravemarking & 250th Event), Mystic Seaport, Pequot Museum, and the Governor John Trumbull War Office and Home (250th Event).

George Washington's Dilemmas: Decisions that Helped Define a Nation

June 6-8, 2025

The Maryland Inn
16 Church Circle
Annapolis, Maryland 21401

George Washington was “First in War, first in Peace,” Light Horse Harry Lee wrote in 1799, “and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” Others believed that Washington had demonstrated himself to be first in terms of judgment, as well. Thomas Jefferson observed that “the strongest feature of his character was prudence” because he never acted “until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed.” John Adams also praised his “thoughtful Temper and prudent Foresight.” Even a young Scottish traveler ascertained that “he never undertakes anything without having first well considered of it and consulted different people. But when once he has begun anything, no obstacle or difficulty can come in his way.” What explains the care with which Washington confronted specific dilemmas? How did his decision making process evolve during the course of his consequential life? George Washington’s Dilemmas: Decisions that Helped Define a Nation will explore some of the dilemmas encountered by Washington at various points during his life. How did he define his options? How did he balance sometimes competing considerations? From whom did he seek advice? What characterized the manner in which he moved forward? What do Washington’s dilemmas and the ways in which he confronted them tell us about him as a thinker and leader shaped by and shaping late eighteenth century America?

Robert M. S. McDonald and Seanegan P. Sculley, both of the U.S. Military Academy, are jointly serving as SAR Distinguished Scholars for this conference. George Washington’s Dilemmas: Decisions that Helped Define a Nation shall be dedicated to W.W. Abbot, of the Papers of George Washington, University of Virginia.

Twelve Papers in Four Sessions

• Denver Brunsman, George Washington University

• William M. Ferraro, Papers of George Washington, University of Virginia
• John W. Hall, University of Wisconsin, Madison

The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge – February 27, 1776

The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, fought between North Carolina Patriot and Loyalist militia forces, demonstrates the bitter internal divisions that marked the American Revolution. The Loyalists, mostly Scottish Highlanders wielding broadswords, charged across a partially dismantled Moores Creek Bridge, nearly a thousand North Carolina Patriots waited quietly with cannons and muskets poised to fire. Expecting to find only a small Patriot force, the Loyalist advanced across the bridge. Shots rang out and 30 to 70 Loyalists lay wounded or dead, including Lt. Col. Donald McLeod, who led the charge. Stunned, outgunned, and leaderless, some of the Loyalists surrendered, while others retreated in confusion.

Moores Creek is the site of the first Patriot victory in the American Revolution and the site of the last Scottish Highland broadsword charge. The victory ended British authority in the colony and stalled a full-scale British invasion of the South for nearly four years. The resulting Halifax Resolves of April 12, 1776, instructed North Carolina’s delegates to the Continental Congress to vote for independence; it was the first American colony to take such action.

Vendors will be available for lunch at the Battleground.  In addition, around 11:30 AM following the event a fund-raising lunch will be served at the Currie Community Baptist Church.  The cost will be $10 per person; reservations for the meal must be made with John Thornhill by 7 Feb 2018.  Cell phone contact: (910) 284-0232.  Seating is limited; reservations for the meal are required.

On 19 August 1782, American Militia under the command of Colonel John Todd with subordinate officers Lt. Col. Stephen Trigg and Lt. Col.

At the December 6, 2020 meeting of the Board of Trustees, the Trustees approved a recommendation of the Executive Committee to hold a Special Congress for the purpose of considering proposed amendments to Articles V and VIII of the Constitution as proposed by the Bylaws, Rules and Resolutions Committee and the Executive Committee. Notice of the amendments to be considered was mailed from Headquarters on January 6, 2021, as required by Article VIII of the Constitution. The primary purpose of the amendments is to permit attendance at future Congresses by alternative means if authorized by a 2/3 vote of the Board of Trustees. This would enable the SAR to hold its annual Congress during a pandemic or other national emergency in the future.

The Special Congress will be held on Saturday, March 13, 2021, at 10 a.m., in the metropolitan Washington, DC area, with the precise location to be determined by the Special Congress Chairman and notice of the precise location to be given to all Trustees, State Presidents and State Secretaries no later than Saturday, February 13, 2021.

The Trustees have set the registration fee at $100. Only delegates may register and attend. Members who are not delegates, spouses, or other guests may not attend any part of the Special Congress.

c. No Further Business Shall Be Considered by the Special Congress
10. SAR Recessional

Please Note: Only Delegates holding valid credentials from a State Society or the National Society and who were members in good standing on December 31, 2020, will be permitted to attend this Special Congress in person.

* Pursuant to the December 5, 2020 decision of the Board of Trustees, the precise venue of the Special Congress will be announced no later than February 13, 2021. The Special Congress Chairman is authorized to change the time and/or venue (but not the date) of the Special Congress to another time and/or venue in the metropolitan Washington, DC area if pandemic restrictions would prohibit holding the Special Congress at the original time and/or venue, provided that notice is given by all practicable means to all registered delegates.

† Due to the planning requirements for holding a meeting during the global pandemic, late registration forms will not be accepted, unless necessary to ensure that a quorum will be present for the Special Congress.

Michael J. Elston, Special Congress Chairman

The 238th Anniversary

Recognizing the

Last Naval Battle of the Revolutionary War

Greeting from the Sons, Daughter and Children of the American Revolution. We invited you to participated in this year’s ceremony to commemorate the 236th Anniversary of the last Naval battle of the Revolutionary War.

On March 10, 1783 two Continental Navy ships the Duc De Lauzun and the Alliance were in route from Havana Cuba to Philadelphia with 72,000 Spanish coins along the east coast of Florida when three British warships the Sybil, the Alarm and the Tobago spotted the Continental ships.  With the Duc De Lauzun being loaded with the precious cargo, Captain John Green could not out run the British. The Sybil caught up to the Duc De Lauzun and exchanged gunfire. Meanwhile Captain John Barry maneuvered the Alliance between the Duc De Lauzun and British warship Sybil. Once the Alliance was alongside the Sybil and just yards away, he ordered his crew to fire upon the Sybil. Being outgunned, the Sybil changed course and followed the other British ships Alarm and Tobago.

May 13th-18th 2020

In the summer of 1775, the American Colonies are in revolt and the British have responded to the growing crisis in the colonies with a blockade of American ports. The blockade hurt Bermuda as the islands already had a shortage of food, putting the islanders at risk of starvation. Bermudians were divided and while most of the island’s population remained loyal the English Crown, there were many who sympathized with the Continental Congress and its fight for independence.

Galvez Day

Commemorating the longest siege of the American Revolution, the 1781 Battle of Pensacola

The Siege and Victory at Pensacola is recognized as a major battle in support of the United States' struggle for independence from Great Britain. While no American units were involved, the victory completed a series of victories by Spanish units under the command of General Bernardo de Galvez which eliminated British military control of the lower Mississippi Rivers and Gulf Coast. That loss of control was a significant factor in Great Britain ceding the land between the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains to the United States and the colonies of East and West Florida to Spain as part of the 1783 Peace Treaty.

On behalf of the Delaware Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, your hosts for the 2019 Atlantic Middle States Association Conference, I cordially welcome you to Delaware. We are delighted and honored to have the President General and most of the national officers with us. The Delaware Society hopes it has taken advantage of every opportunity to enable you to enjoy the conference and "The First State." While you are with us in Delaware, we invite you to take a moment to explore Delaware's rich history, pristine beaches, and of course our tax-free shopping.

As you will see from the agenda included in your registration package, the Delaware Society, in conjunction with Vice Presidents General Sutton and Goebel, has planned an exciting and informative program.

The Hilton Christiana/Wilmington is conveniently located to a number of other attractions in Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania, including the Brandywine River Museum (Wyeth family and American artwork), Longwood Gardens (Pierre S. DuPont's home and gardens), The Hagley Museum (E.I. DuPont's gunpowder works), Nemours Mansion & Gardens (A.I. DuPont's home), Winterthur Museum, the Delaware Art Museum and Fort Delaware (a Civil War era fort constructed in the middle of the Delaware River).

In addition to the Brandywine Battlefield, for those interested, Elkton, Cooch's Bridge, Paoli, Philadelphia, Germantown, Valley Forge, and many other sites connected to the British Philadelphia Campaign of 1777-1778, are within easy reach. The colonial city of New Castle, first capital of Delaware and "The Williamsburg of the North" is only twenty minutes away. The nearby city of Wilmington - founded as a Swedish colony in 1638 - contains sites commemorating the first Swedish settlement (Fort Christina State Park on E. 7th Street, including a replica of the ship Kalmar Nyckel) and French assistance during the American Revolution (the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route and the Wilmington Opera House).

We truly hope that you enjoy your time in Delaware and experience everything this Small Wonder has to offer.

Patriotically,

Harry B. Roberts, III

Chairman, 2019 AMS Conference Committee

Mary Silliman wrote in 1776 that she had “acted the heroine as well as my dear Husband [General Gold Selleck Silliman, Connecticut militia] the hero.” Not all women (or men) acted heroically in the war, but they did act, not just react, and their agency informs this conference. How did women fight the Revolution – fight for it, fight against it, and fight in it? This conference intends to examine women warriors, followers, and activists from many perspectives – American and British, Patriot and Loyalist, free and enslaved. This conference will examine the words, actions, and influence of women in the War for American Independence.

Women Waging War in the American Revolution will be chaired by Holly A. Mayer, Associate Professor of History at Duquesne University and the 2019 SAR Distinguished Scholar
