Participants will discuss what counts as civility and civil rights as we engage our

An Early Fight for Rights: Communication in the Practice and Portrayal of
the American Revolution
Location: Cape Fear
Greensboro was the site of one of the most important battles in the fight to secure inalienable
rights for the people of this nation. Without the accomplishments of General Nathaniel
Greene and his contemporaries, we might never have had a nation in which we could
pursue those rights that we continue to strive for today. This panel analyzes
communication of leaders during the revolution and examines the modern portrayal of
that communication.
Chair: Cathey Ross, Central Piedmont Community College
"Communication in an Uncivil Environment: Battlefield Motivation in the American
Revolution," Jeff Cloninger, Appalachian State University
"Beyond the Patriot: Contemporary Rhetorical Depiction of the American Revolution,"
Jean DeHart and Jane Morgan, Appalachian State University
"Bringing History to Life: Communication Strategies of American Revolution
Reenactors," James I. "Rusty" Robinson III, American Revolution Reenactor ,
Rock Hill, SC
Suggestion: On Saturday, after the close of the convention, drive 5 miles north on Battleground
Ave. (Rte. 220) and visit the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park. This is the national
park site were the battle was fought in Greensboro. It is an extremely interesting park with a new
film and exhibition area, in addition to several miles of walking trails. The Nathaniel Greene
statue is one of the most impressive monuments in Greensboro.
