The Delaware Public Archives will present a complimentary educational session this Saturday, April 11, 2026, beginning at 10:30 a.m. The program, titled “A System concise, easy and efficient”: John Dickinson and the Defense of Delaware, 1782, is part of the monthly First Saturday series.
The presentation will examine Dickinson’s leadership during a challenging period in Delaware’s early history. In the final months of 1781, Dickinson took on Delaware’s presidency during a particularly dangerous time when the state faced serious military challenges from British Royal Navy blockades and threats from Loyalist forces.
