If you are looking for an entertaining and educational experience for your company or group, hire the author/researcher of AmRevNC! Jim Morgan, M.A., has extensive presenter credits over three decades from his business career. He now applies his engaging and humorous style as a speaker on the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution in North Carolina. From campaigns to personalities to life on the home front, he relays factual talks in a storytelling style injected with humor, illustrated by photos and maps from the website.
Talks are typically an hour plus Q&A time (with the group and/or with individuals after the event). Topics include:
- “North Carolina in the Revolutionary War: What Happened Here?”: A survey of the war’s events across N.C., emphasizing your location, which turns attendees into instant experts. (Short answer to the question: A lot more than you think!)
- “Within an Hour’s Drive,” a deep dive into events around the venue.
- “Other Revolutionaries: Life on the Homefront During the American Revolution,” focusing on the life of noncombatants during the war.
- For shorter events, a talk that focuses on facts surprising even to lifelong N.C. history buffs.
Also available are:
- Guided tours of most locations on AmRevNC.
- Leadership lessons for business drawn from wartime events, based on Jim’s 30-year career researching and applying management science.
Jim can speak in person within 120 miles of Durham, Charlotte, or Winston-Salem. More distant sites may require overnight accommodations and a meal, or equivalent expenses. A donation toward the costs of running the website is expected from small nonprofit groups, plus gas costs. Talks for larger organizations and companies are available at fees adjusted for organization/audience size and degree of customization.

“I was referred to Jim Morgan as a speaker on the American Revolution by a mutual friend. Jim’s talk was better than what we agreed on! He speaks with the authority of knowing the information inside and out. He talk showed his research into and his enjoyment of the history he was talking about. He included history that was easy to hear and history that was not so easy to hear, all with the integrity to include all the context. I’ve invited him back.”—Cindy Schmidt, Chatham County Historical Association
