New Jersey played a critical yet underrepresented role in the Revolutionary War. Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute and a member of the board of directors for Crossroads of the American Revolution explains just how significant the state was in the general founding of the country, as well as the development of democracy. He explains the New Year’s goal to put New Jersey on the map for it.
“We can actually market New Jersey on the same par as Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, as a place that you come to if you really want to understand how the American Revolution played out, and how it played out and affected people just like you and me,” Patrick Murray said.
