The most important aspect of this battle is overlooked by the revisionists; no matter what happened with taxes and tariffs, the actual fighting began when the British were sent to take the ARMS from the colonists.
Without arms, they were subjects; they held onto them, and became citizens.
On the mark. That is exactly why there is a second amendment and why the imperial government is so bent on removing it or gelding it as best as they can. mASS. is one of the worse states in this regard.
I loved Palin’s comment when the press began hounding her for her mis statement about the location of Lexington and Concord (she had said in your state while speaking in New Hampshire). She said, well at least you believe what they did believe at that time! mASS, I’d gladly give in and its former area Maine back to the King.
