Notas do Editor
- March 5, 1770 3 colonists lay dead and 2 others mortally wounded; 6 others would later recover from their wounds. The Boston Massacre was, of course, not a “massacre.” Samuel Adams and other propagandists immediately capitalized on this incident, using it to fan colonial passions. Paul Revere assisted the effort by issuing one of his most famous engravings, possibly plagiarized, depicting the American version of the event. In response to these tensions, Lieutenant Governor Thomas Hutchinson ordered that the British soldiers be withdrawn to Castle Island, giving the colonists a much-celebrated victory and indicating the rudderless nature of British policy. A combined funeral for the slain was held a few days later and the procession was said to have been joined by 10,000 people.
- March 5, 1770
- The British reasoned that the Americans would willingly pay the tax if they were able to pay a low price for the tea.
- Coercive Acts were so harsh that they were called the Intolerable Acts throughout the colonies.
- Georgia decided against roiling the waters; they were facing attacks from the restive Creek on their borders and desperately needed the support of regular British soldiers. Some of the most prominent figures of the era were among the 55 delegates in attendance, including George Washington , Samuel Adams , John Adams , Patrick Henry , Richard Henry Lee , John Jay and John Dickinson .
- Called Coercive Acts “the attempts of a wicked administration to enslave Americans”
- Minutemen were a small hand-picked elite force which were required to be highly mobile and able to assemble quickly. Minutemen were selected from militia muster rolls by their commanding officers. Typically 25 years of age or younger, they were chosen for their enthusiasm, reliability, and physical strength. Usually about one quarter of the militia served as Minutemen, performing additional duties as such. The Minutemen were the first armed militia to arrive or await a battle.
