The Battle Of Lexington and Concord.

Tarred & Feathered. Not because of the price of tea! I stand corrected.



Please read Jenny's comments below, she is far more knowledgable than I am regarding the revolution period. Thank you Jenny.

April Morning.

I have searched for this video clip many times without finding it. My thanks to Flintlock and Tomahawk for posting this on his blog. Not a good image, but better than nothing. This is supposedly the first shot fired in the revolution at Lexington. But who fired that shot? It remains a mystery to this day.

Revolution.

I think this gives a very interesting look into mob behavour & freedom for the common man. This man loses his boat & his livelyhood, he has no choice in the matter. Later because his son is dissobedient & has rocks in his head he is forced to join the army. An old one, but an interesting movie.
