    This account of an British officer during Lexington and Concord is a very interesting one. Based off of the language of both documents ( The Boston account and this one) this one sounds more hostile to the Patriot cause. This account sounds more hostile than the Boston one because this one describes the Patriots as an unstoppable force that will kill anything that is against them. Saying that "their numbers increasing from all parts while ours was reducing by deaths, wounds, and fatigue." . Another reason he would be more hostile toward the patriots because he was their at the battle ground, being shot at by the patriots.…

    Question 2: What accounts for the growth and power of the lower house of the assembly as one of the most powerful institutions in America? Governors, though displeased, were dependent on the colonial assembly due to the control of their salaries, weakening “thier positions” (pg. 71). The governors were touchy with the colonists and avoided angering them to make sure their paycheck was still in their pockets every payday. Since the colonist had so much control, “colonial assemblies came to act like and think of themselves as mini-parliaments, with full legislative power over local matters” (pg. 71).…

    If one were to hear the name “Paul Revere”, the first thing that comes to mind would most likely be his famous Midnight Ride. Those who have had a third grade history lesson would jump to images of Revere riding through Lexington on horseback, shouting warnings about the imminent arrival of the British troops. However, there is more to this historical figure than what is commonly perceived. A member of the Sons of Liberty, Paul Revere delivered countless messages that kept the revolution alive. He created propaganda for the war, such as his much praised Boston Massacre engraving.…

    n this undated letter, written at the request of Jeremy Belknap, corresponding secretary of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Paul Revere summarizes his activities on 18-19 April 1775: he recounts how Dr. Joseph Warren urged him to ride to Lexington (to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of British troop movements); how he had previously arranged with some fellow Patriots to signal the direction of those movements by placing signal lanterns in the steeple of Old North Church; and how he left Boston from the "North part of the Town," was rowed across the Charles River by two friends, and there borrowed a horse and began his ride. The manuscript letter includes some interlineations, apparently in the hand of Jeremy Belknap. In printing the account in Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, 1st series, vol. 5 (1798), Belknap assigned to it the date of 1 January 1798. At the end of the document, Revere signed his name but then, apparently choosing to remain anonymous, wrote…

    While growing up, children learn various lessons from their elders that will eventually pay off at some point in their life. For instance, a teacher may request that a student wait their turn to speak, and therefore helps that child learn the virtue of patience. In both of the poems provided, a child or children are taught something, but, within the poems themselves, not both things being taught are beneficial. In "A Barred Owl" by Richard Wilbur, a little girl is shown by her parents that she does not need to be afraid of sudden noises she hears in the night.…

    Although Wordsworth and Dunbar appear to call on their deceased elders, Milton and Douglass respectively, to solve their different woes with society, they instead seek refuge in a plea for living person to solve their modern problems using old wisdom. The speakers in both poems differ in regards to the reason behind their motivation to call their late role models. In the poem “London, 1802,” William Wordsworth agonizes over the idea that morals and creativity in England have deteriorated. Wordsworth, in the opening lines of his sonnet, uses the metaphor by comparing England to a “fen” to convey that the country remains in a marshy ditch, unable to move forward and progress.…

    The last two verses of the poem say, “Let the far and the near,-all unite with a cheer / In defense of our Liberty Tree.” This conveys that even at this point, the colonists were ready to gather up with others to go against the higher powers. In defense of their liberty, the colonists knew that they had to unite to be able to raise their tree back from the ground because it would be the only way for them to succeed in their battle to gain freedom. Undoubtedly, the English were becoming free from England by already making a standpoint of defiance in order to gain true liberty in the colonies.…

    Paul Revere was an important member of the Sons of Liberty, a pin smith and an engraver. One of his most famous pieces of art was a depiction of the Boston Massacre in 1770. Although this is a firsthand account, it cannot be considered a reliable source. As an avid patron of the freedom of the colonists, his drawings are extremely biased in favor of the colonies. He leaves out the historical evidence of the Boston Massacre where the colonists are also at fault.…
