forgiveness. Ray Aleman has been the best friend a guy could ask for. We had many great times playing sports together and I hope we will get together and relive some of them in the near future. Jack Massucci is another lifelong pal and confidant who was part of our community band of brothers. As youngsters, he and I were inseparable and I am blessed to still count him among my good friends. Nonetheless, I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend, Ron Moreland. Ron, who was one of…

The American colonies were becoming more separated from Britain every day. By 1763, their relationship was weak and the next thirteen years would do nothing but make it worse. Colonists were not initially resistant to British rule, but after years of being stripped of their freedoms they shifted toward the idea of separating from Britain and creating their own government that would incorporate Republican values. After the Seven Years’ War, British troops remained in America. The cost of…

The patriots have been making trouble for the Loyalist. They only want to preserve their lands when the colonies stand up to Britain. They will only brew more trouble for the Loyalist.

My grandmother, Bathsheba, used to come visit my home in Plymouth, when I lived with my mother. She would tell me about a woman named Joan of Arc, a woman that led the french to victory over the british. My grandmother also made me aware of how that woman died, by being burned at the stake for not listening to the rules of the church. Many times when…

However, my fellow Americans were massacred in Boston over this so called pittance of tea (Keene, Cornell, and O 'Donnell 102)! My dear cousin, would you be referring to the Boston Tea Party? We were very justified in the events that unfolded the night of Boston Tea Party. As stated earlier the Crown monopolized tea for the sole purpose of helping a failing company and members of Parliament. Cousin, we…
