Conservative Warrior

I was reading up on the cause of the american revolution and low and behold to my surprise.

The famous Paul Revere ride and the battles of concord and lexington were over an order given by General Thomas Gage, military governor of Massachusetts, to confiscate weapons and destroy the ammunition of the americans at Concord.

When the Boston Committee of Safety learned of this plan, it sent Paul Revere and William Dawes to alert the countryside and gather the Minute Men.

“The British are Coming!”

And when they came to confiscate bullets, they got them, one at a time.

Hope that puts it the Revolution in context. Other issues may have been paraded, but it wasn’t until they came for our guns that we fought.
