Lexington

"The Red Coats are Coming!"

"The British are coming!"

Never happened.

For one, every colonist in the America's was British. No one ever denied it.

Did the Colonists set out a conflict, no. Did the British? No.

The sole purpose of the expedition of leaving Boston in the cover of dark was for the British to secure powder and military weapons from the colonists.

Here we are visiting the Lexington and Concord area of Massachusetts catching up a bit on our Revolutionary War Period of American history.

After spending over three years studying the American Civil War, visiting battle fields and museums all along the East Coast, it is refreshing to find ones self in a new time of our country. As always, forget everything you ever learned in school about American History. More on that to follow. We have a busy weekend lined up with lots to do and have found ourselves having to stay in hotels. But right not, off to Fenway for Red Sox Opening Weekend.
