Patriot’s Day
Posted by The Red Pill on April 19, 2008
On this day 233 years ago, militiamen from the yet-to-be-formed United States took up arms against King George of England.
Jules Crittenden has collected a wonderful assortment of source material, in the form of letters, that tells the story of that day’s historic, yet forgotten, events. Here is one of my favorites:
Capt. John Parker, Lexington Militia, alleged remarks at Lexington:
Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.
There are many, many more that are well worth the time to read them.
