Medford, Somerville local history: Remnants of the Revolutionary War preserved near Tufts
“[In] the early hours of Sept. 1, 1774, 250-odd British troops got in boats, went into the Mystic River silently in the early hours of the morning and then marched towards the powder house,” he said. Despite General Gage’s attempts to maintain control, the British seizure of gunpowder did just the opposite — it led to massive unrest.
Two thousand rallied in Powder house Park to protest her arrest? The place commemorating one of the first steps over the line by General Gage and his British troops in Boston. Seven months later, he tried it again, sending a contingent of British regulars to another day of infamy in Lexington and Concord. And then, a few months after that as colonials surrounded Boston and Gage’s troops, he sent an even larger force up the slopes of a hill we call Bunker.
2000 protested in Powder House Park today, protesting the actions of a president who is acting the King.
Does he even know the sentiments and history he is stirring up……… in THAT place?
