There’s a great book which I read called Revolutionary Dissent by Steven Solomon.

I think this incident is in it.

Well worth the read.

Recessional of the Sons of the American Revolution:

“Until we meet again, let us remember our obligations to our
forefathers who gave us our Constitution, the Bill of Rights,
an independent Supreme Court and a nation of free men.”

Dr. Benjamin Franklin, when asked if we had a republic or a monarchy, replied "A Republic, if you can keep it."
Were we ever as close to losing it as we are now?

Never heard of the “Liberty Tree”. Is it/was it in Boston...or near Boston? I suppose that it's unlikely that it's still standing.

History repeats itself because people don’t (or won’t) learn it’s lessons.

Once again, we have taxation without representation.

I’m struggling to find the racism and homophobia in this story. Perhaps there is some oppression of children of color? Hmmm, just a bunch of old white men. Move along....

I’m in the process of reading “The Minutemen and Their World” by Robert A. Gross. Found it on a paperback swap site I belong to. It focuses on the town of Concord, and it’s people, and is very well sourced.
