Well that just seals it. Palinite Freepers have decided that 4/18/1775 was nothing but a gun grab, and the men came out to fight were secondary.

What's the next FReeper historical headline? General Beauregards ingrown toenail starts attack on Ft. Sumpter?

When caught in a hole rule number one is stop digging. You, however, evidently plan an escape via China.

Just stop. There is a forest out there, even though all those damn trees are blocking your view of it.

“The battles marked the outbreak of open armed conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in the mainland of British North America.

About 700 British Army regulars, under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, were given secret orders to capture and destroy military supplies that were reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia at Concord. Through effective intelligence gathering, Patriot colonials had received word weeks before the expedition that their supplies might be at risk”

Hmmmmm,,,to me, it sounds like the
*primary reason* for the entire event was indeed, a gun grab.

The Red Coats were not going to Concord to throw the Colonists a clam bake. They were going there to seize their munitions.

PDS has rotted you're brain.
