"Yeah, because by that time the British Parliament had declared Massachusetts as a state of rebellion and it ratified the king's fury to rid of these rebels."
"Exactly.On April 18,1775 about 800 British troops left Boston to capture Samuel Adams and John Hancock had seized ammunition of the Patriots at Concord.They faced rebellion from "Minutemen "
"Minutemen?"
"A motley battalion of armed farmers as they were called and it led to crashes where the British in gunfire killed eight colonists and two more in Concord.Then the redboat retreated into Boston in a stampede riddled by sniper fire and retreated behind hedges,fences and walls."
"That was a bloody move I could recall.,"
"A staggering blood trail of 273 British casualties as opposed to 95 wounded and dead for the Patriots ."
",The news moved fast like lightning "
"Yeah at the speed of light.It reached New York in four days and there was reprisal a mood of insurrection blanketed the city .As Tories quivered people poured on the streets, taverns and private closets to discuss the events of the day."
"Have you read about s prominent judge Thomas Jones who watched the rebels storm the streets, beating drums and dancing,colours flying,there were mobs of negroes, pickpockets,boys, sailors,invited all asundry to fight for the injured right of those denied of liberties in America."
"Yeah then the sons of liberty streamed down to the East River docks ,stoles goods meant for the British in Boston then emptied every munitions in the City hall arsenal "
"Muskets,bayonets, Cartridges and cartridge boxes,......"
"Exactly over a thousand plus.Infsct volunteer militia firms all over the colonies sprang up overnight armed with the caches.Hamilton was part of this enthusiastic mobsters against the ridiculous contempt from the British underated the capacity of the rag tag soldiers who were kindled by positive news from Massachusetts to bring the nefarious verdict against the king's country. Hamilton picked up his musket too fast as his pen and he joined one of the militia firms after the battle of Lexington under command of Edward Flemming to defend the Patriots.Zealously according to Nicolas Fish,he attended regular parades and performance tours.Fish and Troup attended the parade with the hardworking cadre of kings college volunteers as they drilled in the churchyard at St Paul 's chapel under Flemming.Flemming a robust disciplinarian was married into popular De peyster family served in the British regiment .He was said to be a man after Hamilton's heart .They called the group "Corsicans"in the military rolls,though Hamilton's son noted the matured group was named the "Hearts Of Oaks".So many youths recruited and marched across tombstones,with the moto "Liberty or Death".It was stitched across their round leather caps...On short,snug green jackets spotted with red tin hearts that declared "God and Our Right."Femi gesticulated
"It was said Hamilton was a perfectionist true or false?"
"Yeah. The daily routines enabled perfectionism same ardor he had exhibited in his scholarship.Robert Troup confirmed his true military spirit and the regularity in the training schedules.He exploited the opportunity for advanced military career and a comprehensive military education gained mastery of infantry drills unequaled military tactics and tutored in pyrotechnics and gunnery especially their rudiments from veteran bombardier.Hugh Knox too observed his unique spirit and the sense of doggedness with which he approached the frightening tasks.
When a huge throng of masses marched in from of city hall do you know what happened?"
"Retaliation of Boston tea party?"
"In a way or spillover.April 24 radicals grew in aggression about eight thousand strong revolts so that the terrified merchants were forced to book a passage to england.The following day a tract had called for burning of Tories in effigy could not exonerate Myles ad four other obnoxious Tories or gentlemen blamed them for patriotic death in Massachusetts.About five loyalists were warned to flee the country or "by becoming your own executioners."Despite the signatures "Three millions" Cooper was still stuck to college post.The mobs went after him to murder him alive at worst ride him on a rail..."
"How did he escape obnoxious man?"
