SETTING A PURPOSE

Read to find out how Johnny and other characters play important roles in historical events.

BACKGROUND

Time and Place

Bostonians responded with outrage to the closing of their port and the arrival of British soldiers and warships. The Committees of Correspondence that Sam Adams began in the early 1770’s evolved to play an even more active role. In September 1774, all the colonies except Georgia sent representatives to the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia. The Congress decided on a boycott of British goods and promised to stand together in defense of Boston. One result of this promise was the forming, arming, and training of colonial militias. The Congress also prepared a summary of its complaints for King George. The king, however, was not interested in reviewing these complaints and sent more soldiers and ships to Boston.

Did You Know?

Colonial militiamen had no uniforms and had to supply their own guns and ammunition, as well as food and other accessories. Many had learned to shoot while hunting for food or fighting Native Americans in the countryside. They were hardly prepared for the organized and almost polite method of warfare practiced by the British army, in which soldiers lined up on opposite sides of the battlefield and advanced toward the enemy, shooting. Though the militiamen’s rifles were accurate, they held only one shot and often lacked the bayonets (knives) attached to British guns. This meant that while the militiamen were reloading, they were defenseless. On the other hand, the British soldiers’ bright-red uniforms made them easy targets.
