Boston

Boston was beginning of the Revolution and where the Battle of Bunker hill was fought.  We went to Boston by Transits, which is pretty much a Metro train, and it was interesting. Every thing looked normal even though a bomb went off at the race. Any way, we walked the freedom trail, which brought you to buildings and important place of the Revolution. Zoe was furious when she saw the bookstore. The Old Bookstore had been replaced with Chipotle. We also saw the U.S.S. Construction and she was floating. She was also called Iron sides because of the secret. They used a special wood, which, on impact from a cannon ball, would deflect it. She fought several ships and won. She even fought two ships at once and won. I think the most important part of the Freedom trail was Bunker Hill. During the sedge and capture of Boston, Redcoats proceeded to bunker and surprised to see colonists occupying Bunker hill and that here were l earth works which solders could hide behind. When the Red coats got ashore, they were shot at from sharpshooter in a town. So, do you know what they did? They asked the captain of the fleet to set fire to the village. The captain of the fleet was really hard to work with because every time they came to a city or village he wanted to burn it. Happily, the captain of the fleet burned the village. The sharpshooters were driven out from the Village. Then Redcoats struck. The Redcoats marched towards the colonists. The colonists had a limited amount of ammunition so the commander of the colonists said, “Don’t shoot until you see the white of their eyes.” After the first assault, the British fell back in retreat. On the second assault, William Prescott, trying to raise his troops spirits, walked up and down the colonial earth works with a sword in his hand screaming insults back at the British as bullets and cannon balls flew by him. A British commander, who had seen William Prescott, asked a British loyalist if he knew him. The loyalist said, “Yep, that William Prescott.” The second assault was a failure, or was it? The colonists were running out of ammunition and the person who was suppose to give it to them was to afraid to do so. The British sent in a third assault. The colonists soon ran out of ammunition. Desperately, they started to throw rocks and the solders but the Redcoat broke though the lines and the colonists fell back and retreated. In the retreat, William Prescott was killed. Even though the British won the fight, we won the battle because we killed tons of Redcoats. Boston, the place where the Revolution started and the battle of Bunker Hill was fought.
