I just acquired more news. It is another battle that colonists are going crazy about, The Battle of Bunker Hill. The redcoats came up the hill two rounds getting defeated, however on the third round the colonists ran out of ammo and we win. Many British soldiers died during this battle and only a few colonists, so they think it was a victory and a big accomplishment for them.
Before their self-esteem rose from the Battle of Bunker Hill, a group called the Green Mountain Boys went to Ft. Ticonderoga to steal their weapons. They surprised the leader of the fort and he had to surrender all weapons, even the heavy cannons. I could not consider what was happening, the colonists were ending the agreement with the British and trying to begin a world of independence.
