Great Seal American Revolution Dorchester Heights, Boston Harbor
The Fortification of Dorchester Heights was a decisive action early in the American Revolutionary War that precipitated the end of the siege of Boston and the withdrawal of British troops from that city.
On March 4, 1776, troops from the Continental Army under George Washington's command occupied Dorchester Heights, a series of low hills with a commanding view of Boston and its harbor, and mounted powerful cannons there.
General William Howe, commander of the British forces occupying the city, considered contesting this act, as the cannon threatened the town and the military ships in the harbor. After a snowstorm prevented execution of his plans, however, Howe chose to withdraw from the city. The British forces, accompanied by Loyalists who had fled to the city during the siege, left the city on March 17 and sailed to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The Great Seal of the United States of America is indeed a Judge and a symbol of Justice.
Our Justice/Providential Eagle used on the Great is understood to be any representation of any Eagle used by any department for official purposes to be one and the same. e.g. the Eagle on the Great Seal of the Department of Justice
Great Seal Films represent a guiding light through which history and the American way of life in whole or in part can be examined. Not all Great Seal Clips are Greal Seal films but everything showed in this government forum always leads to a greater lesson.

Along the Freedom Trail, Boston National Historical Park - Boston, Massachusetts
American independence was declared in Philadelphia in 1776. But the movement was born in the actions and oratory of the patriots of Boston. Boston was home to James Otis, John and Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Paul Revere, Ben Franklin and others who promoted the cause. It is where the first victims of the struggle for independence were laid to rest. Paul Revere's famous ride began here, and the battle of Bunker Hill (Breed's Hill, actually) was fought here.
Boston National Historical Park preserves many of the buildings and places associated with the fight for American independence in Boston. The park's Freedom Trail is a walking route (marked with red bricks) brom Boston Common to Bunker Hill that leads visitors to a number of sights associated with Boston's role in that fight as well as other sights associated with the early days of Boston both before and after independence was won.
The Photos (in order)
B04A0041 - A marker at the Granary Burying Ground identifies the grave of Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, Crispus Attucks and Patrick Carr, victims of the Boston Massacre; also buried here is Christopher Snider (Seider in some records), a boy who was killed by a British soldier 11 days earlier; Snider is regarded as the first to be killed in what would become the American Revolution; Samuel Adams, John Hancock, James Otis and Paul Revere are among other patriots buried here
B04A0057 - King's Chapel is a pre-Revolution Anglican Church built on the edge of the oldest burying ground in Boston, where many early Puritans were buried; among those buried here are Mary Chilton, the first Pilgrim to touch Plymouth Rock, and William Dawes, who like Paul Revere rode to Lexington to warn that the British were coming (Longfellow's poem, Paul Revere's Ride, unfortunately for Dawes put all the attention on Paul Revere)
B04A0074 - The Old South Meeting House was a Puritan church and the largest building in Boston at the time; as such, it became a popular meeting place for audiences to hear passionate arguments for American rights and soon American independence
B04A0078 - The Old State House served as both the home of the British government of Massachusetts as well as the elected Massachusetts Assembly, leading to increasing confrontations between the colonists and their British rulers; a circle of paving stones located in the traffic island below the balcony marks the site of the Boston Massacre
B04A0088 - Faneuil Hall was proposed as a market building, but a meeting space on the second floor was added to the proposal to win over support; speeches by James Otis, Samuel Adams and others held here, as with the Old South Meeting House, promoted American rights, resulting in the hall to be nicknamed the Cradle of Liberty; it was here that the doctrine of no taxation without representation was adopted, and where so-called Tea Meetings led up to the Boston Tea Party (which prompted the British to close Faneuil Hall); today the hall continues to play a role in Boston politics
B04A0100 - Paul Revere's house, in Boston's North End, is the oldest surviving house in Boston, dating back to the 1600s
B04A0113 - Old North Church is where lanterns would be hung - one if by land, two if by sea - warning patriots in Charleston of British troop movements before Paul Revere began his famous ride to Lexington and Concord
B04A0126 - The Battle of Bunker Hill, mostly fought on Breed's Hill in 1775, was an early battle in the American Revolution; although British forces successfully took the American position on the hill, they did so with far greater casualties; technically a British victory, it helped to show the Americans that the British could be beaten
The Siege of Boston 1775
Britain, the greatest empire the world had seen since ancient Rome, found itself bottled up in the small provincial town of Boston, and then, after months of misery, was forcibly evicted from that place by a ragged mob of rebels.

Fort Independence (Massachusetts)
Fort Independence ,
A re-built Castle William, also known at that time as Fort Adams, shortly after the American Revolution
Fortification was placed on the site in 1634 and replaced in 1701 with a more substantial structure known as Castle William.
The Coming of the Revolution in Massachusetts
The people of Massachusetts had more power over their own government than anyone else in the British empire. These independent minded colonists increased in their feelings of bitterness and resentment as the crown raised taxes on American goods and sent soldiers to enforce the new policies. These building tensions eventually led to outward expressions of resistance. The Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party made the American Revolution inevitable.

The Battle of Bunker Hill
A history of the militia fought battle at Bunker Hill, Part of the British siege of Boston during the American Revolutionary War
The Boston Freedom Trail - We Brits Are Back In Boston USA
Part 3 of our American Northeast trip and we explore Boston’s Freedom Trail we Brits are back in the USA and we brought the rain.
???? Watch more of our USA road trips
???? You can read more about our visits at
Armed only with umbrellas we head out to explore the historic route through Boston past 16 significant sites which all closely related to the American Revolution.
For some reason, this part of history is not so widely taught in British schools!
Starting on Boston Common we follow the route past the Massachusetts State House and the Granary Burying Ground. It also takes in Faneuil Hall and the Paul Revere House.
Because of the rain and as we were slightly jet lagged we didn’t quite make it across the Charles River to the USS Constitution & Bunker Hill Monument
These are the highlights of our wet but still very interesting historic self-guided tour.

The Struggle for American Independence - The Siege of Boston
In this episode, we cover two major military events that altered the course of the conflict in 1775 and 1776. First, I cover the capture of Fort Ticonderoga by a joint force of Vermont militia, the Green Mountain Boys, and a Massachusetts militia force commanded by the infamous Benedict Arnold. What the Americans lacked in resources and training, they made up in fortune. The artillery at Ticonderoga proved instrumental to pushing the British out of Boston, when a young prodigy named Henry Knox persistently worked over the winter to haul the guns to Boston.
