Also on this day 250 years ago in Boston. James Lovell wrote to his good friend Josiah Quincy, Jr. who was then onboard a ship sailing to England on a secret mission to gauge and gather British support for the Patriots in Massachusetts. Lovell wrote that it “is become a downright task for the warmest patriots of our Town and County to confine the spirit of the other Counties.” Lovell’s letter illustrates that the radical resistance to British rule in Massachusetts was not directed by the Patriot leadership (including Samuel Adams, John Adams, John Hancock and Joseph Warren) based in Boston, but instead arose from the rural counties of Massachusetts.
On This Day In The Revolution 
One response to “On this day 250 years ago in the Revolution — October 28, 1774”
Sounds like the political leaders had trouble controlling the radicals even back then. Extremists, whether far right or far left, are always willing to sacrifice what the founding fathers fought to preserve, the right to peacefully resolve our differences among both the majority and the minorities.
