Tonight, we continue with Part 2 of this week’s 3-part series, examining the events which led to the American revolution.  It was not sudden.  Nor brash.  The infringing of personal freedoms upon the American colonists was notched up over and over, spanning a decade.  The Americans weren’t running to war.  Quite the opposite, they did not want it and sought diligently to prevent such bloodshed.  In Boston, emotions started boiling over when the residents saw 4,000 British troops arrive and have a domineering presence throughout the city.  The British sought to have a heavy presence so that their officials could enforce the Townshend Acts among other laws.  But this did not sit well with the people of Boston.  And one night they came face to face.  But the Boston Massacre would not be the only time the people of Boston took drastic steps to oppose British occupation and oppression.  Also, we dive into a detailed look of one of America’s founders, Benjamin Franklin.  Play this one for the family.  This is our history.
