“On April 18, 1689, eighty-six years and a day before the ‘shot heard ‘round the world’ at Lexington and Concord, the people of Boston and surrounding towns rose up and overthrew the royal governor in a rebellion against taxation and arbitrary power. It no mere local uprising. It was the first major step toward what would later become the American Revolution. While most Americans today know that ‘no taxation without representation’ was a battle cry of the American Revolution, few realize this principle and active resistance against it began almost a century earlier.” (04/15/25)
