| | | | | Province of Massachusetts Bay: Encyclopedia II - Battles of Lexington and Concord - Background The British Army (often called "redcoats" by the colonists) had occupied Boston since 1768 and had been augmented by naval forces and marines to enforce the Intolerable Acts. Governor General Thomas Gage still had no control over Massachusetts outside of Boston where the Massachusetts Government Act had increased tensions between the American Patriot (Whig) majority and the Loyalist (Tory) minority. Gage's plan was to avoid conflict by removing military supplies from the Whig militias using small, secret, and rapid strikes. This struggle for ...

| | | | | Province of Massachusetts Bay: Encyclopedia II - Battles of Lexington and Concord - Aftermath In the morning, Thomas Gage woke up to find Boston besieged by a huge militia army which had marched from throughout New England. This time, unlike during the Powder Alarm, the rumors of spilled blood were true, and the Revolutionary War had begun. The Army of irregulars continued to grow as surrounding colonies sent men and supplies. The Continental Congress would adopt and sponsor these men into the beginnings of the Continental Army. Even now after open warfare had started, Gage still refused to impose martial law in Boston. He persuaded the town's selectmen to surrender all private weapons ...

| | | | | Province of Massachusetts Bay: Encyclopedia II - Battles of Lexington and Concord - Later historic images It was important to the early American government that an image of British fault and American innocence be maintained for this first battle of the war. The history of Patriot preparations, intelligence, warning signals, and uncertainty about the first shot was rarely discussed in the public sphere for decades. Depositions mentioning these activities were not published and were returned to the particip ...

After 1930 there were four executions; the last was in 1954. Capital punishment was effectively abolished in practice in 1964, with the statutes being completely removed in 1987. Current state law, however, allows children as young as ten years to be tried as adults, the lowest age limit currently specified by any of the 50 states.

| | | | | Province of Massachusetts Bay: Encyclopedia II - Vermont - Economy Over the past two centuries, Vermont has seen both population explosions and population busts. First settled by farmers, loggers and hunters, Vermont lost much of its population as farmers moved West into the Great Plains in search of abundant, easily tilled land. Logging similarly fell off as over-cutting and the exploitation of other forests made Vermont's forest less attractive. Although these population shifts devastated Vermont's economy, the early loss of population had the beneficial effect of allowing Vermont's land and forest to rec ...

Vermont - Politics.
Vermonters are known for their political independence and liberal views. The Vermont government maintains a proactive stance with regards to the environment, social services and prevention of urbanization. For example, facing severe pressures from out-of-state real estate developers, the state passed the Land Use and Development Law (Act 250) in 1970. The law, which was the first of its kind in the nation, created nine District Environmental Commissions consisting of private citizens who have ...

| | | | | Province of Massachusetts Bay: Encyclopedia II - Massachusetts Bay Colony - Predecessor companies The 1623 Sheffield Patent allocated Cape Ann to Robert Cushman, Edward Winslow, and their associates. During the winter of 1623-24, John White and the Dorchester Company settled on this land at Stage Point (present-day Gloucester, Massachusetts). In 1625, they invited Roger Conant to run the fishing colony.[1] They were joined by some members of the Plymouth Colony. [2] By 1626, the attempted had failed. Most colonists returned to England, but Courant lead about 20 to Naumkeag[3] (whic ...

| | | | | Province of Massachusetts Bay: Encyclopedia II - Massachusetts Bay Colony - A Puritan colony The first 400 settlers under this new charter departed in April 1629. Most, but not all of the members of the Company were Puritans, and events during the spring and summer of 1629 convinced them they could only remain non-conformists in the Church of England by getting out of England. Charles I had dissolved the parliament, and William Laud, the Bishop of London, renewed the pressure on the separatist Puritans to conform with church practices. His harassment was a direct cause of the progressively larger emigrat ...

| | | | | Province of Massachusetts Bay: Encyclopedia II - Massachusetts Bay Colony - The seeds of democracy The colony's charter granted to the Massachusetts General Court the authority to elect officers and to make laws. Their first meeting in America was held October of 1630, but was attended by only eight freemen. They voted to grant all legislative, executive, and judicial power to a "Council" of the Governor's assistants (those same eight men). They then set up town boundaries, created taxes, and elected officers. To quell unrest caused by this limited franchise, they added 118 settlers to the court as freemen, but power remained with the council. The first murmers against the system arose when a tax was imposed ...

In 1717, the Company received a royal dictate from the Mughal Emperor exempting the Company from the payment of custom duties in Bengal, giving it a decided commercial advantage in the Indian trade. A decisive victory by Sir Robert Clive at the Battle of Plassey in 1757 established the British East India Company as a military as well as a commercial power. By 1760, the French were driven out of India, with the exception of a ...
