I live in boston, I have a wife and son, I am part of the British army. I just woke up to a knock on my door. I went up to my wife when I was told that I needed to go to my post. We started marching at night. It is nearing morning now, we’ve finally made it to concord. The plan is to brake into a weapons stash. We want to steal their guns so they cant fight back. We are going to steal the weapons during the early morning hours. I hope this goes smoothly and as planned.]]> 2018-11-06 16:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/301077222 mason_mcfeeters https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/301617902 Today is April 19, 1775. The continental army was guarding the stash when we got there. We just started a gunfight leaving 8 men dead. We just broke in to the weapon stash. We were filled with disappointment when we found nothing. No guns were left. Only empty crates of hay. I guess this was all for nothing. If we keep wasting time we will be more and more distant from those gun. Our general has told us that we will burn the stash.]]> 2018-11-07 16:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/301617902 mason_mcfeeters https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/302171242 The stash is burned to the ground. There are no remains. We searched concord for 4 hours. There are no signs of the continental army. Our general says that we can’t waste anymore time looking for them. We are going to march back to Boston. We started marching a half hour before the sun set. I keep getting the feeling that we are being followed. There has been rumors of special soldiers in the area. It’s just a rumor, right?]]> 2018-11-08 16:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/302171242 mason_mcfeeters https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/302647996 We are marching in the dark. I’m in the back of the march. I thought I heard something behind me. It must be nothing. I definitely heard something behind me. The march is stopped. Then there was a gunshot. It hit the man next to square in the chest. It is the militia men, hiding in the trees. There are hundreds of them we can’t see them.]]> 2018-11-09 16:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/302647996 mason_mcfeeters https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/303862782 They are hiding behind houses, and rocks. We cant get any shots on them. I only see the flash of the gun. Men are hitting the ground all around me. Men are dropping their weapons so they can run away. I am retreating, and taking cover. I am going to run back to Boston, and inform the troops. When i showed up at Boston there were so many reinforcements waiting for us. The militia men are still firing at us. We are trying to hold them off with our cannons.]]> 2018-11-13 16:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/303862782 mason_mcfeeters https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/304392062 We are still firing cannons. We cant hold them off much longer. We are having to retreat. Our commander says to go to the ships and we will fire from there. The sky is grey and cloudy. There was a flash of lightning. We cant shoot with the storm rocking the boat. We cant fight them off. We might be doomed. We will fight and hold our ground for as long as we can.]]> 2018-11-14 16:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/304392062 mason_mcfeeters https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/304893833 I found this journal on the ground. It was lying next to a dead man. We just took over boston. I don’t know what commander Washington wants us to do next. We are setting up defenses. Cannons, barricades. We are getting ammo off of the dead bodies. We are going to rest through the nigh, i finally get to eat. I’m so hungry but i will be prepared to fight in the morning.i cant believe we have won a battle against the strongest army in the world.]]> 2018-11-15 16:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/304893833 mason_mcfeeters https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/305328512 We have secured the base on the hill outside of boston. Our general George Washington is letting us rest. I’m going out of my tent to meet up with my buddys. Since the victory at boston we have taken control of the ports and the British ships. Some of the troops are staying in the lower decks. It will be a long night of drinking and celebration before our next battle. This is an important step to our independence from Britain. I think this means that I can leave my post for a while. We are Americans and we’re proud of it. I am a living miracle.]]> 2018-11-16 16:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mason_mcfeeters/4jlb7gmqe0aj/wish/305328512
