In his liberty-tree letter, Thomas Jefferson remarked that government should be reminded from time to time that the people possess the spirit of resistance.
This April 19 marks the 238[SUP]th[/SUP] anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord--the shot heard round the world--when local militia engaged British regulars sent to seize arms and ammunition.
It was quite an amazing fight. The minutemen turned back the redcoats, forcing a fighting retreat almost all the way back to Boston.
If you've never read the details of the fighting, I urge you to set aside a few minutes to look it up on-line and read about it.
