... every state furnished men for the other side, there was little doubt that more Federals than Confederates "crossed over." The South had superior officer personnel.

We were all as guilty as she was, yet it was so easy to hold her responsible. I can’t believe that we would do something like that. I regret so much of what happened. I wish that I could go back to that day and have put and end to the horr ...

... other British soldiers came to the sentry's support, a free-for-all ensued and shots were fired into the crowd. Four died on the spot and a fifth died after four days. Six others were wounded. The presence of British troops in Boston had long been a sore point among Boston's radical politicians.

I can’t imagine little, innocent, eight, nine, ten year olds working long hours in a very big, tough, factory. I find it to be very sad to see business tycoons putting little children to work.
