About the Event
Synopsis of talk:
Joseph Warren was the foremost Patriot leader in 1775. He was a widowed father of four young children and a prominent Boston physician. His name, courage, and determination to stand opposed to British tyranny was known throughout the colonies and in England. Though not present, he unified the disgruntled First Continental Congress. He was forced to make the decision ALONE to ignite the American Revolution. He took part in every major event in Massachusetts starting in 1765 and ending with his sacrificial death at the Battle of Bunker Hill. British General William Howe declared Warren’s life equal to 500 ordinary colonials. A prominent Boston Loyalist stated that had Warren survived the war, the name of Washington would be obscure. Washington himself referred to Warren as the commander-in-chief. He had just turned thirty-four before being killed in action.
Joseph Warren was the essence of Liberty.
