Long ago I wrote and presented a monograph on the activities of New Hampshire's Sons of Liberty, who in December, 1774, captured Portsmouth's chief defense and cleaned out its gunpowder store. Fascinating to read of the parallel activities in South Carolina.

Fascinating parallels with Boston. Interesting how close the votes were.
