Henry Knox was in Boston ,
and he went to New York for
ammunition. The bad cannons weighed a ton. Knox brought the cannons over a lake
and dragged them through snow, but he never gave up. He used his money for oxen
to help him through hills and swamps in the winter. There were no roads and
fallen trees everywhere. Two cannons fell in the lake, but Knox went after them
and got them. Cannons sunk in the mud. He was at a roadblock, and he had three
choices: 1. Give up. 2. Hit the wall (mediocrity). 3. Pray. 60 cannons got to Boston
with Knox. 2,400 men built ramparts and set up cannons all night. A storm comes
in, and Washington is frustrated
because he can’t fight the British. The loyalists and British left Washington,
and he got Boston without fighting.
Instead of killing the extra people in Boston , Washington
