Excerpt: ...force was sent out from Bos-ton to meet and pro-tect them, but the A-mer-i-cans kept up the pursuit un-til they found safe-ty un-der the guns of their ships of war. Thus be-gan the war of the Rev-o-lution, in which all the Col-o-nies were to take part, and which was to end in mak-ing of them great, u-nit-ed, and free States. When it was de-cided to put the coun-try on a war foot-ing, the Sons of Lib-er-ty (as the A-mer-i-can pa-tri-ots were called) in New York act-ed with prompt en-er-gy.
