SUMMARY:The Plight of Loyalists in Massachusetts
DESCRIPTION:It’s been said that history is written by the victors\, so it’s not surprising that the story of those loyal to the Crown in the American colonies is not as widely known as that of the Patriots. \nAs the drumbeat to independence grew louder\, Loyalists faced their Patriot neighbors’ scorn and also the agonizing decision of whether or not to flee their towns and homes. \nVarious historians have estimated that between 60\,000 and 100\,000 people fled the colonies by the time “America’s first civil war” ended. \nDr. Kerpelman will present a picture of how ordinary Massachusetts Loyalists and their Patriot neighbors interacted with one another during that fraught time between the 1750’s and the 1790’s. \nA brief tour of the 1699 Isaac Winslow House is included.

SUMMARY:“A STATE OF REBELLION” PART II: HONORING THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, June 17th\, at 7pm at the Adams Academy\, 8 Adams Street\, Quincy Historical Society will host the second part of a program exploring life in Braintree during the first pivotal months of the American Revolution. The City of Quincy’s Directory of Historic Heritage and Resources\, Bob Damon\, and Quincy Historical Society’s Executive Director Emeritus Ed Fitzgerald\, will be joined by New England Slavery Historian Kerima M. Lewis Ph.D to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill. \nDrawing from newly compiled archival records\, this program will follow local commanders like Captains Elihu Adams\, Silas Wild\, and Seth Turner and their men from the April 19th alarm to their deployments as Braintree’s “eight-months” companies at Prospect Hill and Fort No. 2 and their part in the preparations for the Battle of Bunker Hill. \nThe presentation will also uncover lesser-known events like the Grape Island skirmish and examine the deep tensions within the town—including documented loyalist families who stood on the other side of the conflict. With vivid eyewitness accounts\, such as Abigail Adams’s letters from the Braintree home front\, and detailed muster records from the Massachusetts Archives\, this program offers a richly detailed portrait of a Massachusetts coastal community at war. \nThis event\, part of the Historical Society’s ongoing celebrations of Quincy400\, is open to all and free to attend.
