In response to going to Battle Road april 15th and seeing the revolution re-enactment

My boyfriend Patrick:
Well, of course different communities have different views of the Revolution. Concord is proud we won it but still wishes we were all British anyway. Acton likes to think they were Just As Important as Concord, largely ignoring that they were a sheep meadow, not a town, in the late 1700's. Pepperell thinks Prudence Cummings is the real hero(ine) of the battle since she was Captain of the bridge guard and actually captured a British soldier that day. (Acton thinks Pepperell sucks since they're clearly inferior to Acton, but somehow managed to snag a piece of history more compelling than "Minutemen had to step (carefully) through our fields on that day." (coming from Pepperell, no doubt. )

Upon telling him that I posted this, he replies:
Hmmm... I suppose I should have written it more clearly. Prudence Cummings was captain of the bridge guard in Pepperell (not Concord, which seems to be implied.) Also, thinking on it, Concord isn't so proud we won the Revolution as they are proud to have started it.
