Since that time, the primary mission of the park has been to approximate the cultural environment that existed in 1775 and preserve and interpret individual resources that contribute to understanding the events of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. As part of this mission, the National Park Service has removed more than 200 nineteenth and twentieth century buildings and structures in an attempt to recreate the open, agricultural appearance that the area had at the time of the battle. The three units of Minute Man NHP North Bridge, Wayside, and Battle Road were administratively listed in the National Register of Historic Places as National Historic Landmark districts in 1966, but no list of contributing and non-contributing resources within the park was included. The goals of this documentation are to define all the National Register areas of significance and criteria under which the park is eligible for listing and to provide an accurate accounting of contributing and non-contributing resources that will aid in the subsequent management of the park.

Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.” - George Washington, August 27, 1776 When General Thomas Gage, the British military governor of Boston, sent one thousand troops to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock at Lexington in April of 1775, he could not know the serious implications of his actions. Nor could he know how he had helped to set in motion a major rebellion that would shake the very foundations of the mightiest Empire on earth. General Gage was a military man who had been in North America since the 1750s, and had more experience than any other senior British officer. He had fought in the French and Indian War alongside a young George Washington, with whom he still had a friendly relationship. Gage had married an American woman from a prominent New Jersey family, and 10 of their 11 children had been born in the Colonies.

DOWN BUT NOT OUT: HOW AMERICAN SLAVERY SURVIVED THE CONSTITUTIONAL ERA by JASON E. BUTLER Under the Direction of H. Robert Baker, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Whether through legal assault, private manumissions or slave revolt, the institution of slavery weathered sustained and substantial blows throughout the era spanning the American Revolution and Constitutional Era. The tumult of the rebellion against the British, the inspiration of Enlightenment ideals and the evolution of the American economy combined to weaken slavery as the delegates converged on Philadelphia for the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Even in the South, it was not hard to find prominent individuals working, speaking or writing against slavery. During the Convention, however, Northern delegates capitulated to staunch Southern advocates of slavery not because of philosophical misgivings but because of economic considerations. Delegates from North and South looked with anticipation toward the nation’s expansion into the Southwest, confident it would occasion a slavery-based economic boom.

    JOINT and COMBINED OPERATIONS on the HUDSON RIVER, 1777 and 1781

    NAVAL WAR COLLEGE Newport, R.I. “MAKING THE BEST USE OF YOUR JOINT FORCES”: JOINT AND COMBINED OPERATIONS ON THE HUDSON RIVER, 1777 and 1781 by James M. Johnson Colonel, U.S. Army JOINT AND COMBINED OPERATIONS ON THE HUDSON RIVER, 1777 and 1781 James M. Johnson, Colonel, U.S. Army, 1995 Abstract of “MAKING THE BEST USE OF YOUR JOINT FORCES”: JOINT AND COMBINED OPERATIONS ON THE HUDSON RIVER, 1777 AND 1781 British, French, and American commanders in the American Revolution understood the concepts of allied, joint, and amphibious operations. These operations fit within a defensive strategy that General George Washington and Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton practiced for most of the war: a war of posts with New York City and the “line of the Hudson” as the “seat of the war.” Through their experiences in the wars of the mid- eighteeth century the British developed sophisticated doctrine and practices for joint, amphibious operations. Because of this joint doctrine, Clinton and Commodore William Hotham were able to conduct a series of classic, amphibious landings to capture the fortifications of the Hudson Highlands in October 1777 and even burn the New York capital at Kingston. After a disastrous joint campaign in 1777, with French support and guidance, Washington and Lieutenant General Rochambeau threatened New York City with a joint expedition in the summer of 1781. While the Allied, joint forces failed to capture New York City, they later trapped the army of Lieutenant General Charles, Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown in the last significant campaign of the war. ii JOINT AND COMBINED OPERATIONS ON THE HUDSON RIVER, 1777 and 1781 James M.
