The Freedom Trail

Just as usual, we had a trip in Friday with our team--Red Sox. it was Freedom Trail Tour, and including twelve places, which are The Boston Common, Parker Street Church, Granary Burying Ground, King's Chapel and King's Chapel Burying Ground, Boston Latin School, The Old South Meeting House, The Boston Massacre, The Old State House, Fanueil Hall, Paul Revere's House, The Old North Church, and Copp's Hill.

All of these places have their own special historical meanings. We did the trip with walking all the time, and each of us has choosen a place before, then do a presentation when we arrive that place. I choosed the place that called The Boston Massacre Site, it famouse for a nviloent incident in 1770.

It was a mob of men and boys taunting a sentry standing guard at the city's customs house, when other British Soldiers came to the sentry's support, a free-for-all ensued and shots were fired into the crowd. And it leds to the deaths of five civilians at the hands of British troops. The legal aftermath of which helped spark the rebellion in some of the British of American colonies, which culminated in the American Revolutionary War and the Boston Tea Party.

Through this trip, we gain more infromation about these historical interests. Although we were very tired, thie trip was educative. And I also know more about this old city with long histroy.
