Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Massachusetts: From July, 1775, When General Washington Took Command of the American Army, at Cambridge, to the Year 1789, Inclusive, When the Federal Government Was Established Under the Present Constitution After this event, the contest having assumed a more military character, and being supported by the united strength of all the provinces, the history Of Massachusetts becomes more connected with the general proceedings Of the whole: and as the theatre of the war for many months after the epoch above mentioned, was in that province, a record Of events which there occurred will include the important transactions of all the colonies in opposition to British usurpation. A principal part Of the force opposed to the ministerial troops was also furnished by Massachusetts, for some time after the organization of the continental army. In the subsequent periods Of the revolutionary war, though the leading events which took place in the United States have been preserved by able writers, the particular efforts Of Massachusetts have not been fully recorded. A faithful narra tive will Show, that her citizens did not relax in their exertions after the seat Of war was removed to other parts of the continent; but that the same zeal was exhibited and support given, through the whole contest, which appeared in its early stage.
