  • Acton 250: “I Screamed with All My Might” – The Civilians Trapped Behind the Boston Siege Lines

    Acton Town Hall, Room 204 472 Main Street, Acton, MA

    In the aftermath of the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775, numerous civilians found themselves trapped within Boston, encircled by the newly formed Massachusetts Grand Army. The constant fear of an American assault, coupled with outbreaks of disease and the erosion of civil liberties under martial rule fostered an atmosphere of desperation.
