In Boston on this date in 1770 - a mob of angry colonists estimated at 300 - 400 gathered at the Customs House. The colonists were protesting taxation measures passed by the British parliament without American representation. Nine British soldiers fired into the crowd killing five colonists. These deaths are sometimes regarded as the first fatalities of the American Revolution. Represented by future US President John Adams, six of the soldiers were acquitted; the other two were convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to branding on the thumb, according to the law at that time. The event was subsequently described as "a massacre" by Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and other leading Patriots.

249 years ago on this date - January 3, 1777 - the Battle of Princeton was fought. It was a decisive American victory where George Washington's Continental Army outmaneuvered and defeated British forces near Princeton, New Jersey, boosting Patriot morale and forcing the British to withdraw from most of New Jersey. Washington's forces circled around the British rear, attacking a vulnerable garrison under Lt. Col. Mawhood, with key engagements at Stony Brook and Nassau Hall, securing momentum for the American cause.
