They called the British soldiers "lobsterbacks" for their red coats and continually insulted them. At the Boston Massacre in 1770, the Americans taunted the British soldiers so much, the British opened fire on themLinda Banchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143074276306710646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265233912912703190.post-58379550029781706262010-07-04T17:03:46.292-05:002010-07-04T17:03:46.292-05:00"Some of the cartoons are jaw-dropping in the..."Some of the cartoons are jaw-dropping in their savagery."<br /><br />Lindsay, great description and that time is likely returning. Free speech is being limited more and more, thus, cartoons, black humor, songs, every kind of communication will be used to express what is not being allowed, as has always happened in our history/herstory.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265233912912703190.post-87904469822602260602010-07-04T15:01:25.178-05:002010-07-04T15:01:25.178-05:00Hi Linda and Savanna - Happy July 4to you and your...Hi Linda and Savanna - Happy July 4to you and yours! Hope the holiday brings you peace health and happiness!<br /><br />Linda - I never realised what an insult that little song was - but the 17th century was full of satire as well as amazing fashion. Some of the cartoons are jaw-dropping in their savagery.<br /><br />Thanks so much for this. It's the kind of historical nugget I love.Lindsay Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11513558547686982857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265233912912703190.post-87109056476330613362010-07-04T13:42:35.930-05:002010-07-04T13:42:35.930-05:00Wow!
