To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Resolutions were passed for training the in- habitants, and every man was expected to prepare himself for a vigorous defence of the rights and liberties of his coun- tiy . The colony of New Hampshire had hitherto acted with great moderation during these disturbances ; but on receiv- ing intelligence of the proclamation forbidding the export of arms to the colonies and of the proceedings in consequence of it at Rhode Island, they resolved to imitate them." The people of New Hampshire seized the ...cannon at Ports- mouth, with the munitions of war, and stored the powder under the jpulpit of the Congregational Church. . May 4th, 1776, the General Assembly of Rhode Island, in session in the State House in Newport, repealed the act securing the allegiance of the people to the British crown, and ordered that the use of the King's name be discontinued in all papers and proceedings in the colony. Thus just two months before the 4th of July, 1776, the people of Rhode Island threw off their allegiance to the British crown and set up an independent State.
