The winds of war

The Revolutionary War nearly started earlier than it did thanks to Sarah Tarrant. Tarrant was a nurse with a fiery temper who lived in Salem, Massachusetts in 1775. When British commander Alexander Leslie came to Salem in search of cannons he believed were hidden there, some of the locals taunted him refusing to let his troops cross the bridge into town, and scuttled his boat. During the confrontation the Salem militia gathered, armed and ready for a fight. To save face, and his troops, he ordered his men to return to Boston. On their way out, Sarah Tarrant hurled insults at the retreating redcoats, one of whom stopped and aimed his musket at her despite Leslie’s order to stand down. Fortunately, the soldier didn’t fire otherwise it’s possible the Revolutionary War would have started right then and there.
