Notice of Freeholders’ Meeting in Boston     

This document, published only two days before the notice to the selectmen of Groton was sent, is a full account of the discussion topics and voting outcomes of the Boston Freeholders (property owners), and other such Boston inhabitants. The meeting, which took place in Faneuil Hall, dealt with many key issues that we still remember as turning points toward the fight for sovereignty, such as the threat of British troops arriving in Boston and the coercion of colonial money to be used in service of the Crown.
