Between 1772 and 1775, tensions escalated between the American colonies and British authorities, leading to significant events that fueled the American Revolution. In 1773, the Boston Tea Party occurred, where colonists protested against British taxation by dumping tea into Boston Harbor. The British responded with the Coercive Acts (Intolerable Acts) in 1774, aiming to assert control over the colonies. These actions united the colonies further, culminating in the First Continental Congress in 1774, where delegates from various colonies convened to address their grievances against British rule.

In 1774, having its own militia was crucial for each colony as it allowed them to maintain a degree of self-defense and independence in the face of British aggression. The militias served as a local force capable of responding quickly to threats, fostering a sense of unity and collective identity among the colonies. This local military organization also facilitated the coordination of resistance efforts against British policies, laying the groundwork for the eventual armed conflict that would lead to the American Revolution. Ultimately, it symbolized the colonies' growing desire for autonomy and self-governance.
The battle you're referring to is likely the Battle of Fort William and Mary, which took place in December 1774 in New Hampshire. Patriots attacked the fort, which was held by loyalist forces, and successfully seized its supplies. During the conflict, many loyalist prisoners were executed, reflecting the intense animosity between Patriots and loyalists during the American Revolutionary period. This event exemplified the escalating violence and divisions that characterized the struggle for independence.
