On the 250th anniversary of this famous letter, we reflect on the longing in her words...

"Braintree March 31, 1776
I wish you would ever write me a Letter half as long as I write you;..I have sometimes been ready to think that the passion for Liberty cannot be Eaquelly Strong in the Breasts of those who have been accustomed to deprive their fellow Creatures of theirs. Of this I am certain that it is not founded upon that generous and christian principal of doing to others as we would that others should do unto us.
I long to hear that you have declared an independency -- and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.
That your S*x are Naturally Tyrannical is a Truth so thoroughly established as to admit of no dispute, but such of you as wish to be happy willingly give up the harsh title of Master for the more tender and endearing one of Friend. Why then, not put it out of the power of the vicious and the Lawless to use us with cruelty and indignity with impunity. Men of Sense in all Ages abhor those customs which treat us only as the vassals of your S*x. Regard us then as Beings placed by providence under your protection and in immitation of the Supreem Being make use of that power only for our happiness."

MARCH 25, 1776 We just found this tidbit while researching George Washington on MountVernon.org:
"On this day, 250 years ago: Washington leans on Nathanael Greene to impose order in Boston..."

It's always so exciting to see highly-anticipated media placements publish, and even more exciting when it's a front page news story! This feature story on RI250Quest.com ran in the Providence Journal last week, and on the cover of The Newport Daily News today. What a fresh, fun way to start a rainy, cold Monday!

RI250 Quest is an interesting and interactive way for people of all ages to learn about Rhode Island's fascinating Revolutionary-era history! The gaming fun starts with a kick-off event May 3rd at the General Nathanael Greene Homestead in Coventry and the quest makes stops all around the Ocean State this summer, through July 11th, when winners will be announced on a state-wide leaderboard.
