CHAPTER X.
New York ik the Revolutiok. — 1775-1781. Tlie Revolutionary war was simply the last of a long series of contests for j)olitical freedom, — a series in which were the first peti- tions for a charter, the Leislerian uprising against the aristocracy, the contest for an honest use of the revenue, the Zenger trial, the defeat of the Stamp Act, the non-importation agreement.
The Green Mountain Boys. — The men who first gained a vic- tory over English soldiers in New York were a baud of des...pised out- laws. The present State of Vermont had been declared to be part of New York. The New York government, however, had unwisely attempted to exact from the settlers of the New Hampshire grants a second price for their improved farms. Sheriffs were sent to enforce the claims ; these New York ofiicers met armed resistance and in a skirmish at Westchester killed a man and wounded others. In defense the inhabitants raised a band of militia called the Green Mountain Boys. They were led by such men as Ethan Allen and Seth Warner, for whose capture as outlaws the assembly of New York offered a reward of two hundred and fifty dollars each.
