Label TextThis story involves conflicts that fueled political tensions in eighteenth century Massachusetts. Here a revolutionary with his crowd of supporters warns a royalist that he must renounce the English crown. Howard Pyle gives the royalist's wife a startled expression, while other onlookers display a range of reactions.
