https://weare.dcnh.tv/videos/watch/2afaafd9-a8ec-4ae9-ba11-83f0f523b182 In 1772—before Lexington, before Concord— colonial resistance turned violent in the Weare woods. British law claimed the tallest white pines for the Royal Navy. The colonists kept cutting them anyway. When enforcement came, so did retaliation. Men were arrested. Judges ruled. And the punishment became a quiet declaration of independence. Why do school books teach the Boston Tea Party (1773)… but ignore the Pine Tree Riot (1772)? #pinetreeriot #AmericanRevolution #America250#PatriotCrest Was it because resistance in New Hampshire was already too real? This video is a historical dramatization based on documented events. Violence is implied, not shown.
