The USS Warren was one of 13 frigates authorized by the Continental Congress on 13 December 1775 and named for Dr. Joseph Warren on 06 June 1776. She was heavily armed and took several prizes on her cruises. Warren was burned to prevent capture in the ill-fated Penobscot Expedition in 1779.

Ironically, his friend, Paul Revere—who he sent on 19 April 1775 to warn the countryside from Boston to Concord that the British regulars were on the march—was charged with disobeying orders to give up his ordnance brig in order to evacuate the crew of a schooner drifting toward the enemy and that he fled Penobscot Bay without receiving any orders to do so.

At his court-martial, Revere argued that he did what he thought necessary to evacuate his men safely to Boston. The 13-officer military court agreed and acquitted him on both charges after deciding that the army was in such a confused state during the retreat that regular orders could not be given.

Summer 1779: The flames of revolution burn hottest in the South!
France and Spain have entered the war as America’s allies, shifting the balance and prompting Britain to unleash its ruthless Southern Strategy. The redcoats aim to seize the fertile southern colonies, rally Loyalist support, and protect their vital Caribbean sugar islands from French and Spanish fleets. If they succeed, the rebellion may be crushed forever.
Desperate to disrupt this plan, General George Washington dispatches Lieutenant Jeremiah Creed—his most capable and covert operative—deep into enemy territory. Using various disguises, Creed slips into the heart of South Carolina and Georgia, where loyalties fracture along lines of wealth, race, and survival.

24 May 1778. General William Howe left Philadelphia for England on board HMS Andromeda after resigning the previous October as commander-in-chief of all British land forces in America. Howe believed that he had lost the confidence of his ministers in London. General Henry Clinton assumed his command. There was no formal change of command. I wonder if his mistress, Mrs. Elizabeth Loring was sad?

Burgoyne’s 1777 campaign shows how ambition met geography in the Hudson River Valley.

The result? Saratoga.

On May 20, 1775, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, Dr. Joseph Warren wrote probably his last letter to his old friend, John Adams before he was killed at Bunker Hill. John was attending the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. At this time, Dr. Warren was seeking advice from the Continental Congress on constituting government for Massachusetts and urging Congress to take control of the military forces.

Dear Sir
Having wrote fully upon several Subjects to Mr. Hancock and Mr. Adams, upon several Matters which they will communicate to you, I can only add here that I Yesterday heard from your Family at Braintree were all in Health. A person having brought me a Letter from your Lady to me recommending one of your Brothers to be a Major in one of the Regiments, I am sorry the Letter did not arrive sooner, but I shall do all in my Power to obtain such a place for him yet, as he is the Brother of my Friend, and I hear is a worthy Man. I am Dear Sir most sincerely, Your Friend & Humble Servt. Joseph Warren

The twenty-two squares in Savannah, Georgia, are primarily named after prominent figures in American history, including politicians, historical events and Revolutionary War heroes. Among the squares named after Revolutionary War heroes are:

*Joseph Warren
*Marquis de Lafayette
*Casimir Pulaski
*Benjamin Franklin
*Nathanael Greene
*George Washington

A small but impressive list of men who dedicated their lives, and in the case of Warren and Pulaski, gave their lives for the American cause.

[Dr. Joseph Warren Foundation @DJWFoundation]

The passage of the Stamp Act inspired Dr. Joseph Warren to raise his voice in protest. On October 7, 1765, he wrote his first piece that was published in the Boston Gazette. Under the pseudonym B.W., he wrote that "The standing maxim of English liberty said that no man shall be taxed but with his own consent." And concluded with:

"The Provincial Debt, incurred by the late War, and which is daily increasing by the Interest which grows due thereon, is also very great. Add to this, that will drain the Province of the little Cash left among us, which at present barely serves for a Medium of Trade . . . Awake! Awake my Countrymen and by a regular and legal opposition defeat the Designs of those who enslave us and our Posterity. Nothing is wanting but your own Resolution—for great is the Authority, exalted the Dignity and powerful the Majesty of the People. Happy thrice happy should I be to have it in my Power to congratulate my Countrymen on so memorable a Deliverance; whilst I left the Enemies of Truth and Liberty to humble themselves in Sackcloth and Ashes."

On May 4, 1776, in the Old State House on Benefit Street in Providence, an act constituting Rhode Island the first free and independent republic in America and asserting her absolute independence of England, was passed. This is the room where it took place. And this is the plaque commemorating the event. My photos May 2018.
