massachusetts state house
directly across the street from the state house is thethis is one of the nation's most important war monuments- a memorial to interracial cooperation as well as to individual heroism. when the civil war broke out many massachusetts' black residents wanted to join in the fight to free their enslaved brethren. but u.s. army policy prohibited blacks from enlisting. after pleas from governor andrew, the war department relented and allowed blacks to severe. this monument represents the men who served in the regiment and robert gould shaw who lead the men.
if any of you have seen the movie glory you know the story of the monument and how powerful it is.
handsome boys!!
we also visited granary burial grounds where there are several famous people who buried. samuel adams, mother goose, benjamin frankiln's parents (many people think he is because there is such a large monument with the name fraklin on it,)
john hancock, and paul revere.
a view of all the head stones. most of them you can't even read what is written on them so really they don't know how many people are buried here or where exactly everyone is buried.
john hancock monument
a monument with paul revere's name
his actual resting spot.
