Revolutionary War and Civil War Tour
Southwest
Vermont, from Bennington to the Manchester area, played a very significant
role
in the winning of the revolutionary war. Ethan Allen and the Green
Mountain Boys planned
their capture of Fort Ticonderoga (the first Colonists’ victory) from here
and defeated the British in
the Battle of Bennington which kept supplies from the British who then
surrendered at Saratoga (NY)
which was the turning point in the War.
Surprisingly, Vermont also has many ties to the Civil War. For instance,
Vermont lost more people
in the Civil War than any other state in the Union. Every
generation of Abraham Lincoln’s descendents
lived or visited the Manchester and Dorset areas. Some Lincolns were interred
here. Tombstones for
Gettysburg came from this area and more.
