Also, in regards to the Martin Luther story, back in that day the front of the church was basically the town's bulletin board. So nailing something there, even if it did happen, was not as dramatic as it seems.

[@markhorton3994]

You got Luther totally wrong. Luther did post the 95 theses on the University bulletin board also known as the Church door. They were an invitation to debate just like the 97 theses he posted several weeks before on a different subject. No one saw him post the 95 theses but many saw them there. Luther never took his complaints to the church. The church summoned him to answer for his statements. It is very hard to claim loyalty to the Roman Catholic Church when one is an excommunicated, married former monk. There are many books and videos about Luther that give details.

[@heronimousbrapson863]

The church door of the time was the town bullitenboard; adverts of all kinds were posted on churchdoors including invitations to debate various topics posted by scholars and students. It was not seen as a rebellious action.

[@Kevin-et5zs]

Regarding the midnight ride story, the truth is even stranger. The object of the crown forces was the cannon, powder and small arms held at Fort William and Mary, in New Castle. Paul Revere rode to Portsmouth to alert the colonists, who promptly got drunk and made rebellious noises for several hours. And then decided to trudge over to the fort and get the weapons, on foot, in the snow, in December. When they arrived, they told the commander of the fort that they'd just popped over for a chat and tea, which didn't go over at all, the commander having already been alerted to a possible raid. So, shots were fired and the colonists overwhelmed the small garrison, with the bulk of the injuries being caused by the commander's wife wielding a sword. However, no one died. The fort was taken, and the powder and weapons removed, except for some of the larger guns, which the colonists sent a boat for later in the week, having sobered up and not wanting to hike back. So, the first battle of the Revolution really took place on December 14, 1774, in New Hampshire, and not in Massachusetts like you were told in school. The gunpowder was later used at the Battle of Bunker Hill, which of course really happened at Breed's Hill...

The real meaning of the cherry tree story: The cherry tree had been chopped down by a slave boy. The boy was one of George's childhood buds.

Martin Luther left the Catholic church. He also wrote a ninety-five point thesis against papal corruption and nailed it to the Wittenberg Castle door. However, he was not the first Catholic to protest and leave the religion. Many came before Luther and died protesting.
