March 17, 1776. 10:00 AM. 120 British ships are crowded into the harbor, carrying 11,000 Redcoats and Loyalists away from Boston forever. After 8 years of occupation and an 11-month siege, the Patriots have won. 🇺🇸 #EvacuationDay #1776 #America250 How did a "ragtag" militia force the world’s most powerful empire to retreat? It wasn't a frontal assault. It was the Noble Train of Artillery. Henry Knox dragged 60 tons of cannon 300 miles through snow and ice. Washington placed them on Dorchester Heights overnight. The British woke up staring at their own destruction. General Howe had two choices: Attack the Heights (another Bunker Hill) or leave. He chose to leave. This was Washington’s first major win. It proved that discipline, logistics, and "Holding the Line" could beat a superpower. 111 days to the 250th Anniversary on July 4th. We aren't just remembering history—we're building the community that will lead the celebration.

FORGOTTEN HERO: John Glover & his Marblehead fishermen SAVED the Revolution—twice. Sept 1776: Evacuated Washington's ENTIRE army from Long Island under British noses. Without them? War over. Dec 1776: Ferried the army across the ice-choked Delaware for Trenton. Washington gets the painting. Glover did the rowing. 🚣 #WIGS1776 #America250 #RevolutionaryWar #History

Today at Vanta Delivers, we said goodbye to audit chaos and hello to Calm-pliance. 💜 🎉 For a lot of GRC teams, the hard part isn’t passing audits. It’s everything in between: the resets, the repeated evidence collection, the constant coordination that never quite compounds. That’s what @jadeehanson, @alexstamos, and Andrew Becherer dug into today, and what we’re building to change at Vanta. With this launch, we focused on helping programs operate more like systems that evolve over time—where controls can be reused across frameworks, scope stays aligned as the business changes, audits run against what already exists, and Agents reduce the coordination overhead that slows teams down. Today, @jeremy_epling shared how that comes to life in Vanta: → Enterprise Control for flexibility at scale → Vanta Agents to surface what matters and automate the rest → Privacy Automation to bring privacy into one system This is what #calmpliance looks like in practice.

MARCH 19, 1776: Smallpox haunts Washington. After the British evacuation, Washington forbids anyone from entering Boston without passes—waiting until town selectmen certify it "cleansed from Infection." He also writes Hancock with good news: his Beacon Hill house stands undamaged. Disease was a deadlier enemy than the British. 🦠 #WIGS1776 #America250 #RevolutionaryWar #History #Boston #OTD

March 18, 1776 — The Booby-Trapped City March 18, 1776. The British were gone. Boston was free. Washington sent 2,000 troops under General Putnam to take possession of the city. What they found: The British had destroyed buildings for firewood. Cut down trees. Torn down fences. The city was stripped bare. But that wasn't the worst of it. Hidden in houses near the fortifications, soldiers found loaded shells with powder trains covered in straw. Booby traps. Left to blow up anyone who entered. The British had promised not to harm the city on their way out. They left bombs instead. The shells were found and defused. No one died. But Boston would remember. The siege that started at Lexington and Concord — 11 months of occupation — was finally over. Washington had won his first victory without firing a shot at the enemy. And the city that started the Revolution was free. 🇺🇸 #OnThisDay #RevolutionaryWar #Boston1776 #March18

Today in history: March 17, 1776 Evacuation Day In the bitter March of 1776, Boston remained under British siege for nearly a year. General Washington, desperate for a breakthrough, sent Colonel Henry Knox to drag 59 cannons from Fort Ticonderoga across 300 miles of frozen wilderness. On the night of March 4, American troops silently fortified Dorchester Heights, hauling the guns into place overlooking the city and harbor. At dawn, the British awoke to cannon muzzles trained on their positions. General Howe weighed a risky counterattack but backed down as storms hit and the position proved too strong. After tense talks and threats to burn Boston, the British evacuated on March 17. More than 11,000 redcoats and over 1,000 Loyalists boarded 120 ships and sailed for Halifax, leaving the city intact. Boston exploded in celebration. Bells rang, crowds cheered, and American forces marched in unopposed. No battle was needed; it was a triumph of cunning, grit, and artillery. March 17, 1776 became Evacuation Day, the Revolution's first major victory and the end of the Siege of Boston. In parts of Massachusetts, it's still a holiday, celebrated alongside St. Patrick's Day.

Today in American History: Evacuation Day March 17, 1776 The Siege of Boston lasted from April 19, 1775 to March 17, 1776 and was the first extended military operation of the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War. Under General George Washington’s command, 16,000 Patriots encircled 11,000 British regulars in Boston. Colonel Henry Knox fortified the city with heavy artillery and threatened the Royal Navy’s position in Boston Harbor. British General William Howe opted against a counterattack and retreated his troops and Loyalists by sea to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

250 years ago, the British left Boston on what is now known as Evacuation Day. Today, we came back for the party! 🇬🇧🇺🇸 Minister @Matthew_Patrick joined South Boston's Evacuation Day ceremony to commemorate the British departure and the first moments of local control in Boston.

I heard that @REV250BOS and Jonathan Lane did a fantastic job marking the 250th anniversary of the Evacuation of Boston! Here are some photos from the day. Wish I could have been there!

Here in Boston on March 17, 1776, Evacuation Day, Americans can find the roots and true meaning of our Second Amendment.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘️ March 17, 1778. Valley Forge. Starvation. Disease. Frayed nerves. Someone dragged a "stuffed Paddy" effigy through camp to mock the Irish soldiers. It was a spark in a powder magazine. The Irish didn't see a joke. They saw an insult to their faith and heritage. Fights broke out. Nearly a mutiny. Washington stepped in. He didn't just tell them to stop. He recognized the grievance. Validated their identity. Then used the only currency that mattered: Extra grog for every man. He turned near-mutiny into unity with one order. The Pennsylvania Line was 50% Irish-born. He couldn't afford to lose them. That's leadership. ☘️🇺🇸 #StPatricksDay #StPatricksDay2026 #RevolutionaryWar #ValleyForge

Lord put me in a position where I don’t have to beg, borrow or struggle

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1770, the “Boston Massacre” occurred when British soldiers fired into the crowd, killing five American colonists. The colonists were protesting the British occupation of the city to enforce taxes. This event is considered the first bloodshed of the American Revolution. It fueled anti-British sentiment and was used by Patriots like Paul Revere to rally support for independence.

“The first major victory for the Continental Army occurred 250 years ago on March 17, 1776, when the British evacuated Boston. Following the fighting at Lexington and Concord, thousands of colonial militiamen surrounded the British army when they retreated to Boston. The Royal Navy maintained supply lines, and while the colonial forces effectively contained the British, they lacked the manpower to liberate Boston from British occupation. As the siege of Boston began, George Washington assumed command. His army consisted largely of short-term militia with uneven training, limited discipline, and severe shortages of weapons, ammunition, and artillery. Washington quickly realized that the Americans lacked the heavy guns necessary to threaten British positions within Boston. Determined not to launch a reckless frontal attack with significant losses, he instead focused on strengthening the army’s organization and searching for a strategic opportunity that might force the British to leave,” Alabama Supreme Court Justice Will Sellers writes.
