But before the rejoic-ing was over in America, she began again her encroachments on ourliberty. Sir Richard Grenville was out of office, and CharlesTownshend, who succeeded him, was determined the colonies shouldsubmit.

The thing which most outraged Boston, about this time, was thefact that a large detachment of red-coated British soldiers were sentthere and quartered for a time in Faneuil Hall. That was toomuch to bear. They hated the soldiers, and it was a doubleoffense to put them in Faneuil Hall, where indignation meetingsabout the stamp act had been held. Already Faneuil Hall wascalled fondly The Cradle of Liberty.
