During the Revolutionary War, British forces controlled Maine from the Midcoast area and points north and east. So Massachusetts sent a naval expedition with Paul Revere as a senior officer to try to eject them from Penobscot Bay. — PolitiTweet.org

I had missed the subplot in the Lincoln cancellation story that’s about Paul Revere and the Penobscot Expedition. Over the summer I visited Fort George Park in Castine, ME and learned about this. https://t.co/JeYKA3bTqD — PolitiTweet.org

The Americans were very badly defeated, but Revere is still a well-known figure for his earlier service in the Revolution. The Penobscot River is named after the Penobscot nation and the SF school board apparently decided the Penobscot Expedition was about conquering them. — PolitiTweet.org
