Wasn't that a group of English farmers who lived on communes? I think it was in the early 1700's or 1800's?
Yes that's right, I was kind of hoping for more detailed answer, but am too lazy at the moment. It was in the middle of 17th century though.
They settled wastelands, but it didn't stop other farmers and officials harassing them. I think it speaks volumes about human mind: it doesn't matter whether your actions take away something from the others, more important is that you think differently, and it's the biggest crime you can do.

Thank you civ king.
In April of 1775, shortly after Lexington and Concord the Continental Army surrounded the British in Boston. The Americans forced the British to leave Boston by placing cannon on Dorchester Heights. From this vantage point the cannon could fire on Boston, the surrounding area, and the British fleet. In order for the plan to succeed, the cannon had to be placed along Dorchester Heights under the cover of darkness with the task being completed in one night. This was accomplished by using ingeniously designed portable breastworks which required virtually no digging. What is the name of the young officer who designed these breastworks?
Two hints He later became the first Surveyor General of the United States. And he had a more famous cousin who was a general in the Continental Army.

A reenactor friend of mine did a paper on the Ohio Company for a class and she couldn't stop talking about him a few weeks ago. 
It was a good question though.
I suck at making questions for this, so it's up for grabs.

I'm new to this thread and I'm not sure if I'm jumping the gun but its been well over 72 hours. So here is a question:
In 1803 Robert Emmet tried to ignite a rebellion against British rule in Ireland by taking Dublin Castle the administrative centre of British Rule. His plan was to sneak into the castle in carraiges after dark. He recruited men from the nearby countryside however they came too early and Emmet told them to disperse accross the city and come back closer to the attack. Most did not return, why?

They were drunk?
