1770 · Boston Tea Party
Thousands of British troops were sent to Boston to enforce Britain's tax laws. Taxes were repealed on all imports to the American Colonies except tea. Americans, disguised as Native Americans, dumped chests of tea imported by the East India Company into the Boston Harbor in protest. This escalated tensions between the American Colonies and the British government.
1775 · The Shot Heard Around the World
"On April 18, 1775, a shot known as the ""shot heard around the world"" was fired between American colonists and British troops in Lexington, Massachusetts. This began the American War for Independence. Fifteen months later, Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence. The Treaty of Paris was signed in September 1783 which ended the war. The colonies were no longer under British rule. Many who fought for the British fled to Canada, the West Indies, and some to England."
1787 · English Convicts Sail to Australia
The first fleet of convicts sailed from England to Australia on May 13, 1787. By 1868, over 150,000 felons had been exiled to New South Wales, Van Diemen's Land, and Western Australia.
Name Meaning
English (Suffolk and Norfolk): from the Middle English personal names Baldri(c) and Baldrich. The first is usually from ancient Germanic Baldric, which was common in the French forms Baldri and Baudri. The second represents the cognate Old English name Bealdrīc, formed from beald ‘bold, brave’ + rīc ‘ruler’, which is attested in Middle English forms such as Belrich, Balrich, Baltriht, and Baldrich.
