Explanation:

For Ticonderoga in Winter 1775 - 1776, the capture of Fort Ticonderoga by Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys was a significant early - stage event in the American Revolution, providing the rebels with much - needed artillery. For Boston on March 4, 1776, the departure of British troops and Loyalists was important as it marked a major victory for the American forces, effectively ending British control of Boston. You would sketch a scene of the capture at Ticonderoga (with soldiers and the fort) and a scene of ships leaving Boston harbor (with British and Loyalist figures).
