Save Fort Pitt

With the lessons learned here, other strategic forts were built under orders by General Washington, himself a veteran of one of the wars fought here, e.g., "Fort Laurens was built in late November, 1778, on the banks of the Tuscarawas River near what is now Bolivar, Ohio. General McIntosh named the fort in honor of the President of the Continental Congress, Henry Laurens." To understand that, one needs its precedents. Save Fort Pitt! Ironically, the British Army tore down the statue of William Pitt, an English supporter of America in Parliament, after, Patriots tore down King George's statue in Hanover Square, New York City. The kings statue became many musket balls in Connecticut. Source: Save Fort Pitt: Signatures
