Question

Why did the deacon in boston hang two lanterns from his church?

ANSWER QUICK CHRISTMAS IS 2 WEEKS AWAY AND I HAVE A F IN SOCIAL STUDIES!

Answer 1

To show that the British were fighting by sea or land

Answer 2

Doing a bit of research, I found out that one lantern meant the British would march over the Boston Neck, and two lanterns meant that the British would take a shortcut by rowing boats across the Charles River.

Hope this helps!
