The Battle of Ticonderoga occurred during the American Revolutionary War on May 10, 1775 in Ticonderoga, New York.
History
Bart was briefly expelled from Springfield Elementary and homeschooled by Marge. Bart took an interest in the book Johnny Tremain, set during the American Revolution, so Marge suggested they take a field trip to Olde Springfield Towne. The guide explained during a slideshow how Jebediah Springfield led a charge in the Battle of Ticonderoga, but he was also credited with whacking a snake on the first "Whacking Day" in 1775. Bart noticed a discrepancy and asked how Jebediah Springfield could be whacking a snake in Springfield on the first Whacking Day and also at the Battle of Ticonderoga, as both events would have occurred on the same day: May 10th, 1775.
