| Event Information
|
The Battle of Ticonderoga occurred during the American Revolutionary War on May 10, 1775 in Ticonderoga, New York.
History[edit]
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.
