The record — long form
The Exchange is the 1771 — the custom house that's the port, the tea that's the protest. The dungeon is the provost — the '80-'82 British prison, the signers who were held. The gunpowder was the walled — the 10,000 pounds that Moultrie hid, the false wall that's the secret.
The Declaration was the read — the '76 steps that heard it, the '80 occupation that followed. The Washington was the '91 — the ball that's the second floor, the tour that's the southern. The Exchange is the pivot — the market and the prison, the independence and the occupation.
The file keeps the Exchange: the 1771 building, the provost dungeon, the gunpowder secret, and the Declaration reading.
