 Glocester Heritage Society - Jocktan Putnam's Cows
In the winter of 1782-83, with the eight-year American Revolution winding down to its victorious conclusion, the town of Glocester, Rhode Island found itself embroiled in a bloody and contentious controversy that threatened to tear that community apart.
These insurrectionists assaulted local lax collectors and lawmen in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, broke up tax auctions, freed debtors from jail, defied (and denied) the authority of the state, and held rallies that openly advocated the cessation of all taxes.
In doing so they not only tested the stability of the fledgling Confederation-era government of the state of Rhode Island, but more disturbing perhaps to those witness or subject to the violence, they also rejected the ideology of the Revolution and all it stood for.

This decrease in population of the town is owing in a great degree to the tendency to populate the cities and villages.
The territory of Rhode Island being limited in extent, and its population mainly engaged in manufacturing, these industries have had a tendency to build up a large number of villages, varying in size, and in these villages and cities have concentrated the greater percentage of the population.
The spirit shown in these eloquent words, seems to have been strongly entertained by the inhabitants of this town, and Glocester came to the front in defence of her liberties, thus demonstrating the fact that she could not only resolve, but act as well.
