#OTD #CivilWar hero Thomas Cass was born in Queens County, Ireland, and 8 months later emigrated to #Boston's NorthEnd. A popular civic, business + militia leader, he was chosen by Governor John Andrew to lead the #Massachusetts #irish 9th regiment in June, 1861. Cass was mortally wounded at the Battle of Malvern Hill, Virginia, on July 1, 1862, and brought back to #Boston, where he died. Visit his statue in Boston Public Garden along the #irishheritagetrail and a plaque at The Prado in the North End from his neighbors. irishboston.blogspot.com/202… #meetboston

On May 26, 1647, the #Massachusetts General Court officially passed a law banning Catholic Jesuit priests from the Bay Colony. This anti-Catholic sentiment, based on Puritan ideology, lasted for centuries in #Boston. irishboston.blogspot.com/202…
