Musketoons could be of the same caliber as the issue musket, or of a much larger caliber, 1.0 2.5 inches 25 63 mm . The musketoon is most commonly associated with navy naval use, and pirate s in particular, though they also served in a carbine role with cavalry . Musketoon barrels were often flared at the muzzle, resembling a cannon or blunderbuss . Description Musketoons had a brass or iron barrel, and used a wheellock or flintlock firing mechanism, like the typical musket of the period. They were fired from the shoulder like the musket, but the shorter length barrels were as short as a foot 30 cm long made them easier to handle in restricted conditions, such as with mounted cavalry by not using the big also heavy musket or it could be used on naval boarding parties. Image Pattern 1861 Enfield Musketoon Reproduction.JPG thumb Replica of a Pattern 1861 Enfield Musketoon. Smaller bore musketoons matched the caliber of the muskets in service, and were generally used the same way, with single musket ball or a buck and ball load, while large bore musketoons were loaded with multiple buckshot or pistol balls generally smaller in diameter than musket balls and used as shotguns.

Tegbessou was the sixth King of Dahomey . He succeeded Agadja , and ruled from 1740 to 1774. Tegbessou s reign was characterized by internal intrigues and a failed foreign policy he killed many coup plotters and political enemies, refused to pay tribute to the Yoruba people Yoruba s, and lost many battles in the punitive raids that followed. His main symbol is a buffalo wearing a tunic. His other symbols are the blunderbuss, a weapon he gave his warriors the first time in Dahomey that the royal army had ready access to firearms and a door decorated with three noseless heads, a reference to his victory over a rebellious tributary people, the Zou people Benin Zou , whose corpses he mutilated. Proverb Once a buffalo is dressed it is very difficult to undress him. The buffalo is symbolic of the strength of the king. During the enthroning ceremony, Tegbessou s enemies put an herbal potion that would cause severe itching on the royal costume, so when he put it on he would have to remove it immediately. This would have led to an on the spot selection of a new king. Warned in time, Tegbessou took the necessary precautions and put the costume on, hence the dressed buffalo buffalo wearing a tunic . http www.kidstoafrika.org benin tapestries In the early 18th century, Kings of Dahomey known today as Benin became big players in the History of slavery slave trade , waging a bitter war on their neighbours, resulting in the capture of 10,000, including another important slave trader, the King of Whydah.

Robert Charnock or Chernock c. 1663 18 March 1696 was an English academic and Jacobitism Jacobite conspirator. Life He belonged to a Warwickshire family, and was educated at Adams Grammar School and Magdalen College, Oxford , becoming a fellow of his college and a Roman Catholic priest . When in 1687 the dispute arose between James II of England and the fellows of Magdalen over the election of a president, Charnock favoured the first royal nominee, Anthony Farmer , and also the succeeding one, Samuel Parker English bishop Samuel Parker , bishop of Oxford. Almost alone among the fellows he was not driven out in November 1687, and he became dean and then vice president of the college under the new regime, but was expelled in October 1688. Residing at the court of the Stuarts in France, or conspiring in England, Charnock and Sir George Barclay appear to have arranged the details of the unsuccessful attempt to kill William III of England William III near Turnham Green in February 1696. It was Charnock whom the Jacobites deputed to go see King James and ask for 10,000 French troops. This was refused as the troops were needed by the French on account of tensions with William III of England William III in the Low Countries. Barclay escaped, but Charnock was arrested, tried and found guilty, and hanged. The Tower of London Armoury in the White Tower has a blunderbuss labelled as belonging to Robert Charnock with which he intended to shoot King William III.

Batchelder was a truckman employed by the Marshals, and assigned to stand guard at the Boston Court House, where Anthony Burns , an escaped Slavery in the United States slave captured by slave hunters, was imprisoned. President Franklin Pierce was determined to turn over an escaped slave from Boston a center of abolitionism abolitionist activity in order to show Southern politicians that Northern states would enforce the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 Fugitive Slave Act , a key provision of the Compromise of 1850 . On the night of May 26, 1854, a crowd of black and white Bostonians, planning to rescue Burns, tried to force the doors of the Court House with axes, and a long plank used as a battering ram . There was a confused struggle as the crowd was turned back by the guards at the Court House. Gunfire broke out between the guards and the crowd. James Batchelder was mortally wounded by a blade of some kind. Accounts vary as to whether he was stabbed more than once. In one account, Batchelder was killed by a blunderbuss . The marshals physically blocked the crowd from forcing their way into the Court House, until Boston police and a military patrol arrived to disperse the crowd and make arrests. Burns was ultimately forced back into slavery in Virginia , with Pierce deploying federal artillery and United States Marine Corps United States Marines to ensure the enforcement of the law.
