Amerikan Devrimi’nin ortas\u0131nda, General George Washington’un K\u0131ta Ordusu, \u0130ngilizlere kar\u015f\u0131 sava\u015flar\u0131nda hayati \u00f6nem ta\u015f\u0131yan cephaneleri olan barut konusunda ciddi bir k\u0131tl\u0131kla kar\u015f\u0131 kar\u015f\u0131ya kald\u0131. \u0130ngiliz kuvvetleri onlar\u0131 Boston’da ku\u015fatt\u0131\u011f\u0131nda, erzaklar\u0131 asker ba\u015f\u0131na sadece dokuz mermiye d\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc.<\/p>\n\n
Yeni i\u015f f\u0131rsatlar\u0131 bulmak isteyen Bermudal\u0131 bir t\u00fcccar olan Henry Tucker devreye girdi. Kongre’nin topland\u0131\u011f\u0131 Philadelphia’ya gitti ve Kongre’nin \u0130ngiliz kolonilerine uygulad\u0131\u011f\u0131 ambargo muafiyeti istedi. Tucker, Bermuda’n\u0131n Amerikan g\u0131da ithalat\u0131na \u00e7ok ba\u011f\u0131ml\u0131 oldu\u011funu ve ticaretin her iki tarafa da fayda sa\u011flayaca\u011f\u0131n\u0131 savundu.<\/p>\n\n
Tucker’\u0131n o\u011fullar\u0131 bir s\u0131r ortaya \u00e7\u0131kard\u0131: Bermuda’n\u0131n ana kasabas\u0131 St. George’s’un hemen kuzeyinde, \u00f6nemli miktarda barut i\u00e7eren korunmas\u0131z bir depo. Franklin, Tucker barut ticareti i\u00e7in getirirse Bermuda’n\u0131n ambargo muafiyetini pazarl\u0131k edebilece\u011fini fark etti.<\/p>\n\n
14 A\u011fustos 1775 gecesi Tucker ve sad\u0131k komplocular\u0131 barut deposuna s\u0131zd\u0131. Bir hava deli\u011finden i\u00e7eri girdiler ve varsa bile tek bir gardiyan\u0131 etkisiz hale getirdiler. \u0130\u00e7eride, toplam 3.150 pound a\u011f\u0131rl\u0131\u011f\u0131nda, 126 f\u0131\u00e7\u0131l\u0131k barut \u00e7\u0131kard\u0131lar; bu miktar Washington’un cephane ihtiyac\u0131n\u0131 d\u00f6rt kat\u0131na \u00e7\u0131karmaya yetiyordu.<\/p>\n\n
Komplocular, barutu sessizce ta\u015f\u0131ma ve halk\u0131 uyand\u0131rmama gibi bir zorlukla kar\u015f\u0131 kar\u015f\u0131ya kald\u0131lar. Anlat\u0131mlar farkl\u0131l\u0131k g\u00f6steriyor ancak f\u0131\u00e7\u0131lar\u0131n\u0131 bir yoku\u015f yukar\u0131 ve a\u015fa\u011f\u0131 Tobacco Bay’e ta\u015f\u0131d\u0131klar\u0131na inan\u0131l\u0131yor; burada Amerikan gemisi Lady Catherine onlar\u0131 bekliyordu.<\/p>\n\n
Tac’a sad\u0131k ancak Amerikal\u0131 yanl\u0131s\u0131 Tucker’larla akraba olan Vali George James Bruere, h\u0131rs\u0131zl\u0131ktan dolay\u0131 \u00f6fkelendi. Lady Catherine’i kovalamak \u00fczere bir g\u00fcmr\u00fck gemisi g\u00f6nderdi ancak gemi ba\u015far\u0131s\u0131z oldu ve Bruere’i k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcrd\u00fc. Bask\u0131n nedeniyle kimse mahkum edilmedi ve Bermuda, Amerikan kolonileriyle ticaretine y\u0131llarca devam etti.<\/p>\n\n
Bermuda’dan gelen barut, Boston’a Washington’un kuvvetlerini desteklemek i\u00e7in tam zaman\u0131nda ula\u015ft\u0131. Ku\u015fatmalar\u0131n\u0131 s\u00fcrd\u00fcremeyen \u0130ngilizler, \u015fehri Mart 1776’da tahliye etti. Bermuda barut tedariki kampanyan\u0131n sonuna kadar ve Haziran ay\u0131na kadar s\u00fcrd\u00fc; bu ayda Charleston’\u0131 ba\u015far\u0131yla \u0130ngiliz i\u015fgalinden korumak i\u00e7in kullan\u0131ld\u0131. Bu zafer, \u0130ngilizlerin Amerikan isyan\u0131n\u0131 bast\u0131rmas\u0131n\u0131 \u00f6nlemede \u00e7ok \u00f6nemliydi.<\/p>\n\n
Bermuda Bask\u0131n\u0131, Amerikal\u0131 devrimcilerin yarat\u0131c\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131n ve kararl\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131n bir kan\u0131t\u0131 olarak duruyor. Ayn\u0131 zamanda Bermuda gibi beklenmedik m\u00fcttefiklerin ba\u011f\u0131ms\u0131zl\u0131k m\u00fccadelesindeki rol\u00fcn\u00fc de vurguluyor. Bug\u00fcn, Tucker’\u0131n Bermuda’daki evi bir m\u00fczedir ve bu ada \u00fclkesi Amerika Birle\u015fik Devletleri i\u00e7in \u00f6nemli bir ortak olmaya devam etmektedir.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
