In Britain that holiday was 'Guy Fawkes' Day,' but New Englanders called it Pope's Day or 'Pope-Night'"; in the 18th century, Bostonian "5th of November processions became closely linked to the town's protests against Parliamentary taxes." Includes background about Guy Fawkes' Day, Boston celebrations, and the end of a tradition. From the Bostonian Society.
