  • John Shy's Essay: The American Revolutionary War

    162 Words  | 1 Pages

    From elementary to high school, the American Revolutionary War, is a topic that is repeated in the classroom, but to my surprise there were a lot of details that I was never taught. John Shy explored the many different angles of the Revolution in his essay, “The American Revolution: The Military Conflict Considered as a Revolutionary War.” He provides analysis on the American Revolutionary War and breaks it down into three categories, military, social, political, as well as where they overlap. This essay caught my attention because of Shy’s explanation on the Revolution and its effects. He tried to explain questions that have been around for many years such as how did one of the greatest military powers in the world could have been defeated

    During the War for American Independence, 78 men were commissioned as general officers into the Continental Army by the Continental Congress. Many of these generals commanded troops with differing levels of competence and success. George Washington is typically seen as most important general, however throughout the war a number of his subordinates were able to distinguish themselves amongst their peers. One such general was Nathanael Greene. At the end of the Revolutionary War, Greene would become Washington’s most important subordinate, as demonstrated by Edward Lengel’s assessment of Greene as “the youngest and most capable of Washington’s generals.” Washington and Greene developed a strong, positive and close relationship between themselves. Greene began his life in the military after having been raised a Quaker. With limited access to literature and knowledge in his younger years, Greene became an avid reader which equipped him with the knowledge necessary to excel as a general during the war. Through his devoted study of military operations, firsthand experience and natural abilities as a soldier, Greene became an excellent military commander. He would become known for his successful southern campaign, during which, he loosened British control of the South and helped lead the war to its climax at Yorktown. Throughout the war, he was involved in a number high profile battles where he built a reputation of being an elite strategist who also understood unconventional warfare, logistics, and the importance of military-civil affairs and had a natural political/social acumen. The thesis of this paper is that Greene’s proven reputation of being a soldier, strategist and statesman would cause him to become the second greates...

    The children who volunteered were the “idle and deserted children who generally swarm in great cities, nurtured on vice and daring,” they thought they were going to Palestine but really they were being sold as slaves. Children are naive and very gullible, trusting in the words of the adults around them. They also believe that they have a grasp on their lives and control of the obstacles in life one discovers through experience when, in reality they have exactly the opposite. The young who fought in Dresden went off to war without knowing what to expect, much like the Children’s Crusade volunteers. Good fortune might have been one of the promises sworn in boot camp but what they received was the complete scythe of silence. Left behind, untagged and forgotten on the battleground, their bodies disintegrated into the earth leaving the young’s’ potentials undone.

    Some of the older boys from the nearby farms are joining up. I think if you want to fight you have to be at least fourteen, but my friend Tommy told me you could join as young as seven if you were a drummer boy. John and Timmy are seven and six, so I better not tell them that. Charlie and William and Tommy are all joining up together. Their fathers let them, since they’re all at least sixteen. I do hope they come home again. “You never know what could happen in a war,” Mother says. I believe her.

  • The Path to War in This Boy’s Life by Tobias Wolff

    It is hardly surprising that boys like Toby who dreamed of battle were unprepared for the reality of war, since the real problems of their parents’ generation were eclipsed by “nostalgic adulation” of myth-like heroes. In the words of Tobias Wolff, “I went into the army…. It seemed to me when I got there that this was where I had been going all along, and where I might still redeem myself. All I needed was a war. Careful what you pray for.” There may be times when war is necessary, but if we send soldiers into harm’s way, then ideally our youth should be under no illusions about what that means and that the repercussions are felt long after the fighting stops.

    1) Occurring from 1791-1804, the Haitian Revolution has often been described as the largest and most successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere. Slaves initiated the rebellion and by 1803 they had succeeded in ending not just slavery but French control over the colony of Saint Domingue as a whole. The French Revolution served to inspire a number of Haitian-born revolutionary movements to emerge simultaneously, standing behind ideals such as the French Revolution’s “Declaration of the Rights of Man”. Haiti thereby became the first black republic in the world and the second nation in the western hemisphere to win independence from a European power. Haiti’s revolution would serve as a powerful example for the possibility of a successful slave revolution in Latin America and the United States.

    There were monumental problems that occurred between American colonist and British government that led to the Revolutionary War. Colonist were convinced they were just in their cause for independence from England.

The French and Indian War, also known as The Seven Years War, lasted from 1754-1763. The war was fought largely in North America and was very expensive to Britain therefore they raised taxes on American colonies. This was not well-received by colonists which led to political disagreements and the Revolutionary War.

    In the world, there are about 300,000 children recruited as child soldiers (Hill 1). One-third of this number of children fight and serve for the government military or rebel groups in Africa (Hill 1). “According to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, child soldiers are defined as all children engaged in hostilities under age 18. Although they are under 18, the roles of children in armed conflict are not limited because of their young age. Some children fight on the front lines of combat. Others perform manual labor, such as digging trenches, working in the kitchen, or carrying food, ammunition, or other supplies, often for long distances. Still others, primarily female children and adolescents, are reduced to sexual servants for military and rebel leaders” (Hill 1).
