TX421 was a retired Clone trooper, who fought in the Clone Wars, before the execution of the Order 66 and the decline of The Republic. Soon after The Republic’s fall, he made a vow to never join the Galactic Empire. Years later, he changed his name to Pierce and became a merchant in the desert planet of Tatooine. Han Solo was persuading Pierce to join the Rebellion. During their secret reunion, Han told Pierce that he needed to infiltrate the Empire as a Rebellion spy. However, Pierce told him that he’d never join the Empire because of his vow. After many days of consideration, Pierce told Han that he’ll become a trooper only if he can execute the attack they were planning on their encounter. Solo replied: “Fine, but you’re on your own in …show more content…
His functions were to escort resources convoys to the base and patrol for intruders. During a routine patrol, he and his partner Borhan heard on the radio that their superiors were requesting for Pierce. Borhan told him that he could patrol on his own for this time. Pierce then rushed with his speeder bike, heading for the base. After his arrival, the superior officer asked him: “What’s this?”, pointing at the notification device Pierce had for any rebel movements and actions on the galaxy. “Are you communicating with the rebels? ”, he asked again. Then Pierce replied: “It’s just to contact my family in Tatooine. They tell me how the droid parts trade is going. Because I’m the owner, I need to get updates regarding the business I started years ago.” Pierce’s superior believed him and left to the control room inside of the shield …show more content…
It was Borhan. When Pierce opened the door Borhan told him: “They need you to escort the supplies and ammo party from the landing zone.” “Roger that Borhan. I’ll go right away.” After he arrived he gave the intel to Solo and left to the base just in case any other scout was there waiting for instructions. A couple of minutes later, Pierce noticed the blaster attached to his speeder was missing, but he didn’t mind, because he had his gun. When Pierce reached the base, he heard a familiar voice saying: “Pierce, you traitor.” He realized it was Borhan. Then, he heard the voice screaming: “I know you are a rebel spy, I know that you’ve been selling intel to the rebels. What I don’t understand is why, because I contacted some of my friends in Tatooine and they said that they’ve never met your family. Strange, don't you think? Also, I was the one who took the blaster off your speeder. Now I’m going to kill you with it.” Pierce then heard a gunshot coming from nowhere and thought that he could make a run for the base door. He tried and ran as fast as he could, but then he just heard a louder gunshot and everything went

After he generalized where the camp was, he climbed a tree and took out his spy glass. He almost immediately saw Colonel Bonge Stoof because he was the one firing the gun. Luckily it turned out that he was only sighting the gun, not anything bad. Jeff took a look around and tried to find out how many people were there.

When he arrived he went immediately to Captain Parker. Captain Parker is the commander of the lexington company. So, they had to come up with a plan. Sylvanus Wood states that the british shot first. “ Fire!
Ever since the dawn of Republic, the American public grappled with the issue of the military draft. During the American Revolution, the Continental Army struggled to recruit men and enticed the potential soldiers with the lure of the free land or cash incentives. George Washington proposed to institute the draft, however, the Congress rejected his idea. The Civil War, the deadliest of the American armed conflicts, compelled the both warring sides to enact the conscription. The South instituted their draft in 1892, and the North followed with The Draft Act of 1863.
I think he was memorial warning John Hancock and Samuel Adams that the British are coming, and that could have saved lives if people wanted to flee Concord. Other than that though he really didn't do anything else to impact the war except join the Sons Liberty. Joined the Sons of Liberty in the 1960s, which their goal was to protect the colonists from British rule and paying too many taxes. Known for crossing the Charles River and rode to Lexington on April 18-19, 1775 to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were coming through on their way to Concord.
General Washington singled him out for his intellect (Willadsen, 2011). It is evident throughout his efforts that he possessed a keen intelligence that aided him in infiltrating the enemy’s ranks and in his ability to collect vital intelligence for the war effort (Braisted, 2015). He was a man of presence and character, showing resilience and a willingness to never quit. Despite illness and the knowledge he could be found out and executed at any time throughout the thirteen months he spent with the Loyalists, he continued his mission and frequently attempted escape until finally succeeding in September of 1782 (Braisted, 2015; Elder, 2003; Willadsen, 2011). He led others by confiding his secret to fellow Loyalist Solders and convincing them to defect with him to the Continentals.
He would have much rather not been included in the war. However, Jefferson Davis asked Lee if he would be a general for the Confederates. Wanting to remain true to his home state, Virginia, Robert E. Lee accepted the position. Though he did not want to take part in the war against his neighbors, he did what he felt needed to be done.
Lee tries to stir up a plan, but fails when one of his officers lost his copy of his orders. Rumor has it that Lee wanted to separate his troops in four groups and send them in separate directions. Later that day two Union officers found Lee’s plans that the Confederate soldier had lost and brought it to their General George B. McClellen. However McClellen did not attack right away, so in effect, that gave Lee an advantage to gather his troops.
General Samuel Lee was perhaps the most prominent. General Lee was perhaps more qualified military personal than Washington to lead the rebel’s army, he served in the British Army fighting in several wars including the Seven Years War. He came to America because he thought that he would be made a leader, however he was dismayed when he learned that he would be under George Washington’s orders. After the battle at Fort Washington, Lee has even less confidence in Washington and believes he should be the man that will lead the troops to victory. Colonel Joseph Reed writes a letter to General Lee, supporting his ideas of a change in leadership.
Lee was born in Stratford Hall, Virginia in the year 1807 to Henry “Light-horse Harry” Lee by his second wife, Anne Hill Carter Lee. From the day that he was born, Lee was a Virginia man. He loved to explore the vast lands around his father’s estate, work in the gardens near his home, and color his hands with the cool Virginia earth. His father once said, “Virginia is my country. Her will I obey, however lamentable the fate to which it may subject me” (Horn).
When Berkeley arrived, Nathaniel Bacon left with 200 of his men looking for a better place to hold a meeting. Berkeley then declared Nathaniel Bacon a rebel and issued a pardoning to Bacon's fleet if they went home and didn’t provoke conflict. Berkeley said that if Bacon did go home peacefully that he would have to give up his place in the council, but he was going to be given a just trial for his actions. However, Bacon refused to quit his fight. Instead, he attacked the village of some friendly Indians.
He continued to try to get other tribes to join the Confederacy but no other tribes joined in his lifetime. A couple more joined after he died
“The Draft,” as it is commonly referred to, was enacted in September of 1940. Even though the United States was not yet involved in World War II when the act was passed, President Roosevelt regarded it as a vital method of training American men for military service. By 1940, tensions between the United States and Germany were rising as the Nazis had invaded numerous European countries and the news of concentration camps was spreading. Throughout July of 1940, England was the next country to face Nazi aggression, as they faced attacks from the German airforce and navy. With fears that America would be the next country to face a German invasion, Roosevelt signed into law the Selective Training and Service Act, also proclaiming, “America stands

So he barred up his defenses, and waited in case of another attack. An attack that General Lee would not
