George Washington he had been a slave owner he had not let any slaves in the army at first then the slaves had been given freedom and there was a need for many slaves so then in Rhode island as well as Connecticut there had been whites and blacks together in the army together. So they were just in the army just so they can take the place of there owners because they didn’t want to go to war. And the military had helped the people have a political view in the very early stage of the military. During this time they didn’t want to have to be with the black slaves so they would separate them from the white men. There was about 5,000 of the black men who had been in the army which was on the rebel side, and mostly all of them were from the northern states. If there was any people that didn’t want to be in the war they would be called traitors because they didn’t want to serve for there country that needed help.

Thomas Hutchinson (9 September 1711 – 3 June 1780) was a businessman, historian, and a prominent Loyalist politician of the Province of Massachusetts Bay in the years before the American Revolution. A successful merchant and politician, Hutchinson was active at high levels of the Massachusetts government for many years, serving as lieutenant governor and then governor from 1758 to 1774.

Asia Fraker Mr. Rollins History 10 In this paper the focus of this paper will be Thomas Gage and what happened in his life. I will be going over the impact his life had on the Revolutionary war and what difference he made. Let’s get into a brief introduction of who he has, what he did, and why it mattered or had such a big out come on the revolutionary war.
I found his passage the most surprising due to his being "both the most American and the least American of the revolutionary leaders (p.68). " It seems shocking that someone who is known as one of the very founders of our nation was actually very much a loyalist to his British roots much of the time and already world-renowned for his accomplishments in science philosophy. It was only because of his miscalculations during the imperial crisis, where his good intentions actually worked against him and brought him disgrace with the British, that he did a total turn around and became all in where America was concerned. It's interesting to think that had his intentions been interpreted as he had intended, he may very well have not become a founding father or our nation's great diplomat at
During the Boston Massacre five civilians were killed and six injured. Despite his unkindness towards the British Government he believed that the British soldiers should receive a fair trial.

Being the English-American political activist, philosopher, and revolutionary he was; he was an influence to many and an outgoing character. From his writings to his actions; he played an important role towards America's independence and development.

A note on black soldiers. Washington's letter was written in early 1776 and was meant to stop recruitment of blacks at the time. It did not kick any Blacks currently serving out. However later in the war, immediately prior to the main fighting in the south, an entire regiment of Blacks served in Newport, RI and reportedly saved John Sullivan's retreating army.
He was a previous slave trade and eventually became a very important figure of history when he served his presidency of the Continental Congress. By him having a presidency, many people know him and respected him, which helped his credibility while working with writing the Articles. Along with Laurens, John Dickinson, who was a “slave-holding lawyer” and Thomas Burke, a delegate from North Carolina were both important factors to the creation of the
Before this war, the reason that most people didn’t want to go to war with Britain was because they were in a war already. They were in a war against France. The French were being led by Napoleon Bonaparte. So when the U.S. finally declared war on Britain, they were being attacked on both sides from the U.S. and
A passionate politician, he advocated for war with Great Britain shortly after the inception of the United States. He was the chairman on the committees that passed bills supporting roads, permanent roads, and a strong army and navy.

On January 10, 1776 (during the American Revolution) Thomas Paine published a pamphlet titled “Common Sense”.

By the end of the war, the loyalty that the Colonies had to England was gone. Before the war the Colonist would 've done anything for Britain and would fight till the death for them.

In Document C, George Washington wrote a letter to Robert Orme showing his dying love to be in service for General Braddock and the British empire quoting, “ believing a more favourable opportunity cannot offer, than to serve under a Gentleman of General Braddock’s abilities and experience”. Serving for British could have one of the most honorable thing that the Colonist could have done.
