Continental Army

American Revolutionary War, the Continental Army had little to no artillery of their own. It was not until May 10th, 1775, when Benedict Arnold joined Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys to attack Fort Ticonderoga. The attack was small, surprising the British garrison while they slept. This was the also first American victory of the Revolutionary War, which led to the Continental Army to acquire much needed artillery that would eventually help in the Continental Army’s ability to manufacture

The question I was given to write an essay about was “Would you have quit or re-enlisted in the American Continental Army?” My response is that I would have re-enlisted. My reasoning behind this is that I would like to have said I played a part in helping America become independent. Also, I just could not have sat around and supported England when I did not. I also believe in fighting in something you believe in. Some facts that help support my case would be that many people gave hope to the Americans

The Continental Army was the USA's Army during the Revolutionary War. It was formed on June 14, 1775 by the Second Continental Congress. George Washington was the general of the army. It consisted of about 22,000 troops. 9000 of those troops were slaves. That number is kind of high, right? It’s because the Continental Army said that they could be free if they fought for them, but few slaves were actually freed. The British freed all of the slaves that fought on their side, despite the fact that they

trained British soldiers with 30,000 German mercenaries known as Hessian's fought at the height of the war, while the Continental Army had 80,000 soldiers at the height of the war. Most of the Battles the Continental Army fought they were greatly outnumbered, but in some cases, they still managed to win because of their advanced weapons and superior tactics. The Continental Army invented new weapons. One of the guns they used were american made muskets. These guns were made by gunsmiths living in

British victories in New York and New Jersey in 1776 were significant defeats for the Continental Army and the American Cause and should have all but ended the war. However, behind General Washington’s resolve and strategic planning a victory near the end of 1776 changed the state of the war eventually leading to American independence. Three key points played a significant factor in Washington’s and the Continental Army success: (1) Washington’s ability to orchestrate a retreat without British knowledge

Would you have quit or re-enlisted in the American Continental Army? Although there were times where the soldiers would freeze in their huts and starve due to lack of supplies (Document C), if I were a solider in the American Continental Army I would have re-enlisted. Deciding this decision as of right now was hard, so for the soldiers that did choose to quit actually during the revolution, I completely understand because there were hard times (Valley Forge Mini- Q).I would have re-enlisted because

The Continental Army, under the command of General Washington, had followed the British forces to an area located in Freehold, NJ. General Washington’s use of IPB played out on multiple fronts during the pre-battle phase. In one aspect, General Washington directed forces under the command of Major General Charles Lee to harass the British rear guard. This started June 18, 1778, as the British forces exited Philadelphia with 12,000 personnel and 12 mile baggage train (Stryker, 1927). The baggage

challenges facing the continental army during the War for Independence. Even though they lacked organization, supplies, and well trained soldiers, the continental army came out in the end, defeating one of the greatest armies in the world, the British. The continental army’s commitment, drive for freedom, and leadership is what held them together, to gain their freedom from Great Britain. One of the biggest challenges the continental army faced was their lack of organization. The army was full of regular

General George Washington and his continental army, but the road ahead of Washington and his men was not an unproblematic one. The winter at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania proved this to Washington and his men. Yet the true American ideal of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were never forgotten in their battle. General George Washington gained command of the continental army in July 3, 1775 from the directions of General Artemus Ward who said, “The Continental Congress having now taken all the
