Summary:

During the Revolutionary War, enslaved African's were mislead into fighting for the British army, in which they were promise land but were instead given bad land that couldn't be used for much. They were also promised freedom, but the "freedom" ended up being another form of slavery. There were also Americans still hunting slaves in the colonies, so in order to bring less attention towards themselves, they changed their names, examples include British Freedom, Dick Freedom, and Jeffery Liberty. British Freedom had title to 40 acres, and another 1.5 that the lawyers' clerks in Halifax were pleased to call a "town lot".

Facts:

1. It surprised how even after all the effort the enslaved Africans put into the war, the British still had the audacity to give them almost no rewards.

2. Even after the "freedom" they were granted, they were still hunted down by white slave owners.

Perspective:

I think it's important to look at history from this perspective because we can see what enticed the slaves to side with the British, even though they didn't receive much. Even after their "freedom" they were still hunted down to work for slave owners.

During the Revolutionary War, George Washington played a crucial role in public health by introducing inoculation to protect people from smallpox. Smallpox was a deadly disease that caused more than guns or enemies during that time. Washington’s decision to undergo inoculation himself and have his family do the same demonstrated his trust in this method of prevention. This act highlighted his care for the well-being of his military personnel, their health over wartime duties. Overall, Washington’s initiative with inoculation showcased both leadership and compassion towards those under his command during challenging times like war.

Summary- In this reading, it says the Natives and English settlers were at war because of unfair taxes. the British gov tried to manage the relation ship between their colonist and Native Americans. The British were concerned about the violence so the two groups split. At the end people had to choose a side. At the end the British claimed territory over the East Mississippi and South of Canada. This choice was made without the Natives because they wanted to block off most to all white people settlement.

What surprised me - That the Natives weren't given an input to the land.

Why it's important to look at history from the natives view - They were angry because of land and conflict between them and the white settlers. This caused them to go to war the Natives still wanted the land they owned instead of fighting for it. The British didn't give them a choice because the Natives would've gone to war again when the British was trying to calm things down.

In the reading it says British Freedom had title to 40 acres, and another one and a half of what the lawyers’ clerks in Halifax were pleased to call a “town lot.” Enslaved people would fight in the war and in trade they got their freedom and the 40 acres of land. The land ended up being bad with the soil being thin and strewn with boulders. It surprised me that even after they fought in the war and helped they still got bad land. What also surprised me is that even after they got their freedom they still had to work for the white loyalists. I think it is important to look at history through this perspective because enslaved people were mislead into fighting for the British army, in return for land but they were instead given bad land. Also because even after they were given their freedom they still had to work for white people.

In the reading, it talks about the roles that young children played in the revolutionary. I think it is important to look at the roles they played through this perspective because it shows the impact young kids had on the war. Some interesting facts are the some kids were Drummers, messengers, bugler, and spies.

# data[].attributes.body
The reading talks about the kids who had to serve in the war, who were between 7 and 16 years old. with the jobs being drummers, recuriters, and militias.

One thing that suprised me was how young the kid who were serving, but the kid who got smallpox and lost his vision but got it back and serve

The reading states that German immigrants made up a good portion of the colonists in America, only surpassed by the British. They arrived mostly for religious freedom and thus became loyal Americans. They brought important ideas and technology such as Prussian military doctrine and printing.

A couple of the surprising things I learned were that these German immigrants were running the most reliable newspapers in Philadelphia which meant that they were able to be the first to announce the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

They were also the first to distribute copies of the declaration (in German).

These Germans played a vital role in hardening the Continental Army and America's news networks. Their culture mixed very will with that of America.

# data[].attributes.body
In this story it talked about the young boys whose ages ranged from (7-16) who had different jobs in the war from drumming, messenger, spy and many more. Some got sick and died or got taking by the British to later get released. At the young age of 10 years old they were already as men.

SUMMARY

German immigrants had to find everything out through newspapers because the lack of technology. They also were known for their books and make the first ever bible in America. Their military was also pretty powerful for them being in poverty with their disadvantages they had lots of victories.

One thing I found interesting about the article was that the first Bible in America was published in German by Christopher Saur. One more interesting fact is the German language was widely spoken in nearly every colonial city.

Because everyone has different sights on things and they are the main ones involved inside of the problem. It is also very important to put others people shoes on so you can feel for them and not mistreat them.

Summary

During the revolutionary war, women of many different backgrounds were recognized for their help during the revolutionary war and the roles they partook in.

Facts

1.) woman would disguise themselves as men so that they could fight in the revolutionary war

2.) woman would often follow their husband into war

It's important to be able to acknowledge women's rules through out the war because it allows us to understand the development and the struggles they were dealing with in that time period. It also shows the impact they had on the war and the country

The German Americans made up 1/3 of the population. They had a significant appearance in newspapers, publishing many that provided reliable information. German was spoken in nearly every colony and their culture was rather prominent. German Americans also had great significance in the Revolutionary War.

Two surprising things are that the Germans were the first to publish the Bible in America and Von Steuben's Prussian tactics were largely responsible for the later victories during the war.

This historical perspective is important because it allows other groups to take credit for their extraordinary deeds and limit their acts from being overshadowed by ours.

Summary: During the War of Independence a disease was more likely to kill a soldier than an actual bullet; that was due to medicine being very bad at that time. That's when commander George Washington came up with the idea of Inoculation. This proved to be a very important and good decision for his troops during the war; as it helped a lot with smallpox.

Fun Fact: In 1777, 100,000 people in North America died to smallpox.

Perspective: In my opinion this gave us a perspective on how poorly medicine was at the time, and the importance of improving medicine, and how it can help in thee future. Additionally on how much they used to neglect medicine and how much more they should prioritize it and spend money on it.

During the Revolutionary War, the enslaved Africans were promised freedom and land from the British in return for their support in the Late American war. The British mislead the soldiers with their promises. They gave them bad land; it was just like another form of slavery. Since the American colonists where still hunting the escaped slaves, they would usually change their names.

One thing that surprised me was that a belief back then was that it was the British monarchy rather than the new American republic that was more likely to deliver Africans from slavery.

I think it is important to look at history through this perspective because we get to see why the Enslaved people sided with Britain. We also get to see that even though they got new opportunities, they were not that fortunate with them.

Summary:

During the Revolutionary War, some women such as Abigail Adams and Phillis Wheatley stayed back home. Abigail Adams, the wife of John Adams, influenced the new form of government and said to include women in politics. Phillis Wheatley wrote poetry and became one of the first female authors to be published in America and the first African American woman to be published. Other women disguised themselves as men to fight in the armies of the civil war.

Surprised me:

One thing that surprised me when I read is that women pretended to be men to fight in the war and that women weren't treated as badly as I thought.

Perspective:

It is important to look at history from this perspective because we need to see how times change and how women are treated and act now. Although women can now fight in this war, I’m not sure many want to. Back then, women would do anything to try to fight in the war but now I'm not sure many want to.

The women followed their husbands in the army. They were known as "camp followers", and tended to the military. They cooked, cleaned, fixed clothes, and gave medical help. Sometimes, the women were thrown into battle. This passage is talking about the many different women and their experiences.

One interesting fact was that some women would disguise themselves as men to fight in the battle. the most notable one was Deborah Sampson

I think it is important to look at history through this perspective because it shows how different it was to the point of how women were caretakers, but some of them ended up fighting in the wars. It is also wild to think about putting myself in that situation, not only as a women but as a man in war too.

Summary:

During the American revolution, Irish immigrants supported Americans in their fight against the British. Ultimately though, they were not very important to any of the major developments. The Irish were very sympathetic to the Americans cause, as they were "the first colony" that the British took control over. After the events of the American revolution, the Irish were inspired to their own revolution against the British, this was their main effect on the fight against the British.

Interesting facts:

1) America got their independence by 1783 while Ireland did not get theirs until 1949.

2) The Anglican and Catholic church had large impacts on Ireland in the time before the American revolution to after the Irish revolution.

Why it is important:

I think it is important to look at history through the Irish Immigrants perspective because they are a good representation of how an important event, such as the American revolution, impacts others. The Irish Revolution was heavily inspired by the American Revolution, and likely would not have happened, at least not in the same way, if the Irish had not been involved in the American Revolution.

The Revolutionary War decided the fate of the Native Americans. They had a hard time choosing sides and the Cherokee tribe was split into two going to war for two different sides. Britan was good at convincing the Natives to work for them and this let them be ahead for most of the war.

1. Something that suprised me was that the Natives would split and go into two differnt groups instead of working toghether

2. I think it is important to look at history through this perspective because if you only paid attention to what one group of people said, the story would be flawed. For example, if you asked britan about why the Natives would work with them and then asked the Natives, they would proably say differnt reasons even though they might be close.

During the Revolutionary War, George Washington started to take action and help the public with their health when small pocks were an issue. He started doing inoculation to help protect the public. Small pocks were very feared because they killed more people than any other gun or person would. His family and wife also did inoculation which is surprising because it shows he trusted it enough to do it with his family. This is very interesting because it shows that he cared for his military and was willing to put them first, rather then making them work during a war.

interesting fact :Smallpox was one of the most feared diseases of the eighteenth century.

Inoculate(immunizing someone against the disease by introducing infective material into the body)was used to slow disease down. I think it's important to look at history through this perspective because he was advanced in his times for slowing it down from spreading as deadly -lizbeth

In the reading it says a lot about how the revolutionary war inspired the Irish. Both the the Americans and Irish didn't want to be controlled by Britain. The Irish also went to America in look for political independence.

Some things that surprised me were: The Irish had their own revolution which was kind of inspired by the American Revolution and, about 55000 protestant Irish went to America.

It's important to look at this through their perspective because it shows how one thing can effect multiple people and places in different ways. The American Revolution really did have an impact on the Irish and seeing how it even lead to their own revolution is important.

SUMMARY

During the Revolutionary War, women of all different ethnic backgrounds took part in this historical event. Women, such as Molly Pitcher and Deborah Sampson, took part in the war either to help fight along with them or disguise themselves as a man to be able to serve their country. In addition, women, such as Abigail Adams and Phillis Wheatley, remained away from battle and rather advocated for themselves and women. All of these women made profound contributions during the American Revolution.

FUN FACTS

1. One thing that surprised me was that Women followed their husbands in the Continental Army by being camp followers and tended towards the domestic side of an army organization.

2. Another thing that I found interesting was that several women were willing to risk their lives even if they had to disguise themselves as someone else.

IMPORTANT

I think it is important to be able to gain this perspective from women because the social status of women prior wasn’t in a good place. Through these profound historical moments, they were able to advocate for themselves.This is important for us, as readers, to learn about this because it shows the development of women throughout history and shows the impact they have for our country.

Smallpox was very feared and big GW tried inoculation on his wife, and found it worked very well. GW forced every new soldier that joined the continental army in Philadelphia to get inoculated. However, nearly 3-4,000 soldiers died because they didn't all get inoculated. Lil' Ben Frank & Big GW both thought the British were spreading Small pox to the Continental army. This shows how important disease prevention is, even 250 years ago and how everyone should get inoculated or more likely vaccinated against modern diseases.

Summary: In the reading it says the future of Native Americans was in the hands of the war. During the Revolutionary War ,the Native Americans had to pick a side-In which it was often difficult. The British has a place in power of persuading groups to be on their side, many groups of Native Americans were split.

-Something that was shocking was that these tribes considered choosing a different side, they went their own ways in split which took me by surprise.

-The reason why its so important to look at things from another point of view or learning their perspective is because there is so much sides to the story especially, if you are discussing a war-multiple sides and allies, much information to go around-much information that can be mislead. In history it's important to get all sides and how they were impacted because its the evidence of answers to questions we have now. In this case we wouldn't want to forget the impact and contributions that Native Americans had in the Revolutionary War.

In the reading it talks about the jobs children had in the war and the ages of all of them.

I think it is important to look at history through their perspective because children were a huge part of the war. They are forgotten Veterans as the article says, they’re contribution the to the war shouldn’t be forgotten.
