Historyofmassacustes.org states, “According to the book, The Revolutionary War, many nurses were originally camp followers: wives, daughters and mothers of male soldiers who followed the army looking for food and protection because they were no longer able to support themselves after the men left for war.” “According to the book, It’s Our Military Too! Women and the U.S. Military, female nurses often came up with new inventions to help treat and care for patients.” The women who were secret soldiers dressed as men and appeared as men by altering their physical attributes, cutting their hair, binding their breasts, and changing their names. ]]> 2021-03-15 17:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nora_chase/z58f1n2j5sampxao/wish/1311965624 nora_chase https://padlet.com/nora_chase/z58f1n2j5sampxao/wish/1311966123

He wasn't alone: Most southern slave owners found the idea of training and arming slaves and thereby abetting a possible slave rebellion far more terrifying than the British.” He later removed it because they needed every man to fight.]]> 2021-03-15 17:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nora_chase/z58f1n2j5sampxao/wish/1311984299 nora_chase https://padlet.com/nora_chase/z58f1n2j5sampxao/wish/1311994646 Deborah Sampson was a freed indentured servant and a secret soldier. She enlisted in the Fourth Massachusetts Regiment under the pseudonym Robert Shurtliff (that the name of her dead brother). Although she was injured on several occasions Deborah refused medical treatment. In 1782 after she enlisted she was injured in New York in the thigh and the head. She let the doctors treat her head wound; then snuck out of the tent and treated her thigh. She was able to remove one bullet with a penknife and a sewing needle. The other bullet was in too far; her leg never healed. Her identity was revealed in 1783 in Philadelphia when she contracted a fever. By the time she died, she had been collecting small pensions, for her service from Massachusetts and the federal government. A statue now stands in her honour in front of the public library in Sharon, Massachusetts, where she got married and lived out the rest of her life.]]> 2021-03-15 17:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nora_chase/z58f1n2j5sampxao/wish/1311994646 sbellatabor https://padlet.com/nora_chase/z58f1n2j5sampxao/wish/1312164902 The British offered the African-Americans freedom if they won the war
