Soldier Essay

Dear Mom,

I am writing you this letter to inform you how I have been doing in the army. We have been on the run from the British for a while now and now we have just got done with a battle and this was the first big win for us. We do run a lot away from the British but I love the feeling I get when we have a victory for us. It reminds me why I joined the army in the first place to help our country so we can be independent. It has been rough the last year but it is getting better as we win. There is not much food here so we are not getting any healthier but we are able to get enough food to survive.
I have not liked how Washington is just running away from the British. We need to stand up for ourselves and take control of the war. In my last month of service we had one of the greatest wars in this revolution because it was a victory and it showed all of the troops that we can do this and we can win this war. Even tho Washington has not treated us well yet I still believe in him to do the right thing in this war and I'm glad to be one of his soldiers.
I have changed my mind about the revolution in the last month after our victory. I've wanted to give up on the war and just come home. All we did is run away almost all the time and that just gives the British more confidence. Once we got that victory I can see that the revolution is changing and I still want to serve for my colony. I am going to re-enlist this spring. I want to continue fighting because I believe we can win this war.

Love your son,
Private, Justin Wilson

Propoganda Commen Sense

The colonies should have the rights to rebel against Britain because Britain is trying to take away what they have established and make it part of Britain. They have taken their rights away from them as human beings. They are taking away their land, coming into there homes, and they are taking away all the things that the colonist believed in and taking over there governments. They colonists came here to set up a government of there own and to have land of their own and they shouldn't have to just give all of that up because of the British.
The British have come to the colonies to take over there property and they government. They will come into your home and kick you out onto the streets because they are a more powerful group of people and the believe colonists do not have enough support from other colonies to fight them off. They have tried taking over there government but did not succeed right away like the other things they have taken over but if the colonists do not do something then the British will take that over too.
I think the future of America can be a good future if the colonist will stand up to the British and fight for what they believe in. They should not just sit around while the British come into their homes and make them leave. They should be the ones that are making the British go back to there own country and if they have to fight them off i believe they should have the right to do anything necessary to have what they want and keep their own colonies.

Boston Massacre

The night of the Boston massacre there were British soldiers in the streets of Boston and also there were several colonists. They colonist were taunting the soldiers and yelling "fire i dare you to fire!". There was a shot fired eventually but no one knew who or where the shot came from. A battle erupted from this one shot that was fired and eventually the soldiers were being arrested and on trial for this massacre. There were a not that many deaths in this massacre but they were deaths that did not need to happen.

I think that the colonists were to blame for this riot that broke out. They were the ones yelling fire and that can easily be mistaken for the captains order to fire. I think that if they were not yelling at the soldiers or yelling fire then no shots would have been fired by the British soldiers even if they were no the ones who did fire the first shot. If they don't have the proof that they shot first they should go by what would make them shoot and that is the colonists.

I don't think that the soldiers should be responsible for the shot because they do not know who shot the bullet or where it even came from. I think that who ever took the next action after that that lead to the massacre should be the ones who are killed or in jail.

Robert Morris

Robert Morris was born on January 20th, 1734 in lancashire England. The state that he represented was Pennsylvania. He first attended school when he was 10 at a school in Philadelphia. In 1748 he became a merchant in Philadelphia. 10 years later he became a member of the continental congress and was also one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. But before he signed this piece of paper he protested it first but eventually signed. Morris had loaned 10,000 dollars of his own money to go towards funds for the war. He made plans for a National bank and submitted it to congress and it later became the Bank of North America.

Following the war he served in the Pennsylvania Legislature. He died in 1806 at the age of 73.

Robert Morris helped finance a lot of things for the war. He helped pay Washington's troops and help with supplies. Before the war there was a stamp act which Morris was one of the several people who protested this act. He created a bank for the colonies so they could support their troops and keep the war going. Morris was one of the biggest reasons we still had troops fighting for the colony's. If he did not donate money to support the troops then the war would have been over and Britain would control what now is the United States of America.

Robert Morris was part of the revolutionary war for financial reasons. He wanted to help support the troops in the war because he was part of the Philadelphia government. He wanted to be a part of this war because they were the ones who set up the colony's and did not want what they made just taken away. He did not like the way England was treating them because they tried to take things they had no part in. This is why he supported the colony's. He had a great part in this war.

Robert Morris deserves a lot more credit because with out him most of Washington's troops would have quit because they would not have been paid. He is a signer of the Declaration of Independence, he supplied military supplies for the troops to help fight. He was also the person to come up with the idea for a bank. These are reasons that Robert Morris should have more recognition and for many other reasons.
