Analysis Of The Battle Of Bunker Hill

The Battle of Shiloh took place on April 6ththrough the 7th in 1862 in the southwestern Tennessee region. The Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston, commander of the confederate forces in the Western Theater wanted to defeat the Union Major General Grant’s army before it could be reinforced by Major General Don Carlos Buell’s Army of Ohio which was marching from Nashville. Confederate General Johnston ordered a surprise attack on Grant’s encampment which was located close to Shiloh Church. Johnston’s troops caught Grant’s men by surprise and deftly drove the Union soldiers back toward their defensive perimeter on the heights above Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee River. However, unfortunately for the Confederacy, Johnston was critically

As Donald N. Moran notes, the British light infantry was told, "On no account to fire, nor even attempt it without orders," by second-in-command Major John Pitcairn as he and his men marched to Lexington that morning. That is, at least, the report of Colonel Smith which was given to General Gage. General Gage himself seemed to have little interest in stirring the hornet's nest that was right outside his door. As military governor of Massachusetts,

As the British advanced in columns against the Americans in an effort to save the Americans limited supply of ammunition, it is said he ordered his men, “Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes!” When the Redcoats were within several dozen yards, the Americans let loose with a lethal barrage of musket fire, throwing the British into

The battles of Shiloh and Bunker Hill are two very important battles to always remember and never forget about. There are many reasons that they are important and why we talk about them until this day. These two battles are from different times in history. The battle of Bunker Hill is a battle from the Revolutionary War, and the Battle of Shiloh is from the Civil War. These battles were significant to America because there were so many casualties.

The American Revolution, when 13 American colonies waged war against the most powerful country in the world, Great Britain, for their independence. Soldiers who fought in the war and risked their lives to gain the freedom we have today, is just one of the many prime examples of prevailing hardships in battle. George Washington proved to be exemplary just like many others heroic patriots, like Henry Knox and Nathaniel Greene, when triumphing over the British soldiers with what little strength they had and defeating them. Their victory was more than enough proof on why they deserved independence. David McCullough’s 1776, describes and educates us about events which happened before the war and foreshadows up to the revolution. We learn about the hardships thrown at George Washington and the Continental army whose intentions switched from equal rights to complete emancipation. Battles throughout the Revolutionary War, like the Battle of Bunker Hill, are well known, but McCullough shows the reader how the Continental army continues to strive on even when victory is not in their favor.

For my battle analysis assignment, I have chosen to examine the battle of Shiloh. This battle began April 6 – 7 1862, in the Pittsburg Landing area of Tennessee. In Hebrew Shiloh, means “peace” nonetheless, this battlefield was far from a place of peace from April 6-7 1862. This battle was the bloodiest civil war battle to date and occurred between the Union and Confederate armies. Having analyzed the battle from multiple sources, I have discovered a number of operational, tactical, and logistical mistakes that contributed to the Confederate losses suffered. My sources include documentaries, historical videos, books, and articles from historians and civil war experts who have spent their lives studying and dissecting the civil war, its battles, commanders, and tactics. As part of my analysis, I will highlight the Confederate mistakes that could have produced a different outcome of this historical battle.

“At the Concord North Bridge, a small group of militia battled a force of Bristish soliders.” The commander of the British decided to retreat back to Lexington. While they were retreating

During the American Revolution many people contributed to the fight against the colonists. Among these people was Thomas Gage a British general.

Did you know that a bake sale raised money to build the Bunker Hill Monument, or that the battle of Bunker hill mostly took place on Breed’s Hill, but it was confused with Bunker Hill. The American Revolutionary war had many Battles one of the battles was the battle of Bunker/Breeds Hill. It was a battle like no other, there are many things one must know about the Battle. The different sides are one of the most important things about the battles and how they struggled through times, like when the british woke up to see a 6 foot wall, and how the Americans felt about their hard work. The Geography is super important, because the battle was on a hill and made the british walk up the very high hill so the Americans had an advantage. There were many important parts of the battle to, like when the American forces found out that the British wanted to take over hills, in Charlestown, Massachusetts.

The battle of Fort Necessity was Washington’s second military mission, where he was a Lieutenant Colonel and he went to take control of the Ohio Territory. Washington built a fort to prevent French from retaliating, but since the fort was poorly positioned near the woods, it allowed the French to attack them and Washington surrendered. This battle highlights that Washington was impulsive in his early days of his military career. Also, his ability to improve and learn from his mistakes would help him tremendously in the later years of his military career. In addition, when he was captured by the French he signed the French surrendering paper without realizing that he was taking responsibility for murdering a French officer. He never corrected

Taking place in 1775, at the start of the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Bunker Hill was a needed victory early in the war to get the soldiers to believe in themselves. Many soldiers in the beginning of the war did not believe that the lowly colonists could defeat and declare independence from a superpower; Britain. Although outnumbered and with little confidence, the continental army stood their ground at the Battle of Bunker Hill and proved that they could win the war.

It is our duty, as soon to be Second Lieutenants in the Army, to learn from history. Learning from mistakes in the past is necessary to understand the responsibilities we will soon have. The Battle of Gettysburg shows prime examples of the nine principles of war: Objective, Offensive, Mass, Economy of Force, Maneuver, Unity of Command, Security, Surprise and Simplicity. In the military today, we are overwhelmingly blessed with every asset that we have including technology and monetary resources the list could go on forever but the most invaluable asset is history. Although all nine principles of war are pertinent to success on the battlefield, only five will be discussed in this analysis.
