Benjamin Bernay's Military Structure

Benjamin Franklin was one of the most successful founding fathers of our nation and helped establish American independence from Great Britain. He was a key member in the development of the political backbone that has shaped this country into what it is today. Benjamin Franklin was one of the most humble and inspirational figures of that time. He was a major factor in the outcome of the war of Independence and in his selfless actions of leaving his family, won the help from the French to assist America in the fight against England. Although Benjamin Franklin never made it to be president he was a leader among his peers. He invented many things that we still use today such as the library, bifocals, and the postal service. He helped

Benjamin Oliver Davis Jr. was born in Washington. D.C. on December 18, 1912, the son of Benjamin O. Davis, Sr. and Elnora Dickerson Davis. His father was a renowned military officer, the first Black General in the United States Army. Benjamin, Sr. served in various capacities (beginning in the Spanish-American war) including serving in one of the original Buffalo Soldier regiments. He was instead assigned to the 24th Infantry Regiment, an all-Black division located in Fort Benning, Georgia. Although an officer, he was not permitted to enter the officer's club on the base. After attending the U.S. Army Infantry School, he followed in his father’s footsteps and traveled to Tuskegee, Alabama to teach a military tactics course at the Tuskegee

Brigadier General Benjamin McCulloch was born to Frances F McCulloch, the daughter of an esteemed Virginian Planter mother, and Alexander McCulloch, a Major of the staff of Brig. Gen. John Coffee. His father was also an attendant and graduate of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. He was born on November 11, 1811. He was the fourth child of a once prestigious family that had lost a large amount of money because of the Revolutionary War. While this was one factor, the father, Alexander McCulloch, was a large part of the problem. He was irresponsible when deciding on what to do with his inherited fortune and in return cost his family many luxuries that they could have had. While young, McCulloch and his family moved often between Tennessee, Alabama, and North Carolina. Their last place of settlement was in a town in Tennessee called Dyersburg. Here he had met David Crocket who acted as one of his close mutual friends, and thus his career began.

The final and most important person that made history in the French and Indian war was none other than James Wolfe. James was the colonel of the British army during the war (3). During Georges Journey to the French fort, James helped George along the way. George learned many strategies and skills from James. At one of those times James even saved Georges life (4). During the war he grew tired and had planned a risk strategy to attack the western part of the city and win (4). In taking the plan in action they succeeded and won the Seven years’ war. Unfortunately he had died in the battle field when he was injured in his chest and wrist (4). He was a terrible loss for the British side but was a gain in American and British history.

The decision to pass the Military Service Act of 1914 by Sir Robert Borden’s Conservative Government was undemocratic and split Canada between the English and the French speaking, and the rural and city Canadians. In December 1914, Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden told Canadians that “there has not been, there will not be, compulsion or conscription.” By agreeing to conscription at the Imperial War Conference in England, he not only went back on his word, but also decided without considering that many Canadians opposed conscription. This was insensitive and as a result, there were numerous protests. Farmers across Canada, who needed their sons to help on the field, held a large protest in Ottawa in the June of 1918. Likewise, French Canadians

In 1775, the United States established their first Continental Army. In 1787, after the defeat of the British in the Revolutionary war, the Constitution we know today was rewritten and a new form of military arose in 1789. One would think a lot of change would happen within 200 years, but between then and 2010, all derivative branches were pretty much stuck in the same way; they didn’t allow women into all positions, they don’t have a national armed-forces day, and they didn’t have… openly gay people?

Every four years when a president is elected into office, no matter the country, it is vital that the running is fair and follows the rules set out by the country. However, when writing about such a topic it is also important to view all sides of the potential argument and provide evidence that both discredits the opposing view and supports the point the author is attempting to prove. This allows the reader to know that every possibility has been researched and both sides have been viewed, but that the author is correct when stating their stance on the matter.

He retired from the military after world war

On the morning of April 19, 1775, about 700 British troops arrived in the town of Lexington from Boston on their march to Concord; seventy-seven American militiamen met them on the town’s green. A British Army officer yelled to the militiamen to “Throw down your arms! Ye villains, ye rebels!” (Fighting Breaks Out, n.d.). An officer within the militia ranks gave the order for the militia to disperse. A single musket shot rang out from an unknown source shortly after the militia began to leave the field. The British unit then fired several volleys at the American militiamen. Eight American militiamen were dead, and nine lay wounded when the engagement was over. The British suffered one

This semester in military history we talked about several different topics that are very pertinent to the shaping’s of today’s military. They are mainly important whether the individual serve in the United States Army, United States Air Forces, United States Navy, or United States Marine Corps. History is the study of the past. Studying may not be interesting to some, but if you do not understand your history, you will be liable to repeating some of the same mistakes made in the past. So it is very important to try and understand a little about the world we live in today.
