This paper will examine the British and American Southern Loyalist defeat in the Battle of Kings Mountain and discuss the assumptions the British made including loyalist support, logistic support, and terrain advantage.

In this letter, he disapproved of the reduction of his royal powers and personal wealth, which affected his lifestyle and authority. He denounced the Revolution, National Assembly, and its constitution. Copies of the letter circulated in public and revealed to people that “Louis had lied to the French” when he swore an oath “before God and the nation to uphold the constitution” (102). Not only did he leave behind his people but his flight would have led to a civil war between revolutionaries and loyalists aided by foreigners. On top of that, deputies of the National Assembly dealt with the aftermath of a missing king: paranoid Parisians suspecting a conspiracy, people storming the palace, and palace servants being accused of treason. This added to the “profound sense of desertion and betrayal” by a king that people saw as a “good father” (222). Out of disgust, they denounced Louis: calling him all sorts of names, took down portraits of him, and covered “in black the word royal” on signs, buildings, and other public places (110). The “myth of the kingship had been shattered” because nobody knew what to do with Louis at this time (104, 108). Some wanted exile or imprisonment whereas others suggested reinstating him as only a figurehead, and some thought about a “republic without a king” (108). Either way, they no longer

Lamartine over-estimated the power of the Capital and how inactive France was. Walter liked to believe it was how blunt Lamartine was and how he was partly sneaking around with the enemy that saved the country, while it ruined Lamartine. The members of the mountain, who were detained in the government separated themselves from the socialists. Walter writes that Blanqui came in and demanded an army to departure to Poland, removal of the troops in Paris, and refused the beating to arms. Blanqui also warned that if none of this was to happen, any non-conformers would be treated as traitors. The National Assembly was so obsessed with this thought that “one might have said that it read civil war on the four walls of the house…” For the first time in 60 years, the provinces grew resistant to Paris and entertained the idea of revolt. The republic became more hateful as more issues presented themselves including the dread of socialism and universal war. This hatred showed itself in the secrecy of the ballet. In general, the men who represented Monarchy were elected. It was at that moment, Walter says, the name Louis Napoleon was

The marquis pursued his ambitions and left his home in secrecy even after his father-in-law, the Duc de Noailles, forbid him to leave France. Lafayette’s strong will and excitement to be in charge of an army was too much to hold back. He left his young, pregnant wife with nothing but a letter saying good-bye. Unfortunately, it would be years before he would make his way back to his homeland again.

This battle lasted from May 8th, 1864, until May 21st, 1864. This battle was fought between the army of Ohio, the Army of Potomac, and the army of Virginia. The Army of Ohio and the Army Potomac were teamed up as the Union while fighting against Virginia, the Confederates. The generals were: Ulysses Grant, George Meade, and Robert Lee. This battle was held in Spotsylvania County, Virginia.

Upon arriving to Malvern Hill, the Confederates had a lack of information, affecting their understanding of the contour of the land. This greatly affected their use of artillery movement and emplacement, causing the Confederate artillery to be ineffective. This was caused by the swamps, not allowing the caissons to maneuver through (Hill M. , 2012). Because of this obstacle, the Confederate had to push their reserve artillery pieces down Willis Church Road, causing them to be exposed to the open field, which they were then bombarded by Union artillery fire (Krick, 2014). The Union had the advantage over the

The revolution developed rapidly in the months May to October 1789, sparked by the King’s refusal to put forward a programme of reform in order to satisfy the Third Estate during the meeting of the Estates General on the 5th May 1789. Consequently, the Third Estate assembled in order to take the Tennis Court Oath agreeing not to disperse until France had a Constitution. Fearing his position was being threatened by the radical Third Estate, Louis contemplated using military force and ordered the stationing of 20000 troops round Paris in preparation to dissolve the National Assembly by force if necessary. On the 11th July 1789, Louis made the mistake of dismissing Jacques Necker, who was not only popular with the Third Estate but

The Battle of Poison Spring was fought in Ouachita County, Arkansas as part of the Camden Expedition, during the American Civil War. The battle is infamous for the Confederates' hatred of black U.S. soldiers of the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry. This is one of the bloodiest battles to take place in Arkansas.

The Battles of Saratoga was the turning point of the Revolutionary War. The victory is made clear by a few things: On October 17, 1777, about 6,000 British and Hessian troops surrendered. General John Burgoyne had lost about 90 percent of his force that had victoriously marched into New York from Canada during summer in 1777. The divide-and-conquer strategy that Burgoyne presented to British ministers in London was to invade America from Canada by traveling down the Hudson Valley to Albany. There, he would be joined by other British troops under the command of Sir William Howe. Howe would be bringing his troops north from New Jersey and New York City. Burgoyne believed that this bold stroke would not only isolate New

Once the Battle of Mystic Fort was over, the English and the natives were very short in supplies and ammunition. Tired and exhausted, they set up Camp just south of the Mystic fort. They had plans to meet the English ships in the Pequot River in order to get their wounded men back to Safety in Saybrook Fort. However, not long after they establish this camp, more than a hundred Pequot Warriors from close by villages attacked the English forces that were still waiting on Pequot Hill. A small group of Narragansett Warriors soon fled the area of battle, they had plans to head for the Mystic River back to the safety of their Narragansett territory because they knew the English were very low on ammunition and thought that they would soon be unable

After the French monarchy was overthrown on August 10, 1792, Napoleon decided to make his move up in the ranks. After this, Napoleon started becoming a recognized officer. In 1792, Napoleon was prompted to the rank of captain. In 1793, he was chosen to direct the artillery against the siege in Toulon. He seized ground where he could get his guns in range of the British ships. Soon after Toulon fell, Napoleon was promoted to the rank of brigadier general. In 1795, he saved the revolutionary government by controlling a group of rioting citizens by using a famous technique of his. He loaded a bunch of pellets into a cannon and fired it at the crowd. Napoleon was made commander of the French army in Italy. He defeated four Austrian generals in succession, and each army he fought got bigger and bigger. This forced Austria and its allies to make peace with France. But after this, Napoleon was relieved of his command. He was poor and was suspected of treason. Napoleon had no friends. No one would have suspected what Napoleon would do next. In 1796, Napoleon was appointed to put down a revolt in Paris. He calmly took complete control of the situation. He had his men shoot all the rebels in the streets. The French government was saved, but they decided to form a new government called the Directory. Under the new government, Napoleon was made commander of the French army in Italy. During this campaign, the French realized how smart Napoleon was. He developed a tactic

On October 29th, 1801, the revolt broke out on the Northern Plain. Toussaint was so enraged that he ordered certain men to shoot themselves! He then ordered Moyse’s arrest and had him confined in the fort of Port de Paix, displayed in document E. These actions and decisions made it very clear Toussaint was a strong force and military leader, whether people liked him or not. Speaking of liking him or not, historian William Wells Brown wrote in his book that Toussaint had “superior knowledge of the character of his race, his humanity, generosity, and courage had gained the confidence of all whom he had under his command”, said in document F. Toussaint Louverture is a strong military commander and should be remembered as that

King Louis XVI believed the revolutionary changes he detested “had been provoked by a few radicals in the National Assembly and their demagogic control of Parisian ‘rabble’ (87).” As thousand flocked to see the kings caravan return to Paris it became evident he had misinterpreted the true influence of the revolution. Many of his loyal subjects rejected the notion removing their hats upon his arrival, a snub to the king and his royal family. Previously under the king’s regime the general public had considered him
