Nathaniel Wheeler Wad: A Brief Analysis

Charles Nevad was one of those people who planted trees so others could enjoy the shade. I was one of the many fortunate ones among his students and friends who had the privilege to be in his company and conversant of Charlie’s thoughts about art, worldly concerns and from a philosophical perspective throughout much of my life. Charlie saw the world in a different kind of light, an inner light composed of each of our own inner truth. He approached life as he would a painting, by seeing the subject as a whole rather than the sum of their parts. He taught more than just art to his students, and friends, he taught a way of seeing inwardly to find the answers to our own truth.

The first reason that I think that “The Patriot” was somewhat historically accurate is because of the man named Benjamin Martin. Benjamin Martin is based on a man named Francis Marion. According to ‘patriotresource.com’ they are very much alike in terms of war and Being chased by

George Washington Lane was born to Jonathan and Mary Colley Lane 1806. George was either born in Cherokee or Ogelthorp County Georgia. In 1818 George moved to Limestone County Alabama with his mother Mary Colley Lane. George earned an elementary education after arriving in Alabama. He read law under Judge Daniel Coleman and was admitted to the bar in 1826. George was then elected probate judge of Limestone County, Alabama and then was elected circuit judge, he served that office for sixteen consecutive years. George represented Limestone County on several occasions in the legislature. On October 3, 1834 George Married Martha Nicholas Davis the daughter of Captain Nicholas Davis. George and Martha had 11 children, Robert Wilson Lane, George Gale, Nicholas, Mary, Kate Gaston, Belta Colley, May Fern, Charles Paul, and Hector Davis are the children listed in the 1840 census. Seven of George’s children lived to adulthood. The 1840 census of Limestone County Alabama lists George as head of a household of 48. George owned 44 slaves. George Washington Lane was a highly respected and successful farmer, lawyer and politician at the beginning of the anti-slavery movement. As the anti-slavery movement increased, George is said to have freed all of his slaves soon after the secession debates in Montgomery were held. George was strongly opposed to secession. George was convinced that secession was a mistake, and to let everyone know how he felt, he hung a union flag over his door. Apparently George’s beliefs were well known and had found their way to Washington around April of 1861. At that time it is said that he was appointed Federal Judge of

Nathaniel Bacon is one of the few rebellious people whose name has been taught from school to school in America. “Why is that?”, you may ask, “why him? Why is his rebellion significant in American history?”. Bacon’s rebellion used to be seen as the start of the American Revolution, but now, modern historians have uncovered the truth of the Virginian Rebellion of 1676. Historians have found out that the real issue that caused Nathaniel Bacon’s rebellion was his stubbornness and selfishness. People may specifically point fingers to a number of reasons for Bacon 's rebellion, they may include the following: economic problems, commercial competition from Maryland and Carolina, a restricted English market, and the rising prices from English

From the accounts, I find the loyalists account more believable than the Patriots account. The account begins by narrating the entrance of the king’s troops in the town in 1768. This entrance had one meaning, those people who referred to themselves as sons of liberty would soon lose their freedom. The arrival of the king’s troop implies the abolition of the democratic government. Parliament would not have any meaningful use. Its deliberations would not be important because the resulting laws would not be binding. It was necessary for people to revolt against the king. This revolution would earn back their freedom. They would once again have a democratic government.

Being subjected to public humilation in front of massive crowds with harsh punishments, the loyalists found themselves in a tough predicament between the radicals and their independence from Britian while the loyalists thought differently. Most of the loyalists found their properties vandalized, looted and burned by angry mobs of men. There was no doubt that the patriots of the thirteen colonies controlled the public discourse. There was bound to be a revolt against the British by the patriots because they didn’t agree against the policies imposed by the British parliament. The patriots of “The New World” have a much more logical reasoning than the loyalists because they felt that the British parliament was in

War is tough. You’ll experience near death experiences and come near the brink of death. But hey, as long as you're recognized as a hero, right? From the years of 1775-1778, the American Revolution was seeming formidable, nearly nonviable. The feeling and thought that you were going to make it out alive seemed cloudy and an impossible reality. From the ridiculous and frustrating acts made by the ruling British to the never-ending and gruesome battles, you wouldn't want to live there, let alone fight in the war that seemed to have no end. The lack of resources, the horrible weather, and amount of people killed are all reasons why I would've quit and left right there and then. What would you have done?

Those who follow the Patriots path towards independence will have a future of anarchy, will face the horrors of civil war, and have complete misery( Doc F). If one turns against those loyal to the government and the powers of Great Britain, they will suffer a fatal consequence. William Franklin is the son of a Loyalist, Benjamin Franklin, he addresses his thoughts on independence to the New Jersey assembly and explains his Loyalists beliefs. He informs the assembly that based off previous occasion that held similar to this he came up with the concept of the choice of supporting either the crown, or the people, both are equally destructive to the rights of both. Franklin supports the Loyalist movement, stating that it offers a safer and more peaceful result. Those who remain loyal to their country will benefit from their country and face lesser consequences than those who go against it.This creates a sense of fear and empowers people to remain Loyalists during this time for overall

“Among the American suffering the most grievous losses were those who remained loyal to the Crown” (Nash, p. 187). They lived successful lives in England and other regions as well. They appeared after the war to the royal commission demanding the reimbursement of their losses during the war. They did not secure anything. The amount of people who stayed loyal differed from place to place. Many remained a loyalist because of the revolutionary assemblies who had revenge against those who rejected the revolution and could not vote. They had their properties taken away, and banished from their homes. Some of them in the Georgia assembly was towards their death. Their childhood was destroyed, families left them, and people could attack them because

Nathan was a patriot because he wanted freedom and independence. He was a spy, military leader he was sent by George Washington himself to spy on the British for an attack. His role in the Revolutionary War was to spy on the British. To let George Washington now of an attack against the colonists. His outcome in the war is that they were to learn about the attack. He was appointed general by George Washington. He was gave lieutenant when he joined the militia. Nathan Hale said this when he was executed ‘’I only regret i have but one life to lose for my country.” He was sent to British headquarters. Maps and fortification plans were found on Nathan’s body British took control of long island. The way Nathan’s disguise failed was his cousin Samuel Hale sold him out. He spent about three days in Connecticut. His friend Roger invited nathan over for a meal. He was arrested at their

The American Revolution was a war of principles fought by Loyalists and Patriots. However, Loyalists believed in neutrality, peace, and no brutality or treason. Therefore, Patriots believed in freedom of religion, the right to bear arms, and the right to break away from the British government. In the novel My Brother Sam is Dead created by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier, a family disputes over which side is right. James and Christopher Collier use the ironies of Life, Jerry, and Sam's death to induce Tim's decision of neutrality.

Life for the loyalists became increasingly difficult during the war. Loyalists who lived in areas controlled by the patriots were in constant danger from radical patriots. Many of them lost their homes and businesses.

Proceeding the Revolutionary War, the colonists were thought to be underdogs; however, they were a force to be reckoned with. Victory wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t impossible either. The Thirteen colonies had good fortune in the fact that there were many skilled leaders among them. These leaders allowed American armies to learn new military tactics and establish foreign interventions. Despite the disorganization of the union, most colonists came together as one to fight. With the support of the people, many diplomatic opportunities came and choices were made, such as the Olive Branch Petition and forming an alliance with France; moreover, this would have been possible with out the great leadership of our founding father, Benjamin Franklin, and the ideal image of leadership from the honorable George Washington, allowing a movement so great it consecrated a successful revolt against the British reign and formed a whole new nation.

I believe that me being neutral in this type of era would be extremely dangerous. I would honestly get killed asap. I’m not a killing person, let alone being in war killing people. I think that this nation has changed so much since 1777. Most rights have been taken. Stupidity has ruined this country. For me in that era, I would not make it.

Wilfrid Wilson Gibson was a British Georgian poet and a lot of his work gets associated with World War 1. The poet’s work originally started out as magical story-telling; then abandoned that style for a more honest, realistic style to life. Not life for the upper class, but for the low level workingman. The switch to talking about the life of the working class made his work more real; his war poems were told through the view of the common soldier. His switch in his poetry theme was not pleasing to everyone though. A conscript is compulsory enlistment for state services, specifically armed forces. “The Conscript” is about how working class men, the conscripts, are being examined by doctors to see if they are in the proper conditions to go to war or be sent home. The doctors do not care if the men die instantly when they go to war. In “The Conscript,” Wilfrid Wilson Gibson develops the theme of the predestined death for the common man. The poet does this by
