Not Making Mistakes During The Revolutionary War

The one real mistake I believe we can make in life is to not learn from missteps

The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), the American War of Independence, or simply the Revolutionary War in the United States, was the prosperous military revolt against Great Britain of Thirteen American Colonies which joined together as the United States of America in July 1776. Originally constrained to fighting in those colonies, after 1778 it additionally became a world war between Britain and France, Netherlands, Spain, and Mysore.

Topic: Was American success in achieving independence due more to General Washington’s strategic skill or to British blunders?

Through vivid descriptions of George Washington, I learned that he was not the best military leader. There were multiple times in the war where Washington was faced with difficult decisions, and proved to be very indecisive. Also, there were times where action needed to be taken, but he couldn’t decide what to do. Even though I learned Washington wasn’t as great as the history books explain him to be, it makes me respect him more to know that he, just like any other American, flawed.

The outcomes of the Revolutionary war paved the way towards an expansion of territory sought out to respect civil liberties by outlawing slavery , reforming the education platform and is considered one of the most important legislative acts of the confederation congress. Thomas Jefferson was a key player as he created a vision with an empire based on principles novel at the time. On July 13, 1787 the Northwest Ordinance came into place, a new legislation which expanded the original 13 states westward not only acquiring land, but provided a framework for educational organization and political incorporation in the new territories.

During the beginning of Colonial America, there were many people who migrated from Europe to settle the new founded American Continent. They traveled from Europe to escape the laws, taxes, demands, and nobility brought upon them at the hands of King George III and Parliament. They wanted to be free from the tyranny of King George III. When the colonist arrived on the American Continent they felt freedoms that they had never before felt. After, feeling the freedom of being on this newly found continent King George once again started putting his demands on the Colonist. Eventually, the colonist saw their rights being taken away by the acts that were passed, the taxes that were implemented, and the Proclamation of 1763. The Tyranny of King

In 1776, the American people declared themselves an independent nation. The American people were traumatized by the Revolution and feared a strong central government. This led to their first attempt at a government, the Articles of Confederation, which ultimately failed. After this let down of a government, the founding fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence, which would become the law of the American land. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were two influential individuals, who were originally involved in the writing of the Declaration of Independence. Both were involved in the political side of the Revolutionary war, but when speaking of it, told alternate versions of the war. As they approached the end of their lives, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams dedicated themselves to telling extremely differentiating versions of the Revolutionary War; Jefferson focusing on the glory and Adams focusing on the hardships, while Jefferson’s version is the only one recorded in the textbooks students use today.

The Revolutionary War started on April 19, 1775 at Lexington and Concord. America was very much unprepared with no central government or army. The congress stepped up as the government and began to organize an army. The Revolutionary War did not end until September 3, 1783 with the signing of the final peace treaty between America and Great Britain. The victory in the Revolution War led to the birth of a new independent nation.

The creation of the American nation became what it is today from years of struggle in which the common people, as well as the Founding Fathers, played a vital part for independence. The promise of the Revolution, a nation based on the republican ideals of liberty, independence, and equality, was to some extent achieved. Yet the great principles of the Revolution have long shaped our thoughts of what it means to be an American. All the events leading up and after the American Revolution will have effects on the common people. The story of George Robert Twelves Hewes helps historians comprehend the part that the common people played in their struggle for freedom and republican ideals they wanted to achieve for the generations to come in the new nation.

To begin, the first of the four most important mistakes made by the British during the American Revolution was their imagined strength of the American loyalists. The Briitsh believed that the rebels in the colonies were the minorities, and that most colonists opposed the war. This drove the British to imagine a much stronger loyalist support, in turn, leading to several failures. For example, in 1778 the Secretary of State of the Colonies, George Germain, who could not send more troops to the colonies, wanted General Henry Clinton to consider offensive

I think that this quote means that you can be mistake free but that probably means you haven’t done anything to make a mistake. I think that mistake free is when you do something and you make no mistakes. I think that mistake free doesn’t really have a definition. I think mistake free doesn’t have a definition because nothing that you do is mistake free you are always going to make a mistake. For example, not studying for a test or crashing a car are examples for making mistakes. If you are “mistake free” I think you have done nothing that is capable of making a mistake. If we didn’t make mistakes we wouldn’t be human because everyone make a mistake every once in a while, but you might not make as many mistakes as some people, but you are still

Making mistakes is one of the most essential things of human life. Everybody makes mistakes whether it be during work, school, or even at home. Lewis Thomas emphasizes the fact that everybody does make mistakes, but it’s the step the person takes after they make the mistake that is crucial.

Of course, just as you are likely to experience success in the things you do, it is also likely that you will also make mistakes.

Each of us make mistake, either big or small mistakes. According to author and Stanford psychology professor Carol Dweck , the key to achievement and success is one’s perspective on the belief of ability. In my personal view, ability is something that can be developed. The position you take represents a part of your personality. People that have the ability to learn from mistake is the person that able to overcome his or her weakness. This kind of people always learn to see his or her mistakes without people telling it and will easily adapt the situation because they are already been in that situation

“A life spent in making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent in doing
