Revolutionary War Hero Nathan Hale

Many notable Officers served during the Antietam battle that shaped the outcome of the Civil War. Major General George B. McClellan commanded the Federal Army comprised of 87,164 troops and 275 artillery cannons, while General Robert E. Lee commanded the Confederate Army with 41,000 troops and 194 guns. (Alexander, 2013). Along with notable Officers, there was notable Non-Commissioned Officers (NCO). One such NCO, who received a battlefield commission, was “Commissary Sergeant William McKinley (later President) of the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry who distinguished himself during the Battle of Antietam for getting needed rations to his men during the heat of battle.” (Elder, 2003)

Before the first battles in the colonies, America and Britain were united. Even though Britain was bombarding the colonists with taxes and laws --such as the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, and the Intolerable Acts-- Americans still preferred to be one with the British Empire instead of their own independent nation. The British and the Americans shared a sense of unity because they depended on each other due to the mercantilist system. These feelings of unity drastically transformed after the Battles of Lexington and Concord. For the first time, the colonists fought their mother country. Americans fired at the British and the British fired against Americans. Both sides discovered that they were no longer together. This realization was the point of no return because it demolished American-colonial British relations and eventually brought about

America, a young and inexperience nation, comes clamoring right into the world, fresh out of its revolution and into the large world of foreign relations. Of course no would respect this new nation and patronize it like was a little kid thinking it was able to act as an adult. In Document 2, John C. Calhoun, a war hawk who were congressmen that begged for war, states,” Protection and patriotism are reciprocal… if [the British] persist in such daring insult to injury to [the United States], it will be bound in honor and interest to resist”(Document 2). He depicts in this quote that America is nothing but a joke to the powerful foreign nations across the Atlantic and that we must show to them that we will not condone such an act. He also illustrates that we must prove to not only ourselves but the other nations that we are strong and independent. The absoluteness of this topic is nothing but bound by the actions of the British and we must take out the spine and fill back up with

Imagine a guy named Nathan Hale who valued freedom more than his own life. It is hard to believe Nathan Hale was a guy that would risk his life for a bit of information. His early life, adult life and contribution to the Revolutionary War shows how much he wanted freedom and liberty.

The War of 1812, a war that has been relatively forgotten over the course of many generations and yet still holds an essential place to America’s survival throughout the years. This hostility between the US and Britain is known as the “Second War of Independence”, or commonly known as the War of 1812. This war was a number of battles between two countries, one fighting to hold what they won less than forty years before, and the other to reclaim the land they lost. The struggle between Britain and the US stretched across the newly formed and growing nation.

Confederate General Robert E. Lee is considered to be one of the most gifted military leaders in

When he was 14 he enrolled at Yale University in Connecticut.

The ally between the Americans and the French was a strategy that proved to be successful during the Battle of Yorktown. However, because the French did not have conflict with either the Americans or the British, their involvement with this battle was contingent on two circumstances. First, the Americans must have the capability to defend and protect the French’s interest from their enemies. Second, the Americans would provide the allowance for the French

The Americans and the British both have different views of what happened on that day.

“I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country”. Nathan Hale was an american spy born on June 6th,1755 in Coventry, Connecticut. Hale and his older brother, Enoch were sent to Yale when Nathan was 14 and Enoch was 16. Hale was caught spying by the british on September 21st, 1776 and was killed by the british on September 22nd, 1776 in New York, New York. After his death there were rumors that his loyalist cousin Samuel Hale ratted out Nathan and told the british about his spying. There are three reasons to why Hale was one of the most influential heroes of the revolution. He was one of the first spies in the revolution, he was a martyr/patriot, and he was brave enough to spy on the british.

I consider George Armstrong Custer the most influential hero during the Civil War time period because of his excellent leadership and fighting skills during the time of war. George Custer lead the Union Army in many battles including the famous Battle at Little Bighorn and Bull Run. During this time just about anyone could join the fight with, or without experience and George Custer was a general with a great deal of experience, attending West Point Academy. Custer lead his small battalion in the Battle at Bull Run and they were very successful taking many casualties. Custer joined the army at a young age, and as his excellent deeds were soon heard throughout the Union getting him promoted very fast.

There are many heroic people in this world that are of inspiration to others. Some are famous and well known, while some are unknown and even forgotten. An example of an unfortunately forgotten hero is World War I veteran Frank Gaffney; the second bravest man in the United States military. Frank Gaffney earned his heroism for his quick response when faced with danger during World War I. Even though Gaffney became a forgotten hero of war, his remarkable accomplishments played a huge role in the development of our free country.
