The Battle Of Milvian Bridge

The battle of Milvian Bridge lead by Constantine in 312 (Allan, 45), gave Christians a surge of hope and faith as Constantine would claim king of the Roman Empire. After such a great battle, Christianity would be put into question how it was impacted through living and socio-economic standards.

This week I decided to tackle the Battle of Moultrie that occurred n June 28th, 1776. This battle is also named the Battle of Sullivan’s Island, which occurred between the British and American Continentals and militia.1 The British were led by General Sir Henry Clinton and the Americans were under the overall command of General Lee and his subordinate, General William Moultrie.2 The British began make preparations for their southern operations during the war in January 1776 and assigned General Clinton as overall commander.3

Indeed, Constantine called upon the aid of Christ to help him defeat his adversaries and end the wars of imperial succession that had been plaguing Rome since the crisis of the third century, “…he [Constantine] needed some more powerful aid than his military forces could afford him…”(Eusebius, The Conversion of Constantine, Ch. XXVII).

22, 717 total casualties, the Battle of Antietam will go down as the bloodiest battle in American history, even surpassing Pearl Harbor and even to the surprise of many, D-Day. This battle was one of many in the Maryland campaign for the Confederacy, but this battle will cost the Confederacy many lives that will be of more significance to the Confederacy then the Union, as they have a larger population to pull troops from. The Battle of Antietam was fought in the city of Sharpsburg, Maryland in September 17,1862. There are many factors that played into the outcome of the battle, such as the advantages and cons of each army, the battle and tactics used, and the overall conclusion of the Battle of Antietam.

This shows that the Roman military were not very strong or motivated when it came to protecting their people They just gave up and put their life on the line while doing it. Strength and motivation are very important when it comes to having a good army and since Rome’s army did not have any of these qualities, towards the end of the Roman Empire’s life, their army was not any help at all. This is relevant because if the army is lazy and very easy to beat then Rome would be vulnerable and invaders could attack and conquer them at any time. If invaders attacked them then Rome would immediately have to surrender, throwing away all their hard work. Even though the military’s problems were a massive part in Rome’s decline, Rome still had many more difficult situations to deal

Yankee invaders between 1877-1850 subjugated the Southern way of life. The degeneration of liberty begun with the North’s ideology of abolishment of slavery, the election of Abraham Lincoln, the disapproval of sovereign succession, the invasion of the Confederate States of America, and the torment of military districts. Laws unjustly created to suppress the white Southerners. These condemnations lasted for over twenty years. This essay will highlight all of these atrocities, and finally will demonstrate that through all this pain and suffering Southern patriotic dignity remained intact.

On March 9, 1862, the battle between the Union’s USS Monitor and the Confederate’s USS Merrimack was history’s first duel between ironclad warships. The cannons bounced effortlessly off the iron armor of the boats. This battle was known as the Battle of Hampton Roads and was part of the Confederate effort to break the Union blockade of Southern ports. This battle ended in a draw where neither side could declare victory, but it started the era of naval warfare. The use of ironclads marked the end of thousands of years of wooden warships.

The Battle of Big Hole in 1877 demonstrated well the dynamics of communication, strategy, and risk assessment in every stage of the battle, from the gathering of information to the aftermath of the slaughter. The materials of gathering intelligence, for example, can literally make or break the matter of mission completion. In this case, communication between commanders aided in U.S. Army in cutting off the path to Canada for the fleeing Nez Perce Native Americans.

Maritime wars took a noteworthy change amid the common war. On March 8 1862 the Confederates revealed a ship that would change maritime fighting everlastingly, making wooden body ship outdated. The Confederates set two layers of steel plate over the structure of the "Merrimack", situated ten firearms along its side and included a smash her bow. This resilient ship in its first fight, in the harbor of Hampton Roads assaulted five Union boats. The "Merrimack" renamed the "Virginia" sank one Union boat, exploded another ship, and made a third run ashore. No shots could infiltrate her shield. The unexpected thing was the Merrimack was left to sink after the Union naval force cut gaps into it.

The following day showed the beginning of the Battle of Mechanicsville. General Lee, attempting to gain the initiative on his enemy, began his offensive by attacking one lone corps under the command of Major General Fitz John Porter. With the remaining four Union corps on the south side of the Chickahominy River, Brigadier General A.P. Hill, who was being reinforced by Major General D.H. Hill, began a chain of assaults on the flank of Porter’s corps. General “Stonewall” Jackson, arriving late from the Shenandoah Valley, finally forced Porter to give up his position and move to an area behind Boatswain Swamp just past Gaines’ Mill.

In the early 1600s, colonies such as Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Maryland, were built on various religious principles. In addition to the colonist focus on gaining their independence and having the freedom to live as they chose; away for England 's ruling. However, religion was a major battle for those upcoming settlements. Many had their own perception of what they thought was the truth about the Bible and if anyone opposed their belief, harm was due to them.

Constantine’s success at the Milvian Bridge was definitely a battle that deserves praise because of his great military operation. Nevertheless, his motivation for fighting was something that must be taking into consideration. It is commonly stated and believed that on the evening of October 27th, while preparing for battle, Constantine had a vision, which let him fight under the protection of the Christian God. Eusebius stated,

Diocletian did not entirely trust Constantius, and held Constantine as a hostage in his court to ensure first-rate performance from Constantius. Despite this Constantine remained a distinguished court member, fighting for Diocletian, as well as for Galerius in Asia. He battled the barbarians of Danube in 296, fought the Persians in Syria and Mesopotamia in 297, 298, and 299. Constantine returned to Nicomedia in the spring of 303, to find the beginnings of Diocletian’s “Great Persecution”, beginning to take place. The Great Persecution brought about the demolition of the new church in Nicomedia, the imprisonment of priests, the deprivation of authoritative ranks from Christians, and the destruction of many churches and scriptures. On May 1, 305 Diocletian announced his resignation because of a crippling illness he developed during the previous winter. Galerius was chosen as his imperial successor. It did not take Constantine long to recognize the immediate danger in remaining in the east. Constantius made the request of Galerius to allow his son to leave the east to help him campaign in Britain. Galerius granted the request, and during the summer of 305 Constantine joined his father in Gaul. Constantine campaigned at his father’s side for a year in Northern Britain, before his father became very ill. Over the course of his campaign, Constantius’s health quickly declined, and he
