This had the British believing that they could conquer the entire Southern campaign. The British also hoped that after conquering the heavily populated areas the loyalist would join in the fight to aid Britain in the war. The Southern Campaign became a civil war, as the colonist divided into Patriots and Loyalists. Fellow neighbors turned against each other and old disputes and hostilities resurfaced.

The Patriots were the Americans that were against the British and vigorously supports their country. The Loyalists or Tories are the people who support the British king or the British government.

This wasn’t the first time that we have fought the Loyalists in battle there is countless more.

British generals William and Richard Howe sailed into the New York harbor with an army of 32,000 men, many of them being German mercenaries. Mercenaries were soldiers who fought for money. American general George Washington only rallied 23,000 untrained recruits to New York's defense. Because of the vast disadvantage, the battle for New York ended with an American retreat. By the fall, only 8,000 American troops remained, and many of their enlistments were due to end by December 31. This meant General Washington needed to give his men a reason to reenlist.

We finished fighting in the Battle of Fredricksburg. This battle went from December 11-15, and I am glad that I am one of the lucky ones to survive. We tried to make it a surprise attack, but the South was prepared. Major General Ambrose E. Burnside was our general for the battle. The souths was General Robert E. Lee. Our army arrived in Falmouth on November 15, but the pontoon boats were on a delay.

All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Remarque, is a classic anti-war novel about the personal struggles and experiences encountered by a group of young German soldiers as they fight to survive the horrors of World War One. Remarque demonstrates, through the eyes of Paul Baumer, a young German soldier, how the war destroyed an entire generation of men by making them incapable of reintegrating into society because they could no longer relate to older generations, only to fellow soldiers.

I hesitate to speak of our sustaining power the Confederate soldiers had because it has been so often and so much more beautifully spoken of than I can possibly do it. I mean of course the inspiration given by the grand and noble women of our dear Southland. The men were “Patriots” generally the women universally. In a thousand ways they contributed to the carrying out of the war. No undertaking was too great and no sacrifice too much for them.

The easiest route, and fastest between the two cities was I-70, BG Lane suspected that given speed of attack and willingness to get to Washington, the General was almost positive that any forces from the Army of the Potomac would make its way down the I-70.

The Continental Army was the USA's Army during the Revolutionary War. It was formed on June 14, 1775 by the Second Continental Congress. George Washington was the general of the army.

The British freed all of the slaves that fought on their side, despite the fact that they lost. The whole Continental Army was fueled by hope and support by the French and Spanish. They were forced to work harder for their victories than the British forces because they had to first organize themselves, train new soldiers, find guns,
