The Role Of The Patriot Spy In The Revolutionary War

A sneaky, stealthy war tactic called Guerilla Warfare won the American Revolutionary War for the Patriots. Guerrilla warfare is a tactic that was practiced a lot in the revolutionary war and was without a doubt one of the few reasons the Patriots defeated the British. Guerrilla warfare helped the colonists win the Revolutionary war. This tactic was used successfully used in the Battle of Trenton, the Battle of Lexington and Concord, and was widely practiced by Francis Marion in the south.

The Revolutionary War, America’s conflict with Great Britain, the most powerful country in the world at the time, resulted in the independence of the United States of America. Through a war that lasted just over eight years, a relatively small country, which was actually a largely oversized settlement connected by roads, villages, towns, and cities before they won the war, was able to defeat the British with the help of France along the way. The war was caused by the rebellious reactions of the colonists to the taxes and acts that King George III had put into place to pay for the cost of the French and Indian War. The colonists were angered because of the taxes they were forced to pay for a war that was not theirs. The Revolutionary War proved

The Revolutionary War was a huge moment in history. This had the colonists separate from British control. It was huge for the colonists to break away from British control.

The American Revolution and the Revolutionary War was the starting point of America’s journey to become an independent country. The revolution was an aggressive movement to finally be free of Britain once and for all. There were a lot of components in a victory for the Americans: help from foreign countries, strong unity, home field advantage, and spies. Yes, spies. The spies who were in the American Revolution played a crucial role in many aspects of the war, including discovering acts of treason, learning British battle plans, and discovering locations of different individuals and groups of the enemy.

There have been many famous rebellions in world history, but one of the most famous is the Revolutionary War, starting on April 29th, 1775 to September 3rd, 1783. What lead to the Revolutionary War was several acts/taxes (all without representation), in other words, tighter British control lead to the revolution in colonial America.

For many, after the dreadful seven years’ war all thought it could only get better. Britain sustained a massive debt leaving them in a hole so deep you could not see light. Britain had sought to acquire all nessary funds to help lessen the debt as much as possible, leaving the people angered, especially people from the colonies. Britain began to impose an abundance of unsanctioned taxes on them. The American colonist were infuriated with such actions, arguing that they it was not consulted. In accordance to all these events many had took it up themselves to express their opinion with action.

In my opinion the Boston Tea party, The Intolerable Acts, and The Proclamation were the three main causes of the Revolutionary war. The Boston Tea Party and the Intolerable acts caused some friction but not the most. The main cause that started the war was the intolerable acts.

Patriotism defines America like no other continent. The victory of the Seven Years’ War evoked the patriotism in the inhabitants of North America, however, the aftermath of the war led to a series of events that would create a domino effect, resulting in the Revolutionary War. The outset of this domino effect was the taxation passed by the Parliament to reduce the debt after the war, named Stamp Act. The impact of this taxation was extremely poignant since it was the first direct taxation applied to the population of the colony. Through the employment of boycotts as a form of rebellion, Americans manifested that the tax seemed outrageous since it was meant to collect a profit rather than to regulate trade.

“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

“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God, cannot retain it.” This quote from Abraham Lincoln takes place far from the beginning of slavery and the Revolutionary War but illustrate how it is important for each person to respect the freedom of another person. All the states north of the Chesapeake gradually abolished slavery after the Revolutionary in different ways. This essay explains how people from a state as Maryland divided by abolitionists and conservatives have changed their mind about slavery between before and after the Revolutionary War. For analyze this change of mind, we need first to have a look of the born and the beginning of the slavery, how it came up, why and for what.

Although the Revolution period between the years of 1776 - 1783 had established the unity of the States to become the United States, an extremely important matter had not been dealt with by the people. In 1861, this matter was addressed in a devastating battle that lasted for over four years. This war became known as the largest and highly destructive battle between the years of 1815 and 1914. A battle that would either determine if the nation was to be based upon an independent government or a dissoluble confederation. A government that needed to determine if all men were created with an equal right to liberty. On the day of April 12th 1861, a divided nation known as the Confederacy (the South) declared the secession from the United States.

During the 18th Century the Americans were fighting for their independence from the British, through the American Revolutionary War, which gave hope to the Native Americans. This war lasted for eight years, from 1775 to 1783. By fighting with the revolutionaries, they hoped it would help them protect their land, liberty, and their culture. They would later find out that those revolutionary visions were left unfulfilled. Europeans always misunderstood the Natives way of living and their culture, by calling them savages, and killing off their entire population just to take their land from them.

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.

Spy were an important role in the American revolution because they helped bring back important information to help them. One of the spies were Nathan hale, Nathan hale was a captain in the continental army. Nathan hale volunteered to go behind enemy lines as a spy to report back on important information about the british troop movements. Although this was a very important mission for america the spy was unfortunately captured by the british army. Due to this tragic event he was later executed for being a secret spy on september 22,1779. Furthermore George washington has charged major benjamin tallmadge for creating a spy ring in the US new york. George washington had no information that was on the patriot side which was a disadvantage for there

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
