Battle of Monmouth

The Parliament passed the Sugar Act on April 5, 1764. It was designed to increase revenue for Great Britain by putting a tax on sugar and molasses imported into the 13 American colonies. IT also aimed at ending trade from the French and Dutch West Indies. One of the main reasons it was a lucrative tax is that molasses was used to make rum, which was a highly sought after commodity. The effect that the Sugar Act had on the colonies was detrimental and led to quite a bit of resentment, anger and

One by one the steeds make their appearance. The crowd roared, as the newest addition to the race appears and makes his way to the metal starting gate. Only two years of age, the young steed is a wild and restless horse. Just the animal for the Monmouth County Horse Races. The crowd dies down until the only sound heard is the pounding of the stallions on the metal gates. The crowd hangs in suspense waiting for the blast of the gun (signaling the start of the race).Crack! The gun sounds. The metal

She is portrayed as the eldest, the most beautiful of the nine sisters. Monmouth created her to be a healer which would influence her role in medieval Arthurian legend works. Chrétien de Troyes might be the first to name Morgan le Fay as Arthur’s sister in Erec and Enide and Yvain. Though Chrétien’s works maintain the benevolence

The musical begins with the company summarizing Alexander Hamilton's early life as an orphan in the Caribbean ("Alexander Hamilton"). Hamilton was born out of wedlock in the West Indies[13]—his father abandoned him in the boy's early youth and his mother died when Hamilton was 12. By 19, Hamilton has made his way to the American colonies, a dedicated supporter of American independence. In the summer of 1776 in New York City, Hamilton seeks out Aaron Burr. Burr advises the overenthusiastic Hamilton

INTRODUCTION The Fabian strategy, also known as strategic defense, is a military strategy in which a weaker force avoids decisive battles with the enemy and creates delay in a war of attrition until the right moment arrives to deliver a decisive blow. General George Washington and his Continental Army, supplemented by the militia, employed this strategy successfully against the British Army during the War for American Independence. The Russian generals did not, however, employ a successful strategic

However, all was not peaceful in the kingdom. Arthur married the beautiful Queen Guinevere who betrayed their marriage with his best friend and trusted knight Sir Lancelot. Arthur was later killed in battle when a civil war broke out in Camelot. His body has never been found. The legend of King Arthur may have been originally inspired by a brave military officer who led the British army against the Saxon invasion in the sixth century. One of the earliest

“What!?!? No this can’t be true! How did I not think of it before?! How did I not connect the dots?!”. I am Delilah Marie Gonzalez by day, but Cobolt Fire by night. That was me freaking out back there. Let me start from the beginning. I go to Monmouth University. I paid to have a dorm and live on campus. I thought that living on campus would be easier for me so that I do not have to drive from one city to another to get to class. My roommate is Sally Michelle Nimbit. Sally is friendly, but

MA (Doc A). The picture showed a woman holding a gun. The image reminds me of Molly Pitcher. Molly Pitcher was a nickname given to a woman said to have fought in the American Battle of Monmouth. Molly carried pitchers of water to soldiers, earning her the nickname. After Molly’s husband collapsed during the battle, she took over the operation of his cannon. Women were denied public speaking and some women, like Molly Wallace (Doc J). She stated her case in her valedictory address to the Young

Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Continental Army records show that William Hayes was an artilleryman at the Battle of Monmouth in 1778, and his name appeared on a list of people who were charged with enforcing the Tea Act in 1774. In 1778, William Hays trained as an artilleryman in the Constitutional Army. His wife Mary Hays and other camp followers served as water carriers, carrying water to troops who were in battle. Also, artillerymen needed a constant supply of fresh water to cool down the cannon barrels, It

While historian Gordon Wood won a Pulitzer Prize arguing that the American Revolution was radical, it is in my opinion that this war was no more radical than any other war ever fought. By reviewing the war from different angles such as the causes, leaders, economic state, and social movements of the war, it becomes clear that the war was indeed not radical. First if we looked at it from the angle of the cause, was it different than any other war? Just like any other war there was no singular
