Peggy Mitchell

We all had something when we were younger that put the spotlight on us as children. Whether it was an unusual last name, big ears, or funny freckles there was something that made us insecure or self-conscious. I can remember being made fun of for my last name “Hartung”. Kids used to ask me if my tongue was a heart and I would begrudgingly answer saying that Hartung actually meant royalty in German, which was a lie but it was what my parents told me to say.

Peggy Schuyler groaned as her sister, Angelica, dragged her through a stadium down the front row. Her sister’s favorite singer Maria Reynolds was touring and Angelica had gotten tickets for the both of them, even though Peggy had no desire to go. “Angie how did you get first row tickets? Is sitting up here really necessary?” Peggy wished she was at home in her bed, as she wasn’t a fan of big crowds and loud music. Her sister plopped down in her seat and rolled her eyes at her sister’s question.

Lydia Darragh was a brave Quaker Housewife living on Second Street when the British occupied Philadelphia on September 26th, 1777. Many major wars were taking place, and they were known as the American Revolution when referred to as one. She supported the war effort and was read out of her meetings because of that support. There is no concrete proof of Darragh’s stories, but a family member brought her memorable actions to life. That member was Darragh’s daughter, Ann, who recounted the story years

Desiring recognition and the feeling of pride brings a fullness in life so if you were to not being given the proper recognition, if you were utterly ignored, if you were tossed aside and others received credit for your very own work, is if you were faced to choose between taking the high road and becoming a better human being or would you act out in vengeance?

Benedict Arnold The name Benedict Arnold has become a synonym for a traitor to one's country. In the first years of the American Revolution, however, Arnold was a brilliant and dashing general, highly respected for his service to the patriot cause (see Revolution, American). Benedict Arnold was born on Jan. 14, 1741, in Norwich, Conn. His father, Benedict, was a well-to-do landowner. His mother was Hannah King Waterman Arnold. While a boy, young Arnold twice ran away to join the colonial troops

John André and Benedict Arnold, he was preparing for a breakfast at the Arnold home. Arnold fled from the house, but his wife “Peggy had retired to her bedroom, ready to feign innocence and hysterical despair…She was an artful actress, and the show of stunned sorrow which she staged in the days that followed convinced almost everyone of her innocence.” Ever since Peggy Shippen Arnold’s dramatic display of her ignorance to her husband’s betrayal, historians have struggled to accurately reconstruct

Being a loyalist, Peggy suggested secretly contacting Britain for money. Arnold began selling information on troop positions. This continued until Arnold was ready for defecting. Peggy sent letters asking England for more money. These letters were delivered by her close friend John Andre. Andre carried documents across battle lines

This is also why it becomes so hard for Peggy when Joan begins to resent her for catching the attention of the men in the office

Benedict Arnold, “the most recognized name in American History 101” (Kullman, 2015), has become tantamount with the word traitor. Nowadays, Benedict Arnold has become infamous for his treacherous plot of giving West Point to the Redcoats, but I like to believe that most people overlook his paramount embroilment in the early stages of the Revolutionary War and the reasons that he decided to betray the United States.
