  • Thomas Mifflin-Revolutionary Patriot*
    THOMAS MIFFLIN-REVOLUTIONARY PATRIOT* By KENNETH R. ROSSMAN THERE is no biography of Thomas Mifflin, and usually his- 1torians angrily dismiss him as a plotter against Washington in the notorious "Conway Cabal."' Although only a secondary figure in a period studded with great men, he nevertheless does not de- serve this neglect. Provincial and state assemblyman, ardent patriot, delegate to the Continental Congress and once its president, quarter- master-general and major-general in the Continental Army, Board of War Commissioner, member of the Federal Convention, chair- man of the state constitutional convention, president of the Supreme Executive Council, three-times governor of Pennsylvania-these bespeak eloquently his influence and prominence in local and conti- nental affairs. Several factors help to explain Miffin's failure to receive biographical treatment. The materials for a full-length portrait are still wanting, especially private and personal letters. His sup- posed complicity in the Conway Cabal, as well as bitter contro- versy over his work as quartermaster-general, deterred other biographers who might have undertaken the task. This essay, a study of an early portion of his career, may in part fill the gap. Thomas Mifflin, the oldest son of John Mifflin and Elizabeth Bagnell, was born in Philadelphia, January 10, 1744.2 Descendant of an old Quaker family of prominence and wealth in this city, he was assured a good start in life. His father was a prosperous mer- chant, and very active in public affairs. *Before it was revised and completely documented, this article appeared originally in Abstracts in History, V, 1939-1943 (Iowa City, 1943).

  • Thomas Burke: Southern Patriot in The
    THOMAS BURKE: SOUTHERN PATRIOT IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION APPROVED:: Major Stressor •p. MXnor ProLf ess<5r/ Di^ctor of the Departmentqt History Dean of the Graduate School Hud- Salter, Bette Jo, Thomas Burke; Southern Patriot In the American Revolution. Master of Arts (History), January 1971, 110 pp., bibliography, 30 titles. Thomas Burke, who emigrated from Ireland in the 176o's, played an active political role during the American Revolution. He was a member of the North Carolina provincial Congress which worked out that state*s transition from colony to statehood, and he served three terms as a delegate to the Continental Congress. He also served one term as Governor of the state of North Carolina. This study is an attempt to determine the extent of Burke*s influence at the state and national level, and the effect of one man*s personality on the revolutionary period in America. The presentation of this material is divided into three major divisions and an epilogue. Chapter I, "Thomas Burke*s Rise to Prominence," provides the background of Burke1s early life, including his move to North Carolina, his professional career, and his first political activities in the North Carolina statehood movement. Chapter II, "Thomas Burke in the Continental Congress," describes the most Important phase of his career. Prom 1777 to 1781 Burke imposed his states rights philosophy on the Continental Congress and prevented the formation of a national government under the Articles of Confederation. Chapter III, "Governor Thomas Burke," discusses the final phase of his career. He became governor of North Carolina in 1781 when the state was under selge by both British and Loyalist forces.

  • The Capture of Fort Ticonderoga, Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold Are Engaged in a Heated Contest to See Who Would Ultimately Take Com- Mand of the Captured Fort
    Background Information for Teachers Much of what we know about the historic capture of Fort Ticonderoga by Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold, and the Green Mountain Boys on May 10, 1775, comes from the letters, journals, and diaries of the par- ticipants. This activity for students includes descriptions of the capture from the point of view of three men: Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold, and Joceyln Feltham. Even though all three were present during the capture, their accounts don’t always agree. History is not a list of facts; it is the interpretation of facts. These three men each have a bias and rea- sons for including or excluding certain facts. In the hours and days after the capture of Fort Ticonderoga, Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold are engaged in a heated contest to see who would ultimately take com- mand of the captured Fort. In the dozens of letter Ethan Allen writes in the days after May 10th, Benedict Arnold is only mentioned in one—the letter written to the New York Committee of Safety. Why? There was a warrant for Allen’s arrest in New York, and it was to Allen’s advantage, in that one letter, that his actions in capturing the fort not be seen as by his action alone. On the other hand, Jocelyn Feltham, second in command of the British troops at Ticonderoga, is writing a report to General Thomas Gage, the Commander-in-Chief of all British forces in North America. Feltham doesn’t care whether Allen or Arnold is in charge. His chief motivation is to defend his actions and those of his commander, Captain William Delaplace.
