  • 'Deprived of Their Liberty'
    'DEPRIVED OF THEIR LIBERTY': ENEMY PRISONERS AND THE CULTURE OF WAR IN REVOLUTIONARY AMERICA, 1775-1783 by Trenton Cole Jones A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2014 © 2014 Trenton Cole Jones All Rights Reserved Abstract Deprived of Their Liberty explores Americans' changing conceptions of legitimate wartime violence by analyzing how the revolutionaries treated their captured enemies, and by asking what their treatment can tell us about the American Revolution more broadly. I suggest that at the commencement of conflict, the revolutionary leadership sought to contain the violence of war according to the prevailing customs of warfare in Europe. These rules of war—or to phrase it differently, the cultural norms of war— emphasized restricting the violence of war to the battlefield and treating enemy prisoners humanely. Only six years later, however, captured British soldiers and seamen, as well as civilian loyalists, languished on board noisome prison ships in Massachusetts and New York, in the lead mines of Connecticut, the jails of Pennsylvania, and the camps of Virginia and Maryland, where they were deprived of their liberty and often their lives by the very government purporting to defend those inalienable rights. My dissertation explores this curious, and heretofore largely unrecognized, transformation in the revolutionaries' conduct of war by looking at the experience of captivity in American hands. Throughout the dissertation, I suggest three principal factors to account for the escalation of violence during the war. From the onset of hostilities, the revolutionaries encountered an obstinate enemy that denied them the status of legitimate combatants, labeling them as rebels and traitors.

  • Part Iii: 1775-1783
    PART III: 1775-1783 The opening battles of the American Revolutionary War took place shortly after dawn on April 19, 1775, on Lexington Green and at Concord's North Bridge. Tidings of the bloodshed sped quickly throughout the countryside, and so swiftly did the news travel that messengers reached New Ipswich, N. H., 60 miles away, the same afternoon. It was 90 miles from the scene of the conflict to Keene, and there were no roads beyond New Ipswich; only a trail through the woods traced by blazed trees. Nevertheless, a rider pressed on and brought the electrifying news to Keene, either late that same night or early the next morning. Abner Sanger, a diarist in Keene at this period, noted: "The Regulars fight & do mischief at Concord &c." By April 20 the news was known in Keene, and Captain Ephraim Dorman, then commander of the local militia, was the first to be in- formed. Too old for active military service, he consulted with Captain Isaac Wyman, a more experienced soldier. Messengers were sent to every part of town, notifying the inhabitants to meet on the "Green" that afternoon. "Now is News of the Fight with Regulars in Concord Lexcinton [sic] . and also of People being Killed. Keene Town is in an Uproar. They warn a Musture," Sanger wrote on April 20. The fol- lowing day he recorded, "The Town of Keene Mustures in General. A Number List to go off to fight Regulars [and] all that List retire home to make rady to march on ye Morrow." Captain Wyman assembled Keene's citizen soldiers on the Com- mon in front of the Meetinghouse the afternoon of April 21.
