Then, have your Discussion Leader read through the following historical points and share your ideas about the people, the timeframe and the British and Colonial strategies! “Stand firm in your Faith, men of New England” “The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.” - George Washington, August 27, 1776 When General Thomas Gage, the British military governor of Boston, sent one thousand troops to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock at Lexington in April of 1775, he could not know the serious implications of his actions. Nor could he know how he had helped to set in motion a major rebellion that would shake the very foundations of the mightiest Empire on earth. General Gage was a military man who had been in North America since the 1750s, and had more experience than any other senior British officer. He had fought in the French and Indian War alongside a young George Washington, with whom he still had a friendly relationship. Gage had married an American woman from a prominent New Jersey family, and 10 of their 11 children had been born in the Colonies.

This battle was fought on August 16, 1777, in a British effort to capture American storehouses in Bennington to restock their depleting provisions. Baum had entrenched his men at the bridge across the Walloomsac River, Dragoon Redoubt, and Tory Fort, which Stark successfully attacked. Colonel Warner's Vermont militia arrived in time to assist Stark's reconstituted force in repelling Breymann's relief column of some 600 men. The British forces had underestimated the strength of their enemy and failed to get the supplies they had sought, weakening General John Burgoyne's army at Saratoga. Baum and over 200 men died and 700 men surrendered. The Americans lost 30 killed and forty wounded The Site: Hessian Hill offers picturesque views and interpretative signs about the battle. Directions: Take Route 7 east to Route 22, then take Route 22 north to Route 67.

  • The Battle of Saratoga to the Paris Peace Treaty
    1 Matt Gillespie 12/17/03 A&HW 4036 Unit: Colonial America and the American Revolution. Lesson: The Battle of Saratoga to the Paris Peace Treaty. AIM: Why was the American victory at the Saratoga Campaign important for the American Revolution? Goals/Objectives: 1. Given factual data about the Battle of Saratoga and the Battle of Yorktown, students will be able to describe the particular events of the battles and how the Americans were able to win each battle. 2. Students will be able to recognize and explain why the battles were significant in the context of the entire war. (For example, the Battle of Saratoga indirectly leads to French assistance.) 3. Students will be able to read and interpret a key political document, The Paris peace Treaty of 1783. 4. Students will investigate key turning points in US history and explain why these events are significant. Students will be able to make arguments as to why these two battles were turning points in American history. (NYS 1.4) 5. Given the information, students will understand their historical roots and be able to reconstruct the past. Students will be able to realize how victory in these battles enabled the paris Peace Treaty to come about. (NCSS II) Main Ideas: • The campaign consists of three major conflicts. 1) The Battle of Freeman’s farm. 2) Battle of Bennington. 3) Battle of Bemis Heights. • Battle of Bennington took place on Aug. 16-17th, 1777. Burgoyne sent out Baum to take American stores at Bennington. General Stark won. • Freeman’s farm was on Sept.

  • Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.

  • Trophies and Plunder: After the Battle of Bennington
    Trophies and Plunder: After the Battle of Bennington The seizure of “plunder” and its sale for distribution to troops routinely occurred during the Revolutionary War. The Battle of Bennington provides a closer look at how “plunder” worked and some of the complications it entailed. By Michael P. Gabriel1 s night fell on August 16, 1777, General John Stark’s militia and Green Mountain Boys army had won a resounding victory near Walloomsac, New York, defeating two German forces in what is known as the Battle of Bennington. In addition to capturing over seven hundred prisoners, Stark and his men recovered an enor- mous amount of equipment that littered the battlefield. While the main details of the battle are well known, what became of this equipment is less so. Many soldiers kept trophies of their participation in the victory, while Stark presented some items to Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire to commemorate the battle. He also sent some military equipment to the Continental Army. However, most of the items were sold as “plunder” at public auctions or vendue and the proceeds distrib- . Michael P.

  • General John Stark General John Stark of New Hampshire, Commander of the Patriot Forces at the Battle of Bennington, Was One of the Heroes of the American Revolution
    General John Stark General John Stark of New Hampshire, commander of the Patriot forces at the Battle of Bennington, was one of the heroes of the American Revolution. He led New Hampshire militiamen at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 and also fought bravely under General George Washington in the Patriot victories at Trenton and Princeton at the end of 1776. As Burgoyne’s British army surged down the Champlain Valley in the “There they are, the redcoats and the Tories. We beat them today or this night summer of 1777, and Vermont Molly Stark sleeps a widow.” appealed to New Hampshire for military assistance, Stark took command. Leading militia from New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont, and joined by Seth Warner’s Continental soldiers, he soundly defeated both Baum and Breymann along the Walloomsac River near Bennington on August 16, 1777. In 1809, when he was 81 years old and too old to travel to Bennington to commemorate the Battle, General Stark wrote a letter to the veterans gathered there. He said that his men “had not learned the art of submission, nor had they been trained to the art of war,” and that their success “taught the enemies of liberty that undisciplined freemen are superior to veteran slaves.” He went on: As I was then, I am now – the friend of the equal rights of men, of representative democracy, of republicanism, and the Declaration of Independence, the great charter of our national rights: and of course the friend of our indissoluble Union and Constitution of the states. Then he added a P.S.: “I will give you my volunteer toast – Live free or die – Death is not the greatest of evils.”.
