The dissertation moves from the operations of violence on the ground to the ideological implications of violence in the era of gradual emancipation.

BRENNEMAN' D URING the latter half of 1777 and the beginning of 1778 DWashington and his friends felt that certain men were plotting to remove Washington as commander-in-chief and to replace him with someone such as Horatio Gates. The Wash- ington men found proof of a cabal's existence in the actions and in the written and oral statements of men whom they believed were Washington's enemies. The cabal was named after its most verbal progenitor, Thomas Conway. Conway and the others involved later denied that they took part in any cabal. How- ever, most historians of the following century included the story in their volumes on the revolutionary period. In recent years some historians have pointed out that the evidence is not conclusive. Therefore, they deny the existence of any plot. As a result, a controversy has grown as to whether the Conway Cabal actually occurred. To understand why men turned against Washington, a look at the state of the nation from the fall of 1777 to the spring of 1778 is necessary. A feeling of apprehension spread through- out the nation in the fall, for Washington's army was unable to keep the British in check, the Continental Congress was fleeing from its meeting place, and Gates and his army were untested. Washington faced the British at Brandywine and Germantown and lost.
  • The Treachery of Charles Lee

    The Treachery of Charles Lee

    The Treachery of Charles Lee by Paul J. Burrow One of the most enigmatic military leaders of the American Revolution was the erratic and talented General Charles Lee. Born in Cheshire, England, Lee began his military career at the age of fourteen for the British and his brash and often abrasive attitude earned him many enemies that prevented advancement to the level he felt he deserved. He left England to serve as Chief of Staff under King Stanislaus Augustus until 1762 when he returned to England and was finally promoted to lieutenant colonel on half pay.1 By the time he returned to England, he had already developed strong anti-imperialist feelings towards King George III and the destruction of British liberty. Upon his arrival in America, he became a prolific pamphleteer for the burgeoning Independence cause. Lee quickly became one of the strongest voices for liberty and resigned his royal commission to accept appointment as second major general in the Continental army in June of 1775.2 Lee’s time in the Continental army was filled with controversy, some of which was not revealed until after his death. Appointed by Congress to command the American army in the southern military district, he repelled a British assault on Fort Moultrie and eventually joined General Washington in 1776.3 The interactions between Washington and Lee blossomed into a rivalry between the men that led to Lee’s demise. In December, Lee was taken captive by the British and held for the next sixteen months.4 It was during this time that Lee wrote letters to General Howe of the British army on how to win a swift and decisive victory over the revolutionaries.

Gulielma Sands was a pretty young woman in New York City at the turn of the 19th century. Better known as Elma (probably because her name is extremely difficult to pronounce), she had long been courted by a young suitor named Levi Weeks. On the night of December 22, 1799 she told her cousin she was to be wed in secret and left the house cheerfully. She never returned. The Discovery. Two weeks later, some of Elma’s belongings were found. Authorities discovered the worst. her lifeless body was soon removed from a nearby well. Murder was the word on everyone’s mind and it quickly made news throughout the city. A suspect was chosen almost immediately. Levi Weeks. Levi Weeks. Levi was a 24-year-old carpenter who worked for his successful brother, Ezra, on some of the finest mansions in New York City. He was able to assemble an impressive team of three lawyers for his defense: Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr and Henry Brockholst Livingston. Keep in mind, this was just 4 years before Hamilton and Burr exchanged fire on the dueling ground. Though there was surely a bit of tension, things were yet to boil over and the men were civil. In fact, these were three of the finest lawyers in the city and they made an outstanding team. The Trial. The People v. Levi Weeks was spoken about constantly in the papers. It was the major point of gossip throughout New York City.

  • The Triumph of Britannia?

    The Triumph of Britannia?

    CLASH OF EMPIRES: THE BRITISH, FRENCH & INDIAN WAR 1754 - 1763 CHAPTER 9 The Triumph of Britannia? FIER THE FALL OF NEW FRANCE and the stunning victories of the Seven Years' War, British officials turned their attention to the defense and administration of the newly enlarged American empire. For the first time, British leaders had to face the challenges of ruling large numbers of non-Protestant subjects. With 90,000 Catholic subjects in Canada, and at least 50,000 Native Americans (including perhaps 10,000 warriors) living east of the Mississippi River, a large military presence (7,500 regulars) seemed necessary. Rather than burdening British taxpayers, who had footed the enormous costs of the war, Great Britain now expected American colonists to pay for their own defense. At the same time, Parliament enacted a series of measures to centralize colonial administration and enforce trade laws. Once treated as imperial partners rather than dependents by the wartime administration of William Pitt, many American colonists bristled at what they believed was a systematic effort to deprive them of their British liberties. The burst of pro-British patriotic fervor that had briefly spanned the Atlantic Ocean quickly gave way to protests and recriminations. BRITONS OR AMERICANS? The 1765 Stamp Act and the colonial protests that followed have long been viewed as the first steps leading to the American Revolution. The decade that ended in April 1775 with the outbreak of rebellion in Massachusetts would be better characterized as a struggle to define the relationship between mother country and colonies rather than a drive for independence.

    123562525-The-Common-Necessaries

    “The common necessaries of life …” A Revolutionary Soldier’s Wooden Bowl John U. Rees Dedicated to the late Sally Paxson Davis for her kindness and generosity in sharing a family treasure. Artifacts connected to an individual Revolutionary War common soldier are rare, especially personal items like the mess bowl recently donated to Solebury Township Historical Society, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. That receptacle, belonging to an anonymous soldier, was left in the hands of a Solebury Township family, and passed from generation to generation down to the present–day. Having learned of its existence several years ago, in 2007 I was fortunate enough to learn the bowl’s whereabouts and arrange to examine it in person. At the time of the War for American Independence the village of Aquetong , also known as Paxson’s Corner, was on the York Road, nearly midway between Lahaska and the Great (Ingham’s) Spring (Solebury Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania., present– day Route 202/York Road and Aquetong Road, about 4 miles west of New Hope/Coryell's Ferry). “Rolling Green” the “fine Colonial mansion,” still to be seen on the north side of York Road, was owned by Benjamin Paxson at the time of the War for Independence. Paxson family history notes that, “a soldier, who was taken ill and died there after the army had moved on, was buried on the Paxson property.” In 1926 Henry D. Paxson told of ‘a relic preserved by the Paxson family … a wooden bowl left by a Continental soldier from a southern State, who had been taken ill with a fever and was nursed by the family [until his death].” The incident may have occurred during the Monmouth campaign, Henry Paxson claiming that Maj.
