  • 'Deprived of Their Liberty'

    '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.

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.

BOSTON Alfred Mddge & Son, Printers, 24 Franklin Street. A^Jt.T mo i. Cheeked dCLIBP. 4 OR, LENOX AND EN FOUNDATIONS. L To the Men of Kittery who gave their lives on land and sea, in battle or in prison, from 1775 to 1783, that this country might be free, and that their example may speak to com- ing generations, this volume is respectfully inscribed. By Lieut. OLIVER P. REMICK, Engineer Corps, U. S. Revenue Cutter Service. Member of the Maine Historical Society and the Maine Genealogical Society. PREFACE. Kittery, at the commencement of the war for Independence, was composed of the present towns of Kittery and Eliot, and this record takes in the soldiers and sailors of both towns ; but Eliot's soldiers are not mentioned as such in their individual records, but one can tell by the parish or militia company residence of the man, in which town as now constituted he lived ; whenever the word "town" occurs in the following pages, it refers to and means the old town of Kittery as it was in 1775. The town at that time was divided into three parishes, viz., first, or lower ; second, or upper ; and third, or middle. The first parish was that part of the town south of a line, commencing at Ports- mouth Ferry, near the old Rice House, and running north fifty-four degrees east, to the town of York.
