P a g e | 1 NATIONAL HISTORY CHALLENGE: MAKING A BETTER WORLD To what extent was Marquis de Lafayette, prior to 1834, responsible for positive social change? DARCY SORENSEN CASUARINA SENIOR COLLEGE Darwin, Northern Territory Word count: 1956 words P a g e | 2 Prior to 1834, Marquis de Lafayette was prominently responsible for positive social change. Given the title “hero of two worlds”1 Lafayette disobeyed the orders of Louis XXVI to fight for freedom in the American Revolution. Furthermore, influenced by the ideals of the American Revolution Lafayette worked to abolish slavery in America. In addition, with his position in the French National Assembly Lafayette helped install positive social change. Lafayette’s influence on positive social reforms was also present when he incessantly campaigned for the right to religious freedom in France. However, while his influence was predominantly positive, Lafayette’s influence on society plummeted with his involvement in the Champ De Mars Massacre. On “June 13th, 1777”2 Marquis de Lafayette disobeyed the French government and journeyed to America to fight in the American Revolution. By defying the orders of King Louis XVI Lafayette became one of the key individuals who ensured the freedom of America from Britain’s rule. A significant instance of Lafayette’s military prowess in the fight for freedom was at the Battle of the Brandywine beginning “September 11th, 1777”3. Despite being Lafayette’s first battle, and suffering a bullet wound to the leg, the Frenchman “gallantly fought on and rallied the troops, facilitating an orderly retreat”4 of the troops that saved many lives.

Vance will receive a gold medal and cash award at a reception held during Book Expo America on May 11, 2016 in Chicago. “I’m very pleased that Becoming Valley Forge received this honor,” said Vance. “My novel certainly tells the story of what happened when the war came to the backyards of ordinary people who lived in the Philadelphia region during the Philadelphia Campaign of the Revolutionary War.” The Midwest Book Review, in April 2016, said of Becoming Valley Forge, “Although a work of fiction, author Sheilah Vance has included a great deal of historically factual background details in her stirring saga of a novel. Impressively well written from beginning to end, "Becoming Valley Forge" is highly recommended for both community and academic library Historical Fiction collections.” Becoming Valley Forge dramatically answers the question of what happens when the war comes to your backyard. In this case the war is the Revolutionary War, and the backyards are of those people in the Valley Forge area whose lives were disrupted during the Philadelphia Campaign, a series of battles and maneuvers from the Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777 to the encampment at Valley Forge from December 1777 to June 1778.

    "SUCH DISORDERS CAN ONLY BE CURED BY COPIOUS BLEEDINGS": THE CORRESPONDENCE OF ISAAC CRAIG DURING THE WHISKEY REBELLION Edited by Kenneth A. White of the surprisingly underutilized sources on the early history Oneof Pittsburgh is the Craig Papers. Acase inpoint is Isaac Craig's correspondence during the Whiskey Rebellion. Although some of his letters from that period have been published, 1 most have not. This omission is particularly curious, because only a few eyewitness ac- counts of the insurrection exist and most ofthose were written from an Antifederalist viewpoint. These letters have a value beyond the narration of events, how- ever. One of the questions debated by historians is why the federal government resorted to force to put down the insurrection. Many have blamed Alexander Hamilton for the action, attributing it to his per- sonal approach to problems or to his desire to strengthen the central government. 2 These critics tend to overlook one fact : government officials make decisions based not only on their personal philosophy but also on the facts available to them.

  • Birth of the American NCO at Valley Forge

    Birth of the American NCO at Valley Forge

    Valley Forge 1 Birth of the American NCO at Valley Forge A search through American military antiquity for the birth of the American Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) Corps led me to Valley Forge, 1777-78. Faced with demoralizing combat failures, severe shortages of food and supplies, woefully under trained and undisciplined troops, and a harsh winter ahead, the Continental Army limped into Valley Forge for the winter, leaving doubt about the Revolution's hope for success. Many things soon changed, including the role of the NCO. Many factors influenced this transformation of the Continental NCO at Valley Forge. The birth of the American NCO Corps was the result of European precedent, Continental Army leadership gaps, and the Valley Forge experience. The European precedent played a significant role in the shaping of the Continental NCO. Of particular importance is the evolution of the European NCO, the colonists fighting alongside the British Army during the Seven Years War, and the colonial adoption of the British militia system. Europe had done a great deal of experimenting with the role of the NCO prior to the American Revolution leaving much for the colonists to consider. European practices and traditions proved to influence both the colonial militias and the Continental Army. The role of the European sergeant was very defined prior to the American Revolution so naturally the model for the Continental NCO would mirror in many ways. The English, French, Dutch and German continued to improve military equipment, tactics and professionalism throughout the 16th and 1i h centuries. Through this evolution, the role of the sergeant took shape.

    A Yellow Springs Walking Tour

    A YELLOW SPRINGS WALKING TOUR Historic Yellow Springs | 1685 Art School Road | Chester Springs, PA 19425 As we begin, you are standing on the South porch of the Lincoln Building. If you face south you are about 6 miles from the Great Wagon Road that you know as Route 30. The road you are looking at below you is today called Yellow Springs Road. It was long called the White Horse Road because it led to the White Horse Tavern, a building still extant today at 606 Swedesford Road in Frazer. Today Yellow Springs Road proceeds south through the north rim of the Great Valley and ends near Great Valley High School. The Lincoln Building; where we begin. Notice the change in elevation as you drive up and down hills. Then, stop to realize this: on the evening of September 16, 1777, 10,000 American soldiers marched for 12 hours in a driving rain from the White Horse Tavern to the Yellow Springs. Many came up the road you are looking at including George Washington and his aide Alexander Hamilton. While at the “Yellow Springs” they reported to Congress that the army had no ammunition of any use and needed to march to Warwick and Redding Furnaces to retrieve dry gunpowder. At the time Washington and Hamilton wrote that letter the building behind you was a stable. As you look out towards Yellow Springs Road, you see an array of buildings. Beginning to the east (your left) is another barn which may also date to the time of the American Revolution.

    THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE I remember this one teacher. To me, he was the greatest teacher, a real sage of my time. He had much wisdom. We were all reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and he walked over. Mr. Lasswell was his name … He said: “I’ve been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word. I – me, an individual, a committee of one. Pledge – dedicate all my worldly goods to give without self-pity. Allegiance – my love and my devotion. To the Flag – our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Where ever she waves, there is respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody’s job. Of the United – that means that we have all come together. States – individual communities that have united into 48 states, 48 individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose, all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that’s love of country.
