Cato's War: A Novel Of The American Revolution by Guy Wheeler In 1789 he was selected to be the delegate from Northampton County to the state constitutional convention meeting that year. Cato as it plainly appears was never oversparing of his own praises, and seldom shunned boasting of any exploit; which quality, indeed, he seems to have thought the natural accompaniment of great actions; and with these particular exploits he was highly puffed up; he says that those who saw him that day pursuing and slaying the enemies were ready to assert that Cato owed not so much to the public as the public did to Cato; nay, he adds, that Manius the consul, coming hot from the fight, embraced him for a great while, when both were all in a sweat; and then cried out with joy that neither he himself, no, nor all the people together, could make him a recompense equal to his actions. It is likely that there were scattered dramatic performances of a sort in all the Colonies many years before we have any records of them, particularly in the South where the prejudice against the stage was less violent than in the North, but singularly enough it is in the Puritanical New England provinces that we find the first actual records of public theatricals, and in Quaker Philadelphia that the drama first found a permanent home. Cato Neimoidia By 1732 the population had more than doubled, and it was rapidly becoming a gay and cosmopolitan town. He begins thus: My merry hearts, you are to know me as a gentleman, lawyer, poet, actor, soldier, sailer, exciseman, publican, in England, Scotland, Ireland, New York, East and West Jersey, Maryland, Virginia on both sides Cheesapeek , North and South Carolina, South Florida, Bahamas, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and often a coaster by all the same.

Sir Richard Steele, catering to the new public taste for sentimental comedy, had won immediate success with The Conscious Lovers. He writes: Which of your actors shone most in the play, next to Isabinda who, I take it for granted, is the Oldfield of the theatre? The austerity and strictness he was known for before were at their apex in his censorship, where he, along with his longtime ally L.

  • Freeborn Men of Color: the Franck Brothers in Revolutionary North America, 1755-1820
    FREEBORN MEN OF COLOR: THE FRANCK BROTHERS IN REVOLUTIONARY NORTH AMERICA, 1755-1820 Shirley L. Green A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2011 Committee: Ruth Wallis Herndon, Advisor Radhika Gajjala Graduate Faculty Representative Lillian Ashcraft-Eason Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina Rebecca Mancuso © 2011 Shirley Louise Swan Green All Rights Reserved iii Abstract Ruth Wallis Herndon, Advisor This dissertation examines the lives of William and Ben Franck, freeborn men of color, who used military service as a means to assert their manhood, gain standing in their community, and help to create free African American and African Canadian communities during the Revolutionary Era. It focuses on the lives and experiences of the Franck family from the 1750s, when Rufus Franck served in the French and Indian War, until the 1820s, when his younger son, Ben Franck, settled in Nova Scotia. At each step of the story, this study analyzes the communities of free people of color with whom the Franck brothers interacted. In doing so, this project challenges traditional narratives and stereotypes of African Americans during the Colonial and Revolutionary Eras. The Franck brothers’ individual histories, closely analyzed, have the power to expand the prism through which we view early American people of color, so that we see their reality more sharply in three ways. 1. The establishment of free families of color and communities throughout North America, from the pre-Revolutionary period until postwar America, was limited by social prejudices and legal prohibitions.

  • Substitutes, Servants and Soldiers
    Substitutes, Servants and Soldiers: The Black Presence at New Windsor Cantonment in the Massachusetts and New Hampshire Lines By Matt Thorenz Initially presented as "Black Patriots Revealed: African-Americans in the Continental Army,” February 12, 2012 at New Windsor Cantonment State Historic Site. On the morning of April 19th, 1775, Cato Bordman, a “negro” from Cambridge, Massachusetts, answered the call to arms as a member of Captain Samuel Thatcher’s Co. of militia. Facing him was a column of 700-1500 British redcoats under the command of General Thomas Gage. Although his service lasted one day, Bordman nonetheless participated in; what is arguably, the most important day in American history. Two months later, on June 17, another African American, Philip Abbot of Captain Benjamin Ame’s Company, Colonel James Frye’s Regiment of militia, was killed while defending Breed’s Hill from the frontal assault of General William Howe’s army of over 3,000 British soldiers. Philip was believed to have been a servant of Nathan Abbot and was acting as substitute in his master’s stead1. From the first shots being fired at Lexington Green in the spring of 1775, to the final discharge of troops at New Windsor and West Point in the summer of 1783, African Americans played an important part in defending a revolution that championed freedoms and independence to some, while justifying the subjugation and enslavement of others. The stories that can be gleaned from the historic record of those Black soldiers that served in the Massachusetts and New Hampshire Lines at the New Windsor Cantonment of 1782-1783 are just some examples of how African Americans found common ground among their white comrades in the service of their country while living in a time of prejudice and inequality.

No man except the bravest of the brave would be bold enough to depart on that journey. Merciless smugglers, deserters, and gunrunners, both rebels and redcoats or just acting for themselves, controlled the pond and the land surrounding it. Their monopoly often challenged by the British Royal Navy that was scouting for the rebel privateers and sometimes, but very rarely, for British refugees crossing the Sound under the flag of truce. From all these British sailors and officers, the rebels were particularly afraid of a notorious captain William Quarme who was in charge of the sixteen-gun brig Halifax and was very often accompanied on his voyages by the ruthless Queens Rangers.
