He aided George Washington, a well-known american general, during many of the battles. George Washington and Pulaski helped the Americans greatly during the American Revolution. During one of the battles, Pulaski did one of the most unexpected and shocking things ever. He saved George Washington's life, while risking his own. The British were about to kill Washington, but Pulaski charged at the opposite army and prevented them from killing Washington. While he was charging at the opposite army, he suffered a wound.

It explains how many of the colonists were converted from citizens who were proud members of the British Empire, to people who took up arms against that same empire. The Parliament was given many reasons on why they were able to legally tax the colonists even though the colonists were not able to elect any of the members of the Parliament themselves. The British believed in something called virtual representation; meaning that members of the Parliament virtually represented all parts of the empire, rather than representing the interests of a specific district or region.…

    It is evident in the difference between what they had to say at the end of the war and what they had to say three years later. In the Chickasaw Chiefs' message to Congress at the end of the war that they had high hopes for repairing their relationship, despite the assistance they had given the British (Doc. C). However, three years later, it is obvious that the Americans had no intention of reconciliation. In a speech at the Confederate council, one Indian said "It is now more than three years since peace was made between the King of Great Britain and you, but we, the Indians, were disappointed, finding ourselves not included in that peace…" (Doc. E) From this time on, the relationship between the Indians and the Americans spun out of control, eventually resulting in the decrease in Indian population and loss of their native land.…

Whenever there is a conflict between two sides, it is usually between the wealthy and the powerful and the average colonists.

The wealthy and powerful elites felt that their freedoms had been violated and abused by the British rule and the average colonists felt that their government failed to include them in the major decisions that were being made. The ideal government among the American elites and colonists was a limited and transparent government.…
