On September 15, 1776 British warships took their position on Kip’s Bay. Their intentions were to protect a flotilla of boats that were transporting 4,000 British soldiers to Manhattan. American soldiers under the command of Colonel William Douglas put up a weak resistance before they crumbled and ran. General Washington, who witnessed the spectacle from a hilltop, attempted to reorganize the Patriot lines to no avail. General Rufus Putnam gathered the Continental troop and marched them toward Harlem Heights on the west side of Manhattan. The Red Coats also marched in the same direction, but on the eastern side of the island. The Battle of Kip’s Bay secured control of New York City by the British and that would remain until the end of the…

pivotal role for the rebels. It was a great moral booster because of it being the first rebel victory; as well as providing strategic geographical placement as well as ammunition. The fort went on the play a pivotal role in the Siege of Boston the following Spring; as well as a place for the Continental Army to regroup before attacking British controlled areas of Canada.

You are not alone.” Shut up, you freakin’ mirror. I got up and ran off all of the guilt that I could back to the tree, and shot off more people putting anger into every bullet. One-by-one, my bullets were taking them down. General sees me and gives me a salute, probably for my incredible marksmanship. Or possibly getting over Bobby dying. Anyway, we had about twice as many soldiers now, and the British had no chance. They had no chance, but to… “Retreat!” yelled General William Howe, the…

I had an opportunity to read a fascinating book called 1776 by David McCullough; which is his tenth Book he has written on the subject. In this endearing novel he describes several significant issues that George Washington had to overcome to secure his ultimate victory in 1783. The book also describes the first year of the American Revolution, especially the triumph of Boston and the failure at New York and the successful attack on Trenton. The author details the challenges of creating and…

As authors Neil Howe and William Strauss explore in their study, “The Next 20 Years: How Customer and Workforce Attitudes Will Evolve” insight into how each generation has influenced the other with its new developments of values and perceptions is provided, thus ultimately giving reason to why marriage is conceptualized the way it is today. The GI Generation arrived after the Great Awakening in the nineteenth century, where they faced hardships of war and depression, yet managed in…

are core traits that have become associated with millennials and other anthropologists have different views on this statement made by the Howe and Strauss. Richard H. Mullendore states, “Their battles have not been similar to anything those other students have faced.” Supporting Howes’s statement on millennials being special, we are led to believe that millennials are special because they have not only caused new experiences for their own generation, but for the past generations living among us.…
