    On 11 October 1781, General Cornwallis wrote to his superior commander in New York, "The enemy made their first parallel on the night of the 6th at the distance of 600 yards and have perfected it and constructed places of arms and batteries with great regularity and caution. On the evening of the 9th, their batteries opened and have since continued firing without intermission with about 40 pieces of cannon, mostly heavy, and 16 mortars ... many of our works are considerably damaged; with such works on disadvantageous ground against so powerful an attack, we cannot hope to make a very long resistance."

    The title, 1775: A Good Year for Revolution, may sound like a more modest undertaking, though its size -- well over 500 pages -- indicates otherwise. In some sense, the argument is simple: 1775, not 1776, was the real hinge of American history, the moment when independence transformed from a possibility to a reality. Indeed, it was only the tremendous sense of momentum that came out of 1775, especially in terms of the string of victories Phillips dubs "the Battle of Boston," that allowed the Patriot cause to absorb the many military blows that followed the Declaration, years in which the "rage militaire" (Phillips) of '75 largely dissipated, especially in the South. "The spirit of '76," by contrast, was a bicentennial marketing device. But the scope of the book is in fact much wider. Phillips offers a sweeping interpretation of the coming of the Revolution that encompasses familiar topics like politics and economics as well as less familiar ones like the logistics of international gunpowder supply and naval tactics. He also foregrounds the interplay between culture and geography, paying special attention to the dynamics of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Virginia and South Carolina, whose role he sees as pivotal (Connecticut and South Carolina too often overlooked). There's also a fine chapter on the…

    General George Washington knew that most of his men 's enlistments were up soon after the battle of Trenton. Their morale after the defeat was very low and nearly ninety-percent of the troops, who fought the battle of Long Island, left the army and went back. Soldiers felt that they were fighting for a losing cause, and General Washington faced a tough task of holding up the troops for the battles ahead. The enlistment terms of most of the soldiers were about to expire at the end of the year. So Washington planned an attack on Trenton to try and revive confidence in his men. This would prove to be a fruitful plan. After the attack…

    During the time of the American Revolution, there were many battles that took place and affected the Revolution. One battle though, made a huge impact on the American Revolution. The Battle of Saratoga proved that the disadvantaged and weaker American forces were strong enough to overpower the British forces. It all started when General John Burgoyne needed to get his forces to Albany. He and his army headed across the Hudson River, where they would then take a road south-ward to Albany. Burgoyne knew the enemy (American forces) were in the area, but he did not know of their exact location. Leading to the Battles of Bemis Heights and Freeman's Farm, the Battle of Saratoga became known as a highly significant battle of the American Revolution. These battles were a necessity to the victory of the Revolution for the Americans.…

    The revolutionary war is perhaps the most important and well known event in the history of the United States. The war began in 1775 and ended in 1783, in the beginning of the war it had just been America facing Great Britain and overtime nations such as France and Spain joined just to see Great Britain knocked down in power without the help from these nations America would have certainly lost the Revolutionary war.
