Including Invasion of Canada, Battles of saratoga, Battle of Cow pens,and Battle of Freeman's Farm. He introduced a new rifle that was much more accurate and lighter than the muskets used.His style of warfare (Guerrilla Warfare) helped him and their army defeat many British.

The British suffered many casualties and Tarleton fled with only 250 men left with him.

    The definition of a hero is “a person who is admired or idealized for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.” One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey shows a blurb on the back of the book that refers to him as “heroic,” this statement is false through textual evidence in the novel. McMurphy is not heroic because he is destructive towards the people he has hurt before going to the mental ward, as well as tampering with the others recovery by taunting the nurse and trying to break her down which prevents treatment for the patients that are actually mentally ill, and lastly his actions are a direct cause of a patient committing suicide. These actions by McMurphy label him as an unheroic person.…
