Synopsis
Excerpt from The First American Civil War, Vol. 1 of 2: First Period 1775-1778 With Chapters on the Continental or Revolutionary Army and on the Forces of the Crown
OF this portentous War Of Disunion the following pages take but slight notice Of four minor episodes.
Clinton's ill-advised expedition to Charleston, not, indeed, Of his own choosing; the foolish and feeble attack on Canada by Montgomery and Benedict Arnold; the wasteful and purposeless occupation Of Rhode Island; and the evil counsels which sent St. Leger to Stanwix with a body Of men less numerous than the advance troops of a modern reconnaissance, must have had some influence on the struggle, but being in themselves either failures in execution, or futile in project, it has been thought prudent not to overload these chapters with extended notice Of them.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a priceless historical account of the turbulent times just before and during the American Civil War, from the perspective of the unknown soldiers who perished on either side. The author laments the fact that these soldiers were frequently subjected to neglect and abuse by their fellow citizens, with the British dismissed as the "scum of the earth," and the Americans denounced as looters and thugs. In reality, the author demonstrates, both factions were composed of ordinary people who believed they were fighting for a just cause. The book offers a unique insight into the human cost of war and the ways in which it can bring out both the best and worst in humanity. It is a timely reminder of the sacrifices made by those who have fought in conflicts throughout history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330663349_0
