Quotes regarding American Revolution Timeline: Important Political Dates.
By What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no pa it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected from 1760–1775, in the course of fifteen years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington. Letter to Thomas Jefferson, August 24, 1815By THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the serv but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is

Was Major General Charles Lee a traitor to the Patriot cause?
Historians debate both sides of this question. Certainly, Lee was a traitor to the British Empire as he joined the Continental Army at the outset of the Revolution while receiving half pay as a retired British Lt. Colonel.
Was he also a traitor to the Patriot cause after his 12 months of British captivity during which he faced potential execution for treason? However, Lee was exchanged for British Major General Prescott and returned to a senior command in the Continental Army.
Leading the Continental Army's lead elements in his first battle less than two months later, Lee's quick retreat after only one volley during the Battle of Monmouth, New Jersey is hard to explain. The impetus to retreat was not his personal courage in combat as Lee exhibited prior battlefield leadership proficiency in three other armies. As a result of Lee’s inexplicable actions at Monmouth, Washington relieved him of command during the heat of the battle and contemporaries became wary of his allegiances.
In 1858, an incriminating document entitled “Mr. Lee’s Plan”, a military strategy for defeating the Patriots was discovered among British Revolutionary War military papers. One can read this document as a “smoking gun”, but it could also be viewed as a clever ruse to misguide British military strategy.
With respect to his real (or final) loyalties Lee took to them to his grave, leaving us with the unanswered question as to his unwavering commitment to the patriot cause. What we do know with certainty that after the Battle of Monmouth, he never regained the trust of Congress and never again commanded an American military unit.Looking for more of the latest headlines on LinkedIn?
