Back then a patriot would naturally have fought against the French-backed traitors (Washington & Co.) with their ludicrous pretext for shirking their obligations to King and Country and for biting the hand that fed them.
Unfortunately the British government was far too lackadaisical and lenient in its prosecution of the war, and there were too many incompetents in charge. | re: 1775 Lexington and Concord how would posters have answered the call? (karma: 2)

If i had been in the war i would have been in the 17th Foot, my local regt, the best chance lardmangled would have had to shoot me would be Princeton, when the 17th (and 55th) skewered 7 rebel officers
BTW why do you consider Princeton a victory
Did Washingtonps army win? I think not. True, as the smoke settled it was
Washington's army who held the ground, but for how long? By the time the
first shots were fired Lord Cornwallis and General Leslie had discovered
Washington's ruse and were already hot on his heels -- in fact the British
arrived in full force and regained the town within an hour without a contest.
So what did Washington have to show for his "victory"?
* The British had successfully brought off almost all of their baggage and
the Continentals couldn't transport the little that was left (or the abandoned
British cannon) due to a lack of horses.
* Washington had lost his element of surprise -- Brunswick had been alerted and
he now had to give up any attempt at capturing the £70,000 British war chest
(money that was desperately needed to supply his ragged army). Washington
himself greatly lamented this loss in later correspondence.
* Washington's men were exhausted -- some of them couldn't keep up with the
retreat from Princeton and were captured before they got to Morristown.
Also, the army's blankets had been accidentally packed off to Burlington
and they would spend several very cold nights without them. Coupled with
the troop's fatigue, this must have been a contributing factor in the high
death toll suffered at Morristown that winter.
* Washington had also lost several of his key officers. Hugh Mercer, one of
the ablest officers in the Continental Army, lay dying with seven bayonet
wounds. Colonel John Haslet was dead -- his Delaware Regiment had been one
of the finest fighting units of the entire war and although their enlistments
had expired and they were not involved in the battle, Haslet's death demoralized
his remaining officers to the extent that the regiment was never re-raised.
Also dead were Captain Daniel Neil of New Jersey, one of the Army's most
capable artillery officers, and Captain John Flemming of the First Virginia
Regiment. In all seven of Washington's officers and about 60 men were killed
at Princeton.
What did Washington gain? Historians tell us Washington's "victory" at Princeton
caused the withdrawal of the British outposts in New Jersey. In fact this
move was already being considered by the British -- even before Trenton.
All Washington really had to show for the battle was that he got the remains
of his army safely to Morristown.
The battle's close connection with the indisputable victory at Trenton
has served to turn Princeton into an American victory, and it was indeed
a victory in terms of morale for the Continental troops. But we mustn't
loose sight of the fact that Washington was in fact RETREATING when he stumbled
upon the troops at Princeton. The last thing he wanted at this point was
a fight, and the engagement at Princeton blew his chances for the victory
he desperately wanted and needed at Brunswick.
The entire battle of Princeton had lasted less than half an hour. Three British
regiments of foot, some invalids, and a corps of Light Dragoons had temporarily
halted the advance of the entire Continental army, some 6,000 strong. They
had also kept the baggage train and the British war chest from falling into
enemy hands. Washington's loss in officers, men, and the bungled chance
at capturing the war chest surely outweighed his gains, and the brave men
of the 17th, 55th, and 40th foot, and the 16th Light Dragoons certainly
deserve more credit than the history books give them. | re: 1775 Lexington and Concord how would posters have answered the call? en>fr fr>en By starspangled Comments: 23412, member since Sat Dec 27, 2003On Wed Nov 19, 2008 07:50 PM

I'm disappointed in you Nappy.
You know we had made no agreements with France when Lexington and Concord were fought (1775).
We didn't begin courting France for a treaty until 1776, and the treaty wasn't signed until 1778.

Pigheaded english cunts who wanted to crush their own citizens (and blood-kin) with an iron fist for merely expecting and demanding the same Natural Rights as you islanders. Fuck off. You fucked up, Big Time.

Bullshit. If you don't understand the concept of ALL citizens of a country being under ONE set of laws, or the concept of a representative, parliamentary constitutional monarchy outright disenfranchising their entire colonial population and then punishing them for demanding their rights as englishmen, then go back and reread my post or better yet pick up a history book that wasn't written by some loyalist limey.

We are not like you.If we have been at war with english, it is because they tried to destroy our country very often or threatened our way of life.
It started with the 100 years war. Where they tried to invade us during more than 110 years.
They oppressed people from quebec during many years. Attacked our islands.
Tried to block seas to prevent us to make trade.
I talked with honest brits. A part of them are simply jealous.And you know that jealousy can be deadly ?
In short, you are wrong 100%. When brits are correct, we will not try to undermine them. | re: 1775 Lexington and Concord how would posters have answered the call? en>fr fr>en By simplefrench Comments: 54741, member since Wed Mar 19, 2003On Wed Nov 19, 2008 10:47 PM
i forgot. You heard about the French revolution ? rather famous.
English took the side of the royalists and even invaded Toulon to prevent our revolution.
like they did with your revolution. And france had attacked nobody. it was a civil war.

Oh yeah we've heard of the french bloodbath and the reign of terror. I agree with the limeys on that one. Your proto-socialist revolution threatened all the monarchies of europe, end result: napoleon and imperial conterrevolution...just more blood, achieving nothing. French revolutionary thought continues to pollute the world to this day with its ends-justify-the-means, blatantly evil influence.

Our capitalism and way of life saved Europe by containing and eventually defeating Soviet / Communist expansion.
Don't forget that while France has contributed commendably to its own self-defence, unlike other countries, American hard work, sweat and tears saved Western Europe from the fate of Eastern Europe.

bush is still president, spineless worm. Maybe we'll calm down while europe is invaded by arab and african muslims. europeans needs to pay for their ancestor's colonial crimes. arab and black muslims must be be represented in european govts. That's the type of change that we can all believe in.

Poor starspangled. Americans are for the entry of turkey in the EU.They are muslims.
And in fact,in the past,there were few difference between Nazi and Wasp.
Wasp thought almost the same thing but a soften version. |
