In 1783,Newburgh Conspiracy sought to highlight the need for a stronger national government and used army officers to threaten a coup d'état.
<h3>What was Newburgh Conspiracy?</h3>
The Newburgh Conspiracy was an failed apparent threat by leaders of the Continental Army in March 1783, at the end of the American Revolutionary War. By early 1783, widespread unrest had created an atmosphere ripe for mutiny. In the end, however, George Washington defused the situation with an eloquent, personal plea to his officers to remain loyal to Congress, in the process perhaps saving the fate of the American Revolution. Whether the events at Newburgh occurred at the nationalists' prompting or, as some historians suggest, was actually a coup d’état planned by a few extreme members of the army led by Washington’s rival General Horatio Gates, remains uncertain. On March 10, a meeting of officers was anonymously called for the following day in the camp at Newburgh.
