What went wrong during the battle of Camden?

History

NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
7 0
<span>The Battle of Camden in South Carolina was a lopsided victory for the British during the American Revolutionary War. Despite the proliferation of dysentery among his men, Continental General Horatio Gates chose to engage British General Charles Cornwallis’s force on the morning of August 16, 1780. The illness depleted the Patriot advantage in troop numbers, and the British pressed forward aggressively as the sole side in possession of bayonets. With the encounter resulting in nearly 2,000 Patriots killed or taken prisoner and heavy losses of artillery, Gates was removed from command and replaced by Nathanael Greene.</span>

Write a four hundred word essay telling the significance the Battle of Saratoga had on the Continental Army and on the colonies.
ryzh [129]

The two Battles of Saratoga- which were fought eighteen days apart in September and October of 1777- changed the American Revolution. British General John Burgoyne was victorious over American forces -which were led by Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold- on September 19th.

After capturing Fort Ticonderoga, the British, who were led by General John Burgoyne, moved south giving the Americans time to regroup under Horatio Gates.

General George Washington sent Benedict Arnold, Colonel Daniel Morgan and his regiment of Virginia riflemen, and two brigades of Continentals from the Hudson Highlands. Gates’s strength was improved by about sixty-five hundred men.

Burgoyne attacked the Americans a second time at Bemis Heights on October 7th, and Arnold led an attack that captured key points, forcing the British to retreat to Saratoga.

On this occasion, Burgoyne was beat and 10 days later he retreated, and the victorious Americans made the French government become their ally during the war.

Napoleon and Psychological Warfare”—What themes did Napoleon use to play on the emotions of his troops and inspire them to great
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

He put out expectations and gave the men self-value.   He also put himself at risk of being killed.

Explanation:

At the siege of Toulon, when his artillery men were being bombarded hard by Allied troops, he renamed his battery, "The Battery of Men Without Fear."  The n just like that, his men returned fighting with extra morale.  Napoleon also charged and was stabbed at the battle of Toulon, nearly ending his life, but jaw-dropping morale boost for his men.  In the campaigns of Italy, he was nearly cut down by cannon fire and was covered in mud at Arcole.  It motivated his men to do an almost suicidal charge across the bridge, and they did win that battle, although taking heavy losses, they took 4000 men prisoner.  Before the invasion of Italy happened, he motivated his men with speeches before they marched.  These are just of Napoleon's examples of incerasing his men's morale, no wonder they would die for him, and stay loyal to him to the end.  Except Bernadotte that traitor.

The Neolithic Revolution A. Led people to lead lives based on hunting and gathering B. Allowed people to live in permanent settl
BartSMP [9]

Answer:  B. Allowed people to live in permanent settlements

Explanation:

The Neolithic Revolution was a period in human history where humans developed better agricultural techniques that allowed them to make food instead of hunting and gathering it.

The ability to grow food meant that humans had surpluses that could be stored and used to feed more people. People therefore stopped needing to migrate for food and therefore settled into permanent settlements.

Depending on the options provided, the correct answer is:

- Taking them over and running their financial affairs to pay their foreign debts.

- Not invading Germany.

In 1915, Haitian President Jean Vilbrun Guillaume Sam was murdered. US President, Wilson, feared a possible German invasion, so he sent the U.S. Marines to Haiti in order to prevent anarchy and protect American assets in the country. The Haitian-American Treaty of 1915 founded the Haitian Gendarmerie controlled by the U.S. Marines, and the United States obtained total control over Haitian finances.
