African Americans served in the Continental Army. In 1777, Boyrereau Brinch, an enslaved African, joined the Continental Army. I

n 1783, he was honorably discharged and, because of his military service, freed from slavery.
I also entered the banners of freedom. Alas! Poor African Slave, to liberate these freemen, my own tyrants. I went into Capt. [Samuel] Granger’s company. We marched to Frog Plain, from there to Second Hill between Reading and Ridgold. General Worcester commanded the British under the command of General Howe, who attacked us. We beat them back; the fight was continued all day, and the victory was sometimes doubtful.
Finally, I was in the battles at Cambridge, White Plains, Monmouth, Princeton, Newark, Frog’s Point, Horseneck where I had a ball [bullet] pass through my knapsack. All of which are battles the reader can obtain a more perfect account of from history than I can give. At last we returned to West Point and were discharged, as the war was over. Thus was I, a slave for five years fighting for liberty. After we were disbanded, I returned to my old master at Woodbury [Connecticut], with whom I lived one year, my services in the American war having emancipated me from further slavery and from being bartered or sold. Here I enjoyed the pleasures of a freeman; my food was sweet, my labor pleasure: and one bright gleam of life seemed to shine upon me.

Compare and contrast the development of the Chesapeake and New England colonies, and account for why the major differences in de
shutvik [7]

Answer:

In both the New England and Chesapeake regions, English colonists established settler colonies based on agriculture, in contrast to French trading posts in Canada. These settlements were based on some form of agriculture and had some measure of self-sufficiency, especially in New England. For example, permanent settlements were established at both Jamestown in the Chesapeake and Boston in Massachusetts Bay. The economies of the New England and Chesapeake colonies were very different. The New England colonies had a more diverse economy which included shipping, lumber, and export of food crops. On the other hand, the Chesapeake colonies' economy focused almost exclusively on the production and export of tobacco and a few other cash crops. This focus on cash crops fostered a need for slave labor in the Chesapeake. As a result, more enslaved Africans went to the Chesapeake than New England. The New England climate and terrain was not suitable for growing cash crops like tobacco. A plantation economy did not develop in New England because plantation crops would not grow. In the Chesapeake, however, the soil, weather, and flat terrain were excellent for tobacco growing. Had the climate of Virginia been more similar to Connecticut, it’s reasonable to say the two colonies would have been very similar. The sharp contrast in the climates and terrain accounts for much of the difference in the development of the two regions.

One key difference between Bentham’s and Mill’s respective versions of utilitarianism is that …
grigory [225]

Below are the differences between Bentham’s and Mill’s respective versions of utilitarianism:

1. The qualitative distinction

Bentham pots concede to any distinction in propensities yet Mill arranged human inclinations and by ethical news of subjective contrast called some honorable and another base. Along these lines, it is said that scholarly propensities are far better than physiological inclinations. 



2. Qualitative distinction in pleasures:


Similarly, Mill made subjective refinements in various joys. As indicated by Bentham, all delights are comparable. In the event that the amount of joy is the same, at that point, there is no distinction amongst verse and pushpin. As opposed to this, as indicated by Mill, 'It is ideal to be a person disappointed than a pig fulfilled, better to be a Socrates disappointed than a trick fulfilled.

Why did congress pass the chinese exclusion act
VARVARA [1.3K]

In the year 1882, the U.S senate passed the Chinese Exclusion act and was signed by President Chester A. Arthur. During the time period, there was many immigrants, especially Chinese, that immigrated to the United States, which caused a lot of labor. Congress decided to pass this law because a lot of Chinese people were illegally immigrating to the United States and taking away the jobs that the American Citizens wanted. The Act caused the Chinese to be ineligible for naturalization, meaning that they can't become a citizen. Because of the act, the Chinese population in the U.S during that time declined tremendously.
