<em /><em />The answer is <em>William Prescott</em><em />

William Prescott was an American Colonel in the Revolutionary War who commanded the patriots in the Battle of Bunker Hill. Prescott was in command of 1,200 troops with the order to defend Bunker's Hill and Breed's Hill, both being located near Charleston, South Carolina. At daybreak of June 17, 1775, after the American patriots had finished fortifying each of the positions, the British finally realized the presence of the patriots. After they had become aware of their presence, they launched three assaults on the patriots defending the two positions.
 
After the second assault, the Patriots had started to get a little low on ammo and became a little discouraged in their chances, so William Prescott delivered his famous quote, " Do not fire until you can see the whites of their eyes." 

The third and final assault resulted in the patriots running out of ammo and eventually retreating to Cambridge. Although, the British technically won, they had received heavy losses in their men, which resulted in their being a little more cautious when attacking the American Patriots. The Battle resulted in an approximate 450 Patriot soldiers losing their lives, to the almost 1,100 British who lost their lives in this intense skirmish.

How did Hoover and Roosevelt differ in their response to the Great Depression?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Herbert Hoover was under the impression that the stock market crash of 1929 was a simple market correction, that it would go away if everybody just acted like everything was normal, and that markets simply do these things from time to time. Billboards circa 1930 with the blurb "Wasn't the depression terrible?" kind of summed up his tone-deaf approach to massive unemployment and runs on banks. He honestly believed that government intervention was not the answer.

By the time Roosevelt took office in 1933, he understood that no quick solutions were to be had. He did start a lot of public works projects, like the Works Projects Administration (which gave a lot of people short-term employment teaching, painting post office murals, and cleaning up public lands) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (which put a lot of broke farmers to work putting a utilities infrastructure in place in parts of the South, putting the pieces of a post-agricultural economy in place).

He also instituted several "bank holidays" to discourage panic-driven depositors from taking all their money out of their banks. Austerity became the new normal in America and stayed that way until the US entered World War II.
