so the shards are embedded in the british army these pieces are close by broken. that is the most significant impact of the boston massacre so let me just conclude with a short passage that is the epilogue. >> we inherit the story of the american revolution from afar wider range of people as uncomplicated set of those a call it a civil war portray it as a struggle over the definition of a new country but it would be no less accurate to call the revolution a sibling war that played out in the other people with the same military occupation and with that conflict in its own way and every family was forced to make choices as difficult as they were inevitable. so that brought together civilians and soldiers and men and women throughout the british empire sometimes they tore them apart in the 18th century anglo-american world the family and government were closely connected that the shooting in boston marks not the beginning of the american revolution but the breakdown of a family. prior to 1772 they had long saturated political discourse but in the context of military

for the seven years war the british army in north america lost about 3 percent of the forces every year to desertion so that 29th regiment they lost 10 percent of their men. so they were not just fleeing army life nor were they just drawn to the beauty of massachusetts charming as it is when the army try to come to take back deserters the new communities often turned out to protect them the community officers were obviously deeply frustrated by the rate of desertion so at one point the colonel in charge decided they would hire us by two right around and look for deserters. it was quite successful but not very good at getting them to come back because they put down roots so just one story. just over the border in new hampshire they found a deserter of a man who lived there all winter now married to the landlord's daughter and starting a family. he was easily recognizable because he frequently wore his regimental jacket. [laughter] and continues to wear his jacket but never returned to the army he stayed in new hampshire and made a home there. so to the desertion rates and clark it s

over time the women and children associate with the 18th century british army have been forgotten. in the american imagination most of the men have been reduced to anonymous troops rather than considered as individuals. jean chambers was not and is not famous. our early life is lost to historians. we know neither when she was born know and what you she married. could she read or write? with matthew chambers her first love? had she ever dreamed of a life beyond ireland? the sources are silent on these questions. but other parts of her life including the choices she made, the family she created and the voyages she took had left traces. traces. the everyday life of an ordinary woman would become part of an extraordinary moment. so when jane and matthew chambers are boarding that ship that a part of the peacetime deployment. so for those of you who are little rusty on your mid 18th century history, going to give you a 30-second -- 22nd summer, i have one former student in his crowd is probably rolling his eyes, but very quickly. two years earlier, so 1763, britain had won the seven yea

during seven-year war the british army in north america lost about three percent of its forces everyear to desertion. in the first year and and a half that the 29th regiment was in boston, however, they lost a full 10% of their men. so these men were not just fleeing the unpleasantness of army life, nor were they just drawn to the beauty of massachusetts, charming as it is, they made new homes and when the army tried to come and take back deserters, their new communities often turned out to protect them. the commanding officers were obviously frustrated, deeply frustrated by the creative desertion so at one point the colonel decided she's gonna hire a spy to ride around the countryside and look for deserters. he's not very good at getting them to come back in part because they put down roots so just the one story, over the new hampshire border the farmer found it is a likely man in that language meant good-looking. having lived there all winter was now married to a woman named sarah forster his landlord's daughter and they were starting a family. he was easily recognizable, the infor

the british army did not get many british white replacements and 1944-45, so the indian army for a larger burden of the fighting. not, the indian army, gurkhas or british troops. much suppliedetty themselves and they had bases in india. they pretty much fought the war with what they have. they are ubiquitous -- american jeeps are ubiquitous throughout the theater. some aircraft were transferred to the raf. there are transfers of capability. he insists that they are undependable. his division and a half, maybe , theivisions in 1944 british battalions and the girl battalions. battalions. it's kind of a mixed picture and the numbers sometimes are misleading because you have lots but where you have tremendous logistical problems, you have a huge commitment of forces trying to keep the spear points supplied. is the allies eventually involve a slight majority. have one last question from the back. campaign seems to to the codaities ifpaign and i am curious there might have been applied lessons to the campaign in india. says but i don't think that they .ade any secure adjustments i think the sho

what happens when they are -- when they joined the british army and they are captured by americans? 1775 at a place called great bridge, virginia, immediately the revolutionaries are confronted. what kind of know what we need to do to these british soldiers. we are less sure about the white loyalists. and what do we do about the slaves? desirere is an initial to murder them right on the field of battle. one of the commanders has to intercede and prevent them from being murdered. he does this not out of humidity or the goodness of his heart, he wants to sell them and get the profit from it. many masters petition and say they want their property back, say this is my property, i want it back. even washington has to sign some of these. he does not seem to think it is a big problem, sending property back. throughout the war, african-americans in arms captured could be summarily executed on the spot. more often than not they are sold into slavery somewhere else. sold into the west indies. put on ships. privateer vessels. there is a salt and a lead mine in western pennsylvania where they s

gaelic speaking primarily, many catholics are going to make them seem uncivilized or alien to the british army, who is going to exacerbate this trend of violence. we see that -- that is less so than the american case, which is a mitigating factor for many of these british officers. yes. [ inaudible ] >> right, i can't quite recall the reference in the book to that. but the issue here at play, i think, is that the americans are shocked. hadn't seen war like this. it is worth keeping in mind that most of the american revolutionary war is fought right along the coast. the most settled places in north america. right. war used to be peripheral, distant. having the frontier, western pennsylvania, western new york, canada, the west indies. didn't have in borden town, new jersey. hadn't been major fighting like that since 1675. so war comes to these communities, they have never seen war. maybe one or two of the men in town had fought during the french and indian war, but many times not. so it is -- they have this idealized vision of what war should be, it is like a picture -- like a painting. that's w

and he had wanted to serve as an officer in the british army, that was part of a deal as it were. the british were cagey about what they were going to do for him. he wasn't a field officer very much for a while, because of his serious injury. and they kept saying no, don't worry, we'll take care of you. he knew that as soon as he went to the british he was going to lose all his property. everything that -- his property in pennsylvania and in connecticut. and so he really needed to have some kind of a position, and he wanted a military position. it was part of then arrangement, and then he was on these two, he had these two short campaigns. one in connecticut and one here in virginia. one of which sent jefferson fleeing from the -- from this area. >> other questions? last chance. >> now, one more. >> perhaps there's a lesson in the motivations that will seep yore commanders have, have you notices that the plot of the ilidea follows the story of benedict arnold so closely? at the center of which is a woman? >> yes, helen. >> i hadn't noticed that, but that's interesting. i don't thin

and they are skirmishing almost daily with the british army until july, after which the british army disappears onto ships in new york harbor and into the atlantic. july and august are spent marching daily in the heat of northern new jersey. in late august, even though washington needed to stop the british army from attacking philadelphia -- i think one of washington's most magnanimous acts, he stopped them from seizing the hudson river valley. it's there, fast forwarding to september and october of 1777, on this great land above the hudson river, that morgan wins not just a national but an international reputation. he is once again commanded by benedict arnold. gates is a near neighbor of his in virginia. they have drunk rum together. one begins to wonder when reads morgan's letters who hasn't he drunk rum with other than george washington. morgan, during the battle, used his men like a sniper rifle. he killed officers, artillerymen, horses. he broke apart opposing british formations. even more importantly, i think, than his performance in the battle was the unseen, unheard scouting

and he had wanted to serve as an officer in the british army. so that was, i guess, part of a deal as it were. the british were very cagey about what they were going to do for him. he wasn't a field officer very much for a while because of his serious injury. and they kept saying, don't worry, we'll take care of you. we'll take care of you. but he knew as soon as went to the british he was going to lose all his prouperty, you know, hi property in pennsylvania and in connecticut. and so he really needed to have some kind of position. he wasn'tednted a military posi. it was part of the arrangement. he had the two short campaigns, one in connecticut and one here in virginia. and one of which sent jefferson actually fleeing from this area. >> other questions? last chance. all right. now -- wait, one more. >> perhaps there is a lesson in the motivation that's superior commanders have. have you noticed the plot follows the story of benedict arnold so closely? and at the certainty of which is a woman. >> yes. helen. i haven't noticed that. that's intere

the historian of the british army was scathing about carlton having decided to go back to canada. very different it would have been the british had been commanded by such men as arnold, he said, whose amazing skill, gallantry, make him the hero of the short campaign. so after that, arnold went with gates south to washington's camp, and he was there about the time that washington decided to cross the delaware and attacked trenton. by the way, washington had to do that because the men were on such short enlistments that if he waited any longer, his army would have gone home to us a while he had them under his command, they crossed the delaware and were able to conquer trenton, and it was a great victory for that time. congress decided that it was really important to give washington an army with longer enlistments, but they exacted something from him for that. they deprived washington of the power of appointing or discharging any of his general officers. we read about all of the soldiers of fortune from france and germany coming across to join the continental army. they were given co
