  • Robert Smalls, a slave, commandeers Planter and escapes At 04:00 on 13 May 1862, while her captain, C. J. Relyea, was absent on shore, Robert Smalls — a slave who was Planter's pilot — quietly took the ship from the wharf, and with a Confederate flag flying, steamed past the successive Confederate forts, saluting as usual by blowing her steam whistle. As soon as the steamer was out of range of the last Confederate gun, Smalls hauled down the Confederate flag and hoisted a white one. Then he turned Planter over to Onward of the Union blockading force. Besides Smalls, Planter carried seven other black men, five women, and three children to freedom. Moreover, in addition to the cargo of artillery and explosives, Smalls brought Flag officer Samuel Francis Du Pont valuable intelligence including word that the Confederates had abandoned defensive positions on the Stono River.

  • Captain Thomas Preston (c. 1722 – c. 1798)[1] was an officer of the 29th Regiment of Foot who was present at the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770.[2] He was acquitted of all charges in a trial held in Boston, Massachusetts. Future United States President John Adams was his attorney. Two of his men, Hugh Montgomery and Mathew Kilroy, were found guilty of manslaughter and branded on the thumb with a hot iron. After his trial, Preston retired from the army and reportedly settled in Ireland, though Adams recalled seeing him in London in the 1780s.

      Anthony Garcia Thomas Preston was the British army officer who was the man that supposedly commanded to fire on innocent men. but in reality its was a mob who started attacking the regulars hoping they would shoot. one of the mob man threw a club at the regulars and when it hit the regular he fell and it discharged and killed a man. that's how the Boston massacre happen.

      Militia had less power but regulars had more. For example, if say a militia that was a lieutenant was in charge of building a fort. Regulars come in to help and leading would be a captain. although that is a lower rank. Regulars have more power and experience then militia.

    In the Old European system, a General, without prefix or suffix (and sometimes referred to informally as a "full general"), is usually the most senior type of general, above Lieutenant General and directly below Field Marshal. Usually it is the most senior peace-time rank, with more senior ranks (for example, Field Marshal) being used only in wartime, or as honorary titles.
  • jonathan serrano on 07 Apr 10
     
    The rank of field marshal was used by some countries as the highest rank, while in other countries it was used as a divisional or brigade rank. Many countries (notably pre-revolutionary France and eventually much of Latin America) actually used two brigade command ranks, which is why some countries now use two stars as their brigade general insignia.
  • jonathan serrano on 07 Apr 10
     
    In some armies, however, the rank of Captain General, General of the Army, Army General or Colonel General occupied or occupies this position. Depending on circumstances and the army in question, these ranks may be considered to be equivalent to a full General or to a Field Marshal.

    Arnold began the war as a captain in Connecticut's militia, a position to which he was elected in March 1775. Following the outbreak of hostilities at Lexington and Concord the following month, his company marched northeast to assist in the siege of Boston that followed. Arnold proposed to the Massachusetts Committee of Safety an action to seize Fort Ticonderoga in New York, which he knew was poorly defended. They issued a colonel's commission to him on May 3, 1775, and he immediately rode off to the west

  • Although Peggy was newly wed, she still kept in contact with her dear friend, Major John Andre. The couple had many close friends that were members of the Tory political party. Peggy Shippen may have instigated the correspondence between Arnold and Major John André, her friend and previous suitor, who served as aide-de-camp to General Henry Clinton.
