And if youll notice, the guy on the left, on the back, hes carrying a backpack that would carry two cases for a congrieve rocket.

And the colonial marines is a e unit that resembles on a much m smaller scale the union color regiments of the civil war in that the officers are white men, but the enlisted men and the ncos are africanamericans. And they are being attracted into the service because theyr not being compelled to it, and indeed, as far as we can tell, f most of the runaways, indeed, tl including most of the men, dont choose to be colonial marines. H some may end up as sailors or ms others work more informally as guides. Many women worked as laundresses and nurses. Hem some of them are serving as paid servants for british officers rh and others go to work for the ts dockyard in bermuda.

This was produced in 1817 by a critic of american slavery, an american critic of american slavery named jesse torrey and jesse torrey wants you to think about the destruction of the Capitol Building and wants you to draw certain conclusions from it and those conclusions that he wants you to reach are indicated by the other figures hes put in this particular engraving.

And preserving the union required negotiation. The war of 1812 was as we said an example of the competing interests in different parts of the union. And in many ways it didnt succeed. Westerners made off better than the other regions they didnt get additional land from canada but as john stag mentioned they did get a lot of land from native americans. The english did not end impressment of sailors because of any pressure the United States had put on them they did it when they chose to do so. The war are had been waged by a union of regional republics with a l ....
Some cases kill their former masters. Now, possessing racial prejudice, these British Naval officers, again, theyre growing into this role. Dont get the idea that these are William Lloyd garrison on the decks of these naval warships. Theyve got other priorities. So they are not naturalborn abolitionists but they are working up a real good hatred for the United States as this conflict goes along, and theyre trying to think, how can we really stick it to them . And it occurs to them, by liberating their slaves and using them against them. Thats what is going on here. And coburn thought, well, its useful because it draws these people away from their masters. It weakens the economy. Hes not sure these young men are going to be effective fighters. He said, quote, blackie hears about naturally very valorous, end quote. Thats what ....
