Pertains to the Newburgh Petition and Conspiracy. General Putnam writes an open letter to the Officers in the Army expressing reservations about officers' plan to obtain back pay and other concessions from Congress. Urges them not to threaten or wage War against the community or Congress. Instructs the officers not to persuade Congress by negative means, noting ...having once made a Separation between the Civil and Military power, between Congress & her Army, you have then passed the Rubicon. Argues that the men will have to remain in the field until all debts are discharged, if they threaten Congress with military power. Points out that the military will have to recede in disgrace if Congress does not comply with the officers' demands; the only other option will be civil war. Asks whether soldiers will be willing to stay on the battlefield after peace is declared between the United States and Great Britain, and if so, how long will they agree to serve without pay. Declares, ...how vain then is the idea that the Officers of the Army who have been so many Years telling the World how poor they are, should be able to obtain a sufficient credit to Support an Army, designed to Subjugate, or overturn the present Constitution of America- Have you then any alternative for subsisting your Army but that of plundering your Country? Urges more moderate measures, and expresses admiration for General George Washington. In the hand of Henry Knox's aide John Lillie.
For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
