On April 19, 1775 there was a battle that stumped people of what really happened that day for years. There are many explanations and theories of what happed but I have my own perspective of what really happened that dreadful day, of April 19, 1775. What I feel happened on that day was that when the three groups followed pretty much the same path until they came to the British patrol stopped and captured the revere and dawes group retreated back to Lexington where Prescott and the British continued there route where Edward Gould’s Affidavit group had fired first after the provincials had retreated back to the Concord, where then after they returned with up to three to four hundred people is when Edward Gould’s Affidavits group had drew up on the Concord side of the bridge, in which they were the first to fire, killing some of the men. My theory came from the testimonies of Edward Gould’s Affidavits, John Parker Affidavits, and Simon Affidavits. I also got my theory from the maps showing the routes taken.…

The Great Awakening of 1735-1745 was a reaction to a decline in piety and a carelessness of morals within the Congregational Churches of New England. Although the Great Awakening stimulated dramatic conversions and an increase in church membership, it also provoked conflicts and divisions within the established church. This striking revival of religious piety and its emphasis on salvation ultimately transformed the religious order of Connecticut. The decline in piety among the second generation of Puritans, which stemmed from economic changes, political transformations, and Enlightenment rationalism, was the primary cause of the Great Awakening.…

However, this lead to a massive revolt of people attempting to aid no matter their color or if they were free or enslaved.…
The purpose of the trench warfare was so that defending units could be protected by small arms fire and provide sheltered against artillery. This shows they would protect as much land from the enemy. Trench warfare was very important in WW1 this is because when the Germans realized that they were going to lose due to Russia and France they dug in and tried not to let the enemy take any of their land back so that their country would grow bigger and stronger. I will be answering the question about, how effective was Trench warfare in World War 1, and how effective was it as a method used by both sides in war Triple Entente and Triple Alliance.…
