Goo Spillane Summary
Emilio Aguinaldo also released some American prisoners so they could tell their own stories. In a Boston Globe article entitled "With the Goo Goo's" Paul Spillane described his fair treatment as a prisoner. Emilio Aguinaldo had even invited American prisoners to the naming of his baby and had given each a present of four dollars, Spillane (remembered and retold).

Naval Lieutenant J. C. Gilmore, whose release was forced by American cavalry chasing after Aguinaldo into the mountains, insisted that he had received "(large/relatively large) treatment" and that he was no more starved than were his (people who capture other people). Otis responded to these two articles by ordering the "capture" of the two authors, and that they be "(examined something

    Although Red Horse was unsure whether this solider was General Custer, he further provides the audience with an example of this officer’s bravery by stating that “this officer saved the lives of many soldiers by turning his horse and covering the retreat”. Red Horse’s account presents conflicting perspectives of how Custer was viewed. This discrepancy may have its roots in the veracity of the source. This account was written five years after the battle, at a time when Americans were vengeful and the government became more determined to destroy or tame the “hostile” Indians. Thus, perhaps the positive statement came from a Native American who is enthusiastic to present his enemies in a laudable manner, which would be more easily received by the interviewer, audience, and white men.…

    On July 28, 1812, nine men huddled together inside the Baltimore City Jail, not because they were being detained for criminal malfeasance, but for their own protection from the mob of 1,500 angry Baltimoreans gathered outside. The men inside the jail, led my Alexander C. Hanson, were members or affiliates of the unpopular Federalist newspaper, The Federal Republican. The crowd outside was predominantly composed of European immigrant wage laborers from Ireland who flocked to Baltimore following the Revolutionary War. Without warning, the back door to the jail swung open and the angry mob rushed inside and descended upon Hanson and his cohorts. As described by Isaac Dickson, a Justice of the Peace in Baltimore City, “there a scene of horror…

    Kilgren Raid Analysis

    General George Meade was asked by the Robert E. Lee, a Confederate general if the assassination of President Davis was authorized by the United States Government. Meade then turned the investigation over to Kilpatrick. Kilpatrick replied to Meade saying that he wholeheartedly agreed with Dahlgren’s written orders except for the mention of assassination. “[...] he wrote Meade, ‘save as far as it speaks of exhorting the prisoners to destroy and burn the hateful city and kill the traitor Davis and his cabinet. All of this is false” (Aron 84). Kilpatrick also interviewed survivors from Dahlgren’s troops from the night of the raid, all urging no notice about the terroristic orders. In hindsight, whether or not if the orders were given to the troops, it does not necessarily mean the orders did not exist. In secrecy, Meade was suspicious of Kilpatrick's considering he did take everything in his power to get the raid initiated by the president and the secretary of war. “Indeed relying on Kilpatrick was, as historian Stephen Sears put it, ‘equivalent to ordering the fox to investigate losses in the henhouse.’ Kilpatrick, after all, was Dahlgren’s superior officer and may have given him the orders. If so, Kilpatrick had every reason to deny they were authentic” (Aron 85). Kilpatrick’s superiority status can affect the actions of Dahlgren and his soldiers. There is the underlying assumption that…

    In Coates book Between the World and Me, he states the history of African American and violence of being an African American child in this country. Coates reminds us that racial distinction is nothing new and he described this is foundation of America and has never gone away. He especially mentioned the Lincoln’s Gettysburg speech. Coates states, “The question is not whether Lincoln truly meant ‘government of the people’ but what our country has, throughout its history, taken the political term ‘people’ to actually mean” (6). Coates expresses that the problem is who they consider actually be “people” (6). Lincoln’s “people” (Coates 6) and politician’s “people” (Coates 6) were not the same, then who is and who is not a person. Lincoln indicated…

    The Unredeemed Captive

    • 1205 Words
    • 5 Pages

    John Demos in a sense presents themes that are entirely familiar and conventional. The themes of sin, retribution, and repentance are very prevalent in his writing. The loss of piety, the failure of spiritual nerve, the absolute necessity of reform; and the certainty of God's punishment if reform was not achieved appear throughout his book (Demos). (In this instance, Eunice's failure to return to her native land is putting her at risk in the eyes of God). For approximately 60 years John Williams who had been a captive for almost two years, and is one of the main characters of the story writes different letters, sermons, in an effort to reach the captive daughter. According to John Williams, "God is the bestower and giver of all our good things. Our mercies come to us not by casualty or by accident. These mercies are not of our own procuring and purchasing" (Demos, 62). John Demos uses the story of John Williams to describe the conflict between the Puritans and Jesuits. "The Jesuits had their own cultural and religious ways versus those of the "savages"; the adjustments and compromises they feel obliged to accept, and the core of essentials they must vigilantly defend" (Demos 129). The conversion of English captives to Catholicism was the primary goal of the Jesuits. "The Indians were not mere imitators of an alien model; their culture, their history and their values contributed strongly to the evolving patterns of converting to Christianity" (Demos 171).…
