Extractions: Tidewater Virginia Explore Virginia Maps: I n the early spring of 1862, the Union Army of the Potomac landed at Fort Monroe at the tip of the Virginia "Peninsula" formed by the James and York Rivers. The battle of the ironclads March 9 had cleared Hampton Roads, enabling the Federal water transports to land unmolested. Union Gen. George McClellan hoped to march west on the Peninsula and capture Richmond, less than 100 miles away. Confederates, led by Gen. John Magruder, manned strong fortifications behind the Warwick River, holding off the Federal juggernaut for a month before making a fighting withdrawal through Williamsburg in early May. The Confederate armies fell back to the Richmond defenses and were pinned down by mid-May. Taking command of the Southern army in June, Gen. Robert E. Lee broke the tightening Federal noose fighting what became known as the Seven Days battles. Lee's attacks succeeded in driving McClellan from the immediate Richmond area. Less than two months later the theater of war had shifted to Northern Virginia.

Extractions: U.S. Attacked Iraqi Defenses Starting in 2002 By M ichael R. Gordon New York Times AS VEGAS, July 19 American air war commanders carried out a comprehensive plan to disrupt Iraq's military command and control system before the Iraq war, according to an internal briefing on the conflict by the senior allied air war commander. Known as Southern Focus, the plan called for attacks on the network of fiber-optic cable that Saddam Hussein's government used to transmit military communications, as well as airstrikes on key command centers, radars and other important military assets. The strikes, which were conducted from mid-2002 into the first few months of 2003, were justified publicly at the time as a reaction to Iraqi violations of a no-flight zone that the United States and Britain established in southern Iraq. But Lt. Gen. T. Michael Moseley, the chief allied war commander, said the attacks also laid the foundations for the military campaign against the Baghdad government. Indeed, one reason it was possible for the allies to begin the ground campaign to topple Mr. Hussein without preceding it with an extensive array of airstrikes was that 606 bombs had been dropped on 391 carefully selected targets under the plan, General Moseley said.

Extractions: The attack on the military forces of the U.S. at Pearl Harbor Hawaii did not just happen nor was it a quick reaction to initiatives instituted by President Roosevelt. The Japanese believed that they were being pushed into a corner by Roosevelt and felt that they must act to protect the Empire. Gordon Prange in 'At Dawn We Slept' describes pre-attack events in detail. The description of these events note the mistakes made on each side. July The Japanese Army invaded North China from Manchuria, eight years of combat with the Chinese began. December The gunboat USS Panay, while on routine duty in Chinese waters, was attacked by Japanese aircraft. We do not know if the attack was intentional or an accident but Roosevelt looked for ways to punish Japan . Nothing became of this incident because the Japanese government apologized, paid for all damages, and promised to protect American nationals. October With the continued German military rearmament program and European leadership capitulation at the Munich conference, President Roosevelt asked Congress for $500 Million to increase America's defence forces. This action was done because he believed that Germany was a threat to the U.S. The Japanese saw this build up as a direct threat to their Empire because, the U.S. was the only country in the Pacific which could impede their expansion. Join the Navy Poster February Japan continues its conquest of China by occupying Hainan Island of the Southern coast. This occupation improved Japans ability to interdict maritime trade routes.
US Army Of God? General Casts War In Religious Terms Lt. gen. William G. Jerry Boykin, the new deputy undersecretary of Defense for Boykin s penchant for casting the war on terrorism in religious terms http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/1016-01.htm
Extractions: by Richard T. Cooper Lt. Gen. William G. "Jerry" Boykin, the new deputy undersecretary of Defense for intelligence, is a much-decorated and twice-wounded veteran of covert military operations. From the bloody 1993 clash with Muslim warlords in Somalia chronicled in "Black Hawk Down" and the hunt for Colombian drug czar Pablo Escobar to the ill-fated attempt to rescue American hostages in Iran in 1980, Boykin was in the thick of things. Yet the former commander and 13-year veteran of the Army's top-secret Delta Force is also an outspoken evangelical Christian who appeared in dress uniform and polished jump boots before a religious group in Oregon in June to declare that radical Islamists hated the United States "because we're a Christian nation, because our foundation and our roots are Judeo-Christian ... and the enemy is a guy named Satan." Discussing the battle against a Muslim warlord in Somalia, Boykin told another audience, "I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol."

The following articles, images and documents chronicle the back fight for freedom from 1776-1865. American Revolutionary War, 1776-1781 At the start of the American Revolutionary War, many African Americans were outlawed from serving in the Continental Army as many whites were afraid of arming black people and freeing many slaves in the South to fight. However, black men did participate in the first well-known battles such as the Boston Massacre in 1770, where Crispus Attucks was the first black man to give his life for American freedom from Great Britain. In April 1775, black men also fought in the battles of Concord and Lexington where Peter Salem (pictured below) was a Minuteman from Framingham, Massachusetts and became one of the great heroes of the American RevolutionaryWar.

If you live in America, it's very likely you've got a Webster's on your shelf and if that's the case you may be quite surprised to find out about the man who wrote it. A humorless, arrogant old goon, Noah Webster is now praised as a militant patriot and Christian stalwart, when he really just bugged the crap out of people and wrote a lousy dictionary.

Memorial Day gen. Logans order for his posts to decorate graves in 1868 with the The origins of special services to honor those who die in war can be found in http://www1.va.gov/opa/speceven/memday/history.htm
Extractions: The first large observance was held that year at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. Local Observances Claim To Be First Local springtime tributes to the Civil War dead already had been held in various places. One of the first occurred in Columbus, Miss., April 25, 1866, when a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh. Nearby were the graves of Union soldiers, neglected because they were the enemy. Disturbed at the sight of the bare graves, the women placed some of their flowers on those graves, as well. Today, cities in the North and the South claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1866. Both Macon and Columbus, Ga., claim the title, as well as Richmond, Va. The village of Boalsburg, Pa., claims it began there two years earlier. A stone in a Carbondale, Ill., cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Carbondale was the wartime home of Gen. Logan. Approximately 25 places have been named in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were buried. Official Birthplace Declared By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held on May 30 throughout the nation. State legislatures passed proclamations designating the day, and the Army and Navy adopted regulations for proper observance at their facilities.

Extractions: Major General Henry W. Lawton By Rudy Rau, Colorado Springs, Colorado General: At the time of his death, December 19, 1899, at San Mateo in the Philippines, Henry W. Lawton was second in command of the U.S. Army forces in the Philippines, serving under General Elwell S. Otis. The Biography: At the time matters were heating up between the United States and Spain, Lawton had been a career soldier for close to 37 years. Born in Maumee, Ohio, and raised in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, he was an early volunteer for the Union Army at the outbreak of the Civil War. After his initial 90-day enlistment ended, he re-joined as a member of the 30th Indiana Volunteers and was commissioned a second lieutenant. He was promoted to the rank of captain at Corinth Mississippi in 1863 and when the conflict ended, Lawton was a Brevet Colonel. Lawton participated in over 22 major engagements during the war and was later awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his action and bravery during the battle of Atlanta. For a short time after the Civil War, Lawton attended Harvard Law School, but wished for a commission in the post-war Army. At the urging of General Phil Sheridan, he re-entered the service, commissioned as a lieutenant, and assigned to Ranald S. MacKenzies command. He served for several years under MacKenzie during the various engagements with the Indians in the southwest and west. As a captain, and commander of B Troop, 4th Cavalry, stationed at Ft. Huachuca in 1886, Lawton was selected by
