People RepublicBreaking News from Bunker

Hill

In Massachusetts, the patriot army was growing. Thousands of rebels poured into England ready to drive the British out of the colonies, and more specifically, out of Boston.

The rebel army took position on Breed's Hill near Boston on June 16, 1775. They also intended to take neighboring Bunker Hill. The British, however, attacked on June 17 before these plans were completed.

Although the resulting battle was for Bunker Hill, the fighting took place on Breed's Hill.

The British attacked the hilltop on three separate charges, with one coming as close as forty yards before the patriots opened fire. The rebels did not flee the hill until they had run out of bullets. Though the British won, about 1,000 redcoats were killed.

WHAT IS THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE?The United States Declaration of Independence

is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which announced that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were now independent states, and thus no longer a part of the British Empire. Written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration is a formal explanation of why Congress had voted on July 2 to declare independence from Great Britain, more than

a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. The birthday of the United States of America—Independence Day—is celebrated on July 4, the day the wording of the Declaration was approved by Congress.

MEET THE MAKER OF THE FLAG

(born Jan. 1, 1752, Philadelphia, Pa.—died Jan. 30, 1836, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S.) American patriot. She worked as a seamstress and upholsterer, carrying on her husband's upholstery business after he was killed in the American Revolution. According to legend, in 1776 she was visited by George Washington, Robert Morris, and her husband's uncle George Ross, who asked her to make a flag for the new nation based on a sketch by Washington. She is supposed also to have suggested the use of the five-pointed star rather than the six-pointed one chosen by Washington. Though Ross did make flags for the navy, no firm evidence supports the legend of the national flag. In 1777 the Continental Congress adopted the

Stars and Stripes as the U.S. flag.

BIOGRAPHY OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston on January 17, 1706. He was the tenth son of soap maker, Josiah Franklin. Benjamin's mother was Abiah Folger, the second wife of Josiah. In all, Josiah would father 17 children.

Josiah intended for Benjamin to enter into the clergy. However, Josiah could only afford to send his son to school for one year and clergymen needed years of schooling. But, as young Benjamin loved to read he had him apprenticed to his brother James, who was a printer. After helping James compose pamphlets and set type which was grueling work, 12-year-old Benjamin would sell their products in the streets.

When Benjamin was 15 his brother started The New England Courant the first "newspaper" in Boston. Though there were two papers in the city before James's Courant, they only reprinted news from abroad. James's paper carried articles, opinion pieces written by James's friends, advertisements, and news of ship schedules.

Benjamin wanted to write for the paper too, but he knew that James would never let him. After all, Benjamin was just a lowly apprentice. So Ben began writing letters at night and signing them with the name of a fictional widow, Silence Dogood. Dogood was filled with advice and very critical of the world around her, particularly concerning the issue of how women were treated. Ben would sneak the letters under the print shop door at night so no one knew who was writing the pieces. They were a smash hit, and everyone wanted to know who was the real "Silence Dogood."

After 16 letters, Ben confessed that he had been writing the letters all along. While James's friends thought Ben was quite precocious and funny, James scolded his brother and was very jealous of the attention paid to him.

Before long the Franklins found themselves at odds with Boston's powerful Puritan preachers, the Mathers. Smallpox was a deadly disease in those times, and the Mathers supported inoculation; the Franklins' believed inoculation only made people

sicker. And while most Bostonians agreed with the Franklins, they did not like the way James made fun of the clergy, during the debate. Ultimately, James was thrown in jail for his views, and Benjamin was left to run the paper for several issues.Upon release from jail, James was not grateful to Ben for keeping the paper going. Instead he kept harassing his younger brother and administering beatings from time to time. Ben could not take it and decided to run away in 1723.In 1729, Benjamin Franklin bought a

newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette. Franklin not only printed the paper, but often contributed pieces to the paper under aliases. His newspaper soon became the most successful in the colonies. This newspaper, among other firsts, would print the first political cartoon, authored by Ben himself.

But Franklin thrived on work. In 1733 he started publishing Poor Richard's Almanack. Almanacs of the era were printed annually, and contained things like weather reports, recipes, predictions and homilies. Franklin published his almanac under the guise of a man named Richard Saunders, a poor man who needed money to take care of his carping wife. What distinguished Franklin's almanac were his witty aphorisms and lively writing. Many of the famous phrases associated with Franklin, such as, "A penny saved is a penny earned" come from Poor Richard.

In part via Franklin's popularity, the government of France signed a Treaty of Alliance with the Americans in 1778. Franklin also helped secure loans and persuade the French they were doing the right thing. Franklin was on hand to sign the Treaty of Paris in 1783, after the Americans had won the Revolution.

MEET THE NEW COMMANDER IN CHIEF

The Continental Congress appointed Washington commander-in-chief of the American revolutionary forces in 1775. The following year, he forced the British out of Boston, lost New York City, and crossed the Delaware River in New Jersey, defeating the surprised enemy units later that year. As a result of his strategy, Revolutionary forces captured the two main British combat armies at Saratoga and Yorktown. Negotiating with Congress, the colonial states, and French allies, he held together a tenuous army and a fragile nation amid the threats of disintegration and failure. Following the end of the war in 1783, King George III asked what Washington

would do next and was told of rumors that he'd return to his farm; this prompted the king to state,

"If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world." Washington did, in fact, return to private life and retired to his plantation at Mount Vernon.

Leutze was born to a Jewish family[citation needed] in Schwäbisch

Gmünd, Württemberg (Germany), was brought to America as a child,

and then returned to Germany as a adult[1]. His parents settled first in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, then at Fredericksburg, Va. He received his first instruction in art from J. A. Smith, a portrait painter in Philadelphia. In 1840, one of his paintings attracted attention and procured him several orders, which enabled him to go to Düsseldorf, where he studied with Lessing. In 1842 he went to Munich, studying the works of Cornelius and Karlbach, and the following year he visited Venice and Rome. In 1845 he returned to Düsseldorf and was married, making his home there for 14 years.

PATRIOT ARTIST REVIVES REVOLUTION

BY: Shaniece Kattler

On a winters month of the year 1777, patriot artist Edward Thomson painted the recently popularly acclaimed “Moment of Freedom “, an artistic view encompassing the glory ,fears ,sorrows joys, and all emotions involved in war.

       “The painting itself is a moral “, critics rejoice.

          “Not only is it a good look perched over any fireplace, it pushes our troops forward. We’ve had more than 10,000 new enlisting of voluntarily regards since the painting was first viewed and approved by George Washington, and his committee of Patriot Propaganda Artists. A copy of it now stands high in Washington’s office. And upon the troops disembarkment a prayer is even said before it. Says Patrick Erlenmyer, Chief Commander of the Patriotic Propaganda Artists Committee.  

          Such influential art must have come from a likewise influential artist, yes?

            In regards to the meaning of influential, the answer would be no.

          Thomas, only 19 years old rather then a sickly in appearance with long, shaggy hair and always a distant look

in his eyes was anything but influential in person. Highly reclusive Thomas never stayed far from his Virginia home and his canvas. When interviewed and asked of his close companions Thomas only named his immediate family and those few who were his outside eyes and informed him of the glories and misadventures of the war.

           If Thomas himself never actually took part in any of the social events involving troops, or never really witnessed any of the battles, the question rang how was he able to capture the extreme emotions subjected to soldiers in times of war, on the faces on his canvas?

         “ I had one other friend .He had run home from the battles ,he said his first energies and motives to fight the Red Coats still ran strong inside of him but at the moment of death he longed for nothing more than his family his wife and children. After weeks of secret travel towards home, he had stumbled onto my door stop. I feed and sheltered him and in exchange he told me wartime stories .And with every story the light in my eyes changed a new color to paint. He was my subject my model and I molded every story he told, every felling shared or felt in the moment of freedom Thomas mumbled haphazardly         

 to journalist.      

         “I never expected all of this I wanted only to tell his story.”

            Thomas still stays close to home with a strong Patriotic fire burning inside of his heart ready to set aflame any canvas. Members of the   Patriotic Propaganda Artists Committee. And many Patriotic Americans  look forward to more works from Thomas in the future that will continue to encourage revolution and support fellow Americans in battle
