Washington's Decision explores all the factors that attributed George Washington to reaccept the black soldier in the Continental Army on December 31, 1775. There are three main themes regarding the issue, but none have accurately depicted the events leading up to the General's change of heart. Patrick Charles sets out to finally answer the question, 'What are all the factors that atrributed Washington to reenlist the black soldier?' Washington's Decision tells the story of the Revolution's black soldier from this perspective, giving insight into the politics behind blacks serving, the evolution of slaves to soldiers, and the state of the army during the first year of hostilities.

Softcover. Etat : Fine. Color illustrated softcovers (not issued in hardcover). INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR ON THE HALF-TITLE, "To ____/ Thanks for your support/ Best, Pat Charles" Fine. (xi) + 301 pp with index. On December 31, 1775, George Washington sent an important letter to the Continental Congress regarding the enlistment of Black soldiers in the Continental Army. It reiterated an original letter that spring to allow free Blacks to enlist (with Congress' approval) but the legislation did not allow blacks to count toward troop quotas of the new 13 states, and therefore Washington did not permit black recruitment. The December letter reversed this decision and Author Charles explores the factors that caused Washington to finally accept blacks. N° de réf. du vendeur E33718
