Product Description
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.
From the Author
Washington's Decision gives a unique perspecitive on the black soldier during the American Revolution. Under the tutelage of James Horton, author of Slavery and the Making of America, and Philander D. Chase, senior Editor of the Papers of George Washington, I set out to fully examine George Washington's decision to reaccept black enlistments.
Reader Reviews
I thought the book was great and very well written. The author has a distinct style which is very direct and to the point. He makes his argument and presents the facts in a very valid and direct way. I am used to history books that are often long winded and focus on drawing out only a few facts. Mr. Charles takes the approach of laying all the facts on the table and telling it the way that it is. Again very well written and a nice change from the norm of "put you to sleep" history books.
