Give me Liberty, give me life, George Washington. A book that gives Brittan’s side on the revolutionary war, a different perspective on the revolutionary war. With time and cultural differences going amok like eating pigeon pie and claiming not winning the battle but a unjust loss. With the main character Nathanial Dunn who is an indebted to a school teacher, but being that his second owner had enlisted him the Lobster back army, so he must make a choice by either leaving the battle and joining the militia or be a spy. I honestly think something will happen to him before he switches army’s. Also I find that the British army would get up early to warm up and get some training in, Nathanial had to wake up and take the punishment of the soldiers but finds a friend in an indebted African slave. Also the British generals were so bull headed that they would kill all their troops just to get a win in the fight. Also that they worked with blacksmiths and German hessians who were the hired mercenaries of the revolution. While the drummer and flutist were always looked down upon, I noticed that Nathanial had it especially bad because he was indebted and had no owner that he could hide behind. Also I noticed while he worked at the blacksmith though the blacksmith was British he tended to be against working for redcoats so he made the iron weaker and took longer to do it so he could slow the British down giving the militia more time to train.
The other major cultural differences were that a white boy was sold because his dad forced him to come to America and he was indebted to pay for the voyage across the pond. Also I found that at most he could do to get out was escape during a time of retreat, which hasn’t happened yet, if Nathanial escapes he would be put to death.
