THE CHAPLAIN’S ROLE IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY

“The development of the chaplaincy on the American continent, prior to the

Revolution, was slow and uneven” (Eugene p, 30). From the time of Martin of Tours to

the present, clergymen have accompanied soldiers to the battle line and ministered to

them. The Continental congress officially recognized and provided for the appointment

and pay of chaplains on 29 July 1775 (FM 1-05, 1-1). Since then, history is replete with

stories of chaplains’ gallantry in the Army operations.

Wayne Dehoney wrote “a first-hand account of the work of men who left the

ministry to enter the chaplaincy. But did they really leave the ministry?” He concluded

that “these gallantry chaplains had

    The Revolution greatly changed life for ordinary Americans in many ways. The author, Alfred F. Young, examined the story of George R.T. Hewes, and exemplified the ways in which his life coincided and contributed to the events of the Revolution. It is widely believed that the Revolution was mainly fought by people solely for their great pride in their freedom, and need for liberty. But, Young debunks this generalization, mainly by examining the reasons…

    Cornelia Hughes Dayton utilizes, as Hemphill does, a primarily legal based methodology in her article “Taking the Trade: Abortion and Gender Relations in an Eighteenth Century New England Village. Examining a variety of depositions and legal documents surrounding a fornication trial in Pomfret, Connecticut, Dayton argues two major fundamental shifts occurred by the 1740s which highlighted how different their society was from that of the Puritan dominated seventeenth century. First, there was a loss of institutional control, both in the ability of the courts to obtain guilty verdicts in cases of moral depravity, e.g., pre-marital sex, and the growing tendancy for families to avoid the court system altogether, choosing instead to handle such matters privately. (Dayton Abortion, 34-35) The second major change which began around the turn of the eighteenth century and was firmly established by the time of the Grosvenor-Sessions case was the emergence of a sexual double standard.…

    Few events loom as large within the consciousness of the United States as the American Revolution. It has been endless debated and mythologized from the moment of its occurrence. By the same token, here are few topics as studied as the American Revolution. This seminal event has been examined and deliberated by generations of historians to the point there are few historiographies as extensive as that of the American Revolution. This has led to endless biographies of the founding fathers, multitudinous examinations of each battle, as well, as economic, political and Atlantic based histories of the event.…

    It was cold and ordinary evening on March 5, 1770, when I was walking down King street with my friend Henry. As were walking past the Custom House a young wig maker's apprentice walked up to a British soldier and insulted him because he had not payed for a wig. Another British soldier had walked out and scolded the young boy for disrespecting a British soldier. The boy exchanged insults with the soldier so he pulled out his musket and struck the boy on the side of the head. A stream of chills rushed through my body when I witnessed that.…

    In the introduction of R.R. Palmer’s The Age of the Democratic Revolution: A Political History of Europe and America, 1760-1800, he outlines the movements that changed the structures within Western Civilization, which he defines as being the United States, England, France, and several other European countries. Palmer not only fails to examine over half of the nations in the western world that he discusses, but in doing so he also implies that the uprisings in these countries do not fit into his picture of the age of revolutions. Whether this is due to a view of their cultures as less advanced and their people not worthy of discussion or simply due to their lack of prevalence in the academic world in his time, it is important to show that this…

    Revolution is a term that for better or worse has and forever will reign over the lives of millions in the United State of America, but it is what “common people” choose to do in the face of such transformative change that truly matters .Though the American revolution was necessary in establishing the political foundation of this storied Country, I personally believe the American Civil War was more Revolutionary, and to an extent necessary as it not only put kinship to the test (pitting father against son), but it was the first step in ensuring all people’s natural rights (such as those discussed in the Declaration of Independence) were truly recognized. In order to do this paper proper justice, I will draw my main points from issues including religion, economics, and history (in general). When you examine both the American Revolution and the American Civil War, you will find that…

    By 1794, Danton and the so-called ‘Indulgents’ called for clemency, an end to the Terror, the return of the 1793 Constitution, the “sparing of human blood”, and the weakening of the powers of the Committee of Public Safety (especially over the economy and local authorities) – they wanted the entire Revolution moderated. These demands quickly gained support as the French army won victory after victory against the First Coalition, as the Vendee and Federalist Revolts were suppressed, and the horrors of the representatives-on-mission carried out became known. In his paper “Le Vieux Cordelier” (the Old Cordeliers), Camille Desmoulins used a translation of Tacitus to mock and criticise the Terror, while calling for clemency and the release of suspects.…
