History qeustion help please?
"My men, yonder are the hessians. They were bought for seven pounds and ten pence a man. Are you worth more? Prove it. Tonight the American flag floats yonder hill or Molly Stark sleeps a widow."-General John Stark, August 1777
1. What is general stark saying about the Hessians? What is he asking his own troops? What is the meaning of the last sentence?
2. How does the last sentence illustrate one of the reasons why the Americans were able to defeat the British in the revloution? Support you answer with details.
THANKS!!! :]
He was saying that the lives and abilities of the Hessian troops were worth only 7 pounds 10 pence to the British who paid for them. That the American solders should prove they were worth far more than that in money and spirit. He is asking them if they think/know they are far better solders than the Hessian. The last sentence is saying that he and his men will win the battle and take the hill or he will die trying. Thus if he dies she will be sleeping alone as his widow. It shows that the Americans had more to loose than just their lives. They were fighting for their rights and the idea of freedom and they were willing to win at any cost or die trying. The British did not have as much to lose. They would die but England was in no real danger. Their way of life and so on was safe, their loved ones were safe and far from the battles that were raging in America. The American solders were not as lucky their loved ones were having to live with war all around them and in danger. This was a motivator for the Americans to beat the British.
