This book was released on 2017 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 37-page pamphlet provides a selection of four transcribed and annotated original documents on the history of the international security situation that faced one of the British North American colonies in 1755: Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. At this point, France and England had not yet declared war against one another in the Seven Years' War, but the hostilities of the French and Indian War were beginning in the interior areas of North America. The ministry in London was anxious to have the colonies take mutual defensive precautions, but no established system existed to do this. The reactions of each of the colonies to the ministry's directions were different, depending on their positions as royal, proprietary or charter colonies. As a charter colony, Rhode Island responded slowly to the directions from London, but it eventually made what preparations it could. The colony made local plans for modernizing its major fortification to protect its major port, Newport, from French attack, but when the colony requested cannon and other military supplies from London, officials prevaricated and Rhode Island received no military assistance. A sea captain and self-trained architect, Peter Harrison, provided the plans for the proposed new fort and made an early hydrographic survey of the harbor at Newport, Rhode Island, both of which are illustrated in the volume.

Book excerpt: This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. This paper analyzes the political and military effectiveness of the Rhode Island militia during the Revolutionary War. Through careful study of the roots of Rhode Island and its militia forces, it is possible to understand the various functions performed by these forces in Rhode Island's struggle for independence. Revisionist historians assert that the war was not so much won by America as it was not lost. The militia played a significant part in sustaining the war until England finally withdrew from the conflict. The functions performed by the militia include providing internal control; a source of short-, term local defense; intelligence gathering; raiding and harassing the enemy forces; and providing a source of manpower for the Continental Army. How well these functions were performed vary, but their effectiveness in prolonging the war were critical to America not losing the conflict. Rhode Island's forces were divided into two major categories--those for the defense of the united colonies and those for the state's defense. The state "citizen soldier" forces were furthered divided into three minor categories. These were the militia, independently chartered companies, and alarm companies. All three are studied in this paper since all three performed the same functions for the state. On three separate occasions, military and civilian leaders attempted to use the militia in large-scale operations. Each of these three attempts ended in disaster, not through the fault of the militia, but from the misunderstanding of the militia's weaknesses and strengths as a military force. This paper details these strengths and weaknesses in order to prevent modern-day leaders from making these same mistakes.
