Forgotten Heroes

My story starts with the character, Paddy Trevor. Paddy is a young caucasian male, born in 1757, and is just 18 when the revolution begins, but 30 at the end of this story. He starts the story, young and naive, thoughts filling his mind about making a better nation, and eagerly joins the revolution. But by the end of the story, he is older and mature, and has a destain and trust for his country after this story events, but will, you’ll just have to keep reading…

The American revolution will be forever known, as one of the most consequential revolutions, leading to the creation of America, which to this day, is still one of the world’s global superpowers.  The success of this revolution is contributed to hose little was cost for it to succeed, and how impactful it was. Firstly, unlike many other revolutions such as the french revolution, the American Revolution was won after very little bloodshed and chaos.  Only over 6,000 people had actually died in the revolution, a starch contrast to revolutions such as the french, which had caused over 27,000 deaths. Not only this, however, but what was to follow, was America’s growth, to become a global superpower, in just 244 years to today. America’s story is also widely known for encouraging immigrants, standing as a shining beacon of opportunity, and a place where anyone could rise up. Although I am in no way being ignorant of many of its nation’s bloody history, such as the Trail of Tears, or the institution of slavery, it is still undeniable how incredible it is to watch America grow to be a shining beacon of opportunity, and a global superpower, starting with the American Revolution.
