Arnold s fleet sets sail for the north from Crown Point. August 25: The Reverend William Emerson writes to his wife: We have here five fine regiments from the Southern Colonies, Pennslyvania & the Jersey,s dressed in uniform, that appear as well disciplined as the best of the British troops.

8 Appendix 4: 2 As far as history has preserved to us the slow unfoldings of any savage tribe, it is not easy to see how war could be avoided by such wild, passionate, needy, ungoverned, strong-bodied creatures. For in the infancy of society, when a thin population and improvidence make the supply of food and of shelter insufficient and very precarious, and when hunger, thirst, ague and frozen limbs universally take precedence of the wants of the mind and the heart, the necessities of the strong will certainly be satisfied at the cost of the weak, at whatever peril of future revenge. It is plain, too, that in the first dawnings of the religious sentiment, that blends itself with their passions and is oil to the fire. Not only every tribe has war-gods, religious festivals in victory, but religious wars. The student of history acquiesces the more readily in this copious bloodshed of the early annals, bloodshed in God s name too, when he learns that it is a temporary and preparatory state, and does actively forward the culture of man. War educates the senses, calls into action the will, perfects the physical constitution, brings men into such swift and close collision in critical moments that man measures man. On its own scale, on the virtues it loves, it endures no counterfeit, but shakes the whole society until every atom falls into the place its specific gravity assigns it. Ralph Waldo Emerson, excerpt from essay on War 8
9 Appendix 5: Primary Source Analysis Worksheet 9
10 Appendix 6: Assessment Name: Purpose: The primary sources of Reverend William Emerson, Dr. Lewis Beebe (and his biography), and the poem by Walt Whitman discuss personal reactions to war in America. Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Emerson s grandson (and a Transcendentalist), also shares a well-known, critical perspective on war itself. Some of these American s experiences take place a half century apart. However, we can compare and contrast their purpose for being in war, the conditions they faced, and human suffering they witness. Historical perspectives like this help us to discuss the romanticized version of war versus the stark reality of serving in or witnessing war. Consider how the experiences of these men differ from their initial thoughts about war. Assignment: Write two-page essay in which you compare and contrast the different sources. Feel free to also use examples from other texts we ve read this year to supplement your main idea. I strongly encourage you to use evidence and quotes in your writing. I also encourage to use any current, relevant stories of service from a reputable media source! Texts: William Emerson information and journal entries Dr. Lewis Beebe biography and journal entries Ralph Waldo Emerson s excerpt from his essay War Walt Whitman s poem Day Break Gray and Dim: How the Civil War Changed Walt Whitman s Poetry HINT: Be engaging and detailed use evidence from the excerpts! Here are some essential questions to help you begin your brainstorming: Why are these men serving in war? What are they observing about war? What role does religion serve in war? In these documents, what harsh realities do the chaplain, doctor, and soldier face? How might these be different from their initial expectations of war? Example basic thesis statement: Though two reflect on the conditions of life during the American Revolution and one documents the Civil War, each of the primary sources from Reverend William Emerson, Dr. Lewis Beebe, and poet Walt Whitman reveal the harsh realities of wartime. 10
