was an American Revolutionary War general and hero. He was a rival of George Washington’s and had attempted to have him replaced as commander of the Continental Army at certain points during the war; however, he was very popular and could have had a promising political career. He was likely the person chiefly responsible for the Newburgh Conspiracy, a planned coup d’état in 1783. He encouraged the army (which would soon be disbanded) to march on the capital, Philadelphia, and force congress to pay all soldiers five years of full pension funds immediately rather than a lifetime pension of half pay. Had such a coup attempt been carried out, it may have ended American Democracy. In a surprise move, George Washington showed up to the meeting called by this man and delivered a speech encouraging soldiers to avoid marching on congress and forcing them to make laws at the point of guns. Washington’s speech worked, this man’s legacy was ruined, and America henceforth established a longstanding pattern of military subordination to civilian authority.

Founded in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in 1789, was the first industrial factory in the United States and set the pattern of the Northeast dominating industrialization. It was funded by Moses Brown and William Almy, but its eponymous founder had been a young man who worked in an industrial factory in England and who snuck machinery and operational secrets to America.

Frontier Indian Wars represented major crises for the early United States and was one of the chief issues of George Washington’s presidency.

He was eventually defeated at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794; from that point forward he became an ally of the United States.

The earliest person to confess to being a witch in the 1692 Essex County Witch Scare was the slave woman . She was the slave of the community’s minister, Samuel Parris, but had previously come from the West Indies (where folk magic and spell casting were commonly practiced). Her race is unknown, although she was likely at least partly Native American and was married to another Native American slave named John Indian. She had been heavily involved in the incidents that likely caused the symptoms in Abigail Williams and Betty Parris that were later attributed to witchcraft. Objectively, she did attempt some beneficium (good magic or harmless magic). She taught the girls magic divination (fortune telling) likely with a Venus Glass and had participated in the Witch Cake trial with the Parris’s neighbor, Mary Sibley. During the first witchcraft examinations, Abigail and Betty accused her and others of using invisible agents to pinch and bite them. This woman confessed and claimed that Satan had come to her and demanded that she hurt the girls; she also accused the two other women being examined at the time, Sarah Good and Sarah Osbourne, of being worse witches that forced her into the harmful acts. Young Abigail and Betty, who had been quite agitated throughout the examination, immediately calmed down once she had confessed, leading credence to her confession. Unlike every other accused witch examined that day, this woman survived the scare and was never executed (despite her confession and being a slave woman of color).
