Yes, this was a battle on Christmas day in 1864 by a joint army-navy Union Army force on Fort Filsher... which was a Confedeeracy bstion that, at that time, protected the South's remaining major port of Wilmington, N.C.\n\nAs a result of that fizzled battle, the 10,000 Union attackers suffered 1,338 casualties. The 1,500 Rebels lost about 500 killed and wounded, with the rest captured.

It was the battle of Guilford Courthouse (near Greensboro, NC).  While we lost that battle, Cornwallis (the English general) said that another such victory for the English and they shall lose the war.  \n\nThe "victory" at Guilford Courthouse cost so many British soldiers that Washington was able to win the next major battle -- and the war!  \n\n(FYI, this was the battle going on in the big scene at the end of Mel Gibson's movie, The Patriot.)

A Regiment of civilian volunteers, rescue squad, national guard, and others emergency response workers Have Been The First To Respond to Every Natural Emergency and/or armed conflict in Tennessee, Franklin (the conjoined Eastern regions of Tennessee, Kentucky, and western parts of North Caroline and Virgina PRIOR to the borders as they appear today, and American history, from the earliest of times even up to today.  The Greatest of which in history is the Regiment of Tennessee Volunteers (led by Davy Crockett&Sam Bowie) to render assistance to the Stranded and embattled Settelers (farmers, cattlemen, mercantile, etc) living in South Texas, in particular San Antonio area.  Standing shoulder to shoulder with them when surrounded by superior forcers ( mauradering attacks led by Mexican General Santa Ana) at the Famous Battle of "The Last Stand at the ALAMO" \nThe Men, Women, and Children, who were abandonded by Washington D.C. and the Army (Who Strangly enough were ram-rodding the greatest period of Imperalistic Expansion at the time) Were Not Abandonded By The People of Tennessee.  This is a source of Very Deep Pride in Tennessee even to this day.  Tennesseeans will come running -NO QUESTIONS ASKED, at any time, night or day -to help you. :)

Any search engine will work (Google, Yahoo, etc).  You might want to narrow down the topic a bit (ex. battles in NJ, Deborah Sampson, or Fort Ticonderoga).  PBS did a television series called Liberty! which was very good, and there is also info on their website (www.pbs.org).

I suggest to you that you read 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' by Dee Brown; and '500 Nations by Alvin Josephy, Jr.\n\nMost American Indians, if you were to try to discuss openly and fairly with you, would tell you they are quite aware of the tribal divisions among our ancestors.\n\nThese divisions were pivotal in the taking of American Indian lands, as the French, English and U.S. played various tribes against each other by promising them positions of power if their side won.\n\nI believe European history is rife with these kinds of dealings amongst warring factions of peoples too.\n\np.s. who's the author of the book you mention?  And, how could the white hurry up the eventual downfall of the American Indian?  Downfall to who else? The only people to conquer the American Indians WERE the white man.\n\np.p.s. of course tribes fought against each other for control of food supplies, etc. If the early American soil was "soaked in Indian blood", as you suggest, how would you descibe European soil as being?  Europeans killed many more millions of each other before they even thought about sailing over here.\n\np.p.p.s. My e-mail is Wlvrne1964@yahoo.com, if you want to seriously discuss this in a rational way.  I'll address all 3 of your questions.
