UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

AMERICAN WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE
1775 - 1783

Revolutionary War Memorial - Valley Forge

The men and women of the Continental Army were ordinary men and women – like many of us, but these everyday men and women were thrust into extraordinary circumstances.  Valley Forge National Historical Park commemorates more than the collective sacrifices and dedication of the Revolutionary War generation, it pays homage to the ability of everyday Americans to pull together and overcome adversity during extraordinary times.

Of all the places associated with the American War for Independence, perhaps none has come to symbolize perseverance and sacrifice more than Valley Forge. The hardships of the encampment claimed the lives of one in ten, nearly all from disease. Despite the privations suffered by the army at Valley Forge, Washington and his generals built a unified professional military organization that ultimately enabled the Continental Army to triumph over the British.

Perhaps one of Washington’s soldiers said it best when he described his reasons for not abandoning the field despite the harsh conditions:  “We had engaged in the defense of our wounded country and . . . we were determined to persevere.”  Private Joseph Plumb Martin, 8th Connecticut regiment, December 1777.

On September 11, 1777 British and American troops met and fought at the Battle of Brandywine.  It was a defeat for the Revolutionary Army enabling the British to occupy Philadelphia, the American capitol.  Congress had fled to York where the seat of government was established.  Valley Forge was chosen as the location for the winter encampment of 1777 - 1778 because it was located near the main road between Philadelphia and York.  The area had natural defence barriers of Mount Joy, Mount Misery and the Schuylkill River.  On December 19, 1777 the army marched in and began to set up the encampment.  Between December and June the army would undergo reorganization and re-supply.  General von Steuben arrived during the encampment and volunteered his services to train the soldiers.  Recruits arrived to join the army as replacements for those lost due to end of enlistment, sickness, or desertion.  They also increased the ranks of the army.  Washington’s Army arrived at Valley Forge as an ill-fed, ragged and indifferently trained organization.  They left six months later with vastly improved training and logistical support as a result of the combined efforts of General Washington and his staff.  By the end of the encampment a new army emerged from Valley Forge and successfully met the highly trained and professional British Army on the field of battle at Monmouth, New Jersey.

The Valley Forge Muster Roll is dedicated to the 30,000 plus men who served at the Valley Forge Encampment under General George Washington during the period of December 1777 to June 1778.  This list provides the only known, record of all of the soldiers who served at the Valley Forge Encampment.

The information found in the Valley Forge Muster Roll was collected and analyzed from official documents located at the Valley Forge National Historical Park and the National Archives and Records Administration.  The information on this list was lovingly gathered and authenticated by dedicated personnel (staff and volunteers) working with the Valley Forge National Historic Park and volunteers from the Lockheed Martin Network of Volunteer Associates (NOVA)

The encampment at Valley Forge from December 1777 through June 1778 was comprised of six regular divisions 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, Support and Sullivan’s, which was a supplemental division. Each division was comprised of three brigades except for Sullivan’s who had one.

INDIAN WARS
1775 - 1842

In the19 century, the incessant Westward expansion of the United States incrementally compelled large numbers of Native Americans to resettle further west, sometimes by force, almost always reluctantly. Under President Andrew Jackson, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which authorized the President to conduct treaties to exchange Indian land east of the Mississippi River for lands west of the river. As many as 100,000 American Indians eventually relocated in the West as a result of this Indian Removal policy. In theory, relocation was supposed to be voluntary (and many Indians did remain in the East), but in practice great pressure was put on American Indian leaders to sign removal treaties. Arguably the most egregious violation of the stated intention of the removal policy was the Treaty of New Echota, which was signed by a dissident faction of Cherokees, but not the elected leadership. The treaty was brutally enforced by President Martin Van Buren, which resulted in the deaths of an estimated 4,000 Cherokees (mostly from disease) on the Trail of Tears.

Conflicts, generally known as “Indian Wars”, broke out between U.S. forces and many different tribes. U.S. government authorities entered numerous treaties during this period, but later abrogated many for various reasons. Well-known military engagements include the Native American victory at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, and the massacre of Native Americans at Wounded Knee in 1890. On January31, 1876, the United States government ordered all remaining Native Americans to move into reservations or reserves. This, together with the near-extinction of the American Bison that many tribes had lived on, set about the downturn of Prairie Culture that had developed around the use of the horse for hunting, travel and trading.

American policy toward Native Americans has been an evolving process. In the late nineteenth century, reformers, in efforts to “civilize” Indians, adapted the practice of educating native children in Indian Boarding Schools. These schools, which were primarily run by Christians, proved traumatic to Indian children, who were forbidden to speak their native languages, taught Christianity instead of their native religions and in numerous other ways forced to abandon their Indian identity and adopt European-American culture. There are also many documented cases of sexual, physical and mental abuses occurring at these schools

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
1861-1865

The American Civil War (1861–1865) also called the Was Between the States was fought in North America between the United States of America, called the Union Forces and the Confederate States of America, a coalition of eleven southern states that declared their independence and claimed the right of secession from the Union. The war produced over 970,000 casualties (3.09% of population), including approximately 560,300 deaths (1.78%), a loss of more American lives than any other conflict in US history. The causes of the war, and even the name of the war itself, are still debated.

During the American Civil War, the Union was a name used to refer to the United Staes, the twenty-four northern states that were not part of the seceding Confederacy. Since the term had been used prior to the war to refer to the entire United States (a “union of states”), using it to apply to the non-secessionist side carried a connotation of legitimacy as the continuation of the pre-existing political entity. Also, in the public dialogue of the United States, new states are “admitted to the Union” and the President’s  annual address to Congress and to the people is referred to as the “State of the Union” Address.

During the American Civil War, Loyalists to the United States living in the Border States and Confederate States were termed Unionists. Nearly 120,000 Southern Unionists served in the Union Army during the Civil War, and every Southern state, except South Carolina, raised ‘Unionists’ regiments. Southern Unionists were extensively used as anti-guerrilla forces and as occupation troops in areas of the Confederacy occupied by the Union.

Since the Civil War, the term has been a widely used synonym for the Northern side of the conflict, and has increasingly lost the more subtle historical connotations. It is usually used in contexts where “United States” might be confusing, “Federal” obscure, or “Yankee” dated or derogatory. Example uses:  Union General Ulysses S. Grant, Union Army of the Potomac, and Union cavalry. However, the term Union remains more popular with historians than it does with the general public.

The Confederate States of America—also referred to as the Confederate States, CSA, the Confederacy and Dixie (colloquially)—was a country that existed between 1861 and 1865  in North America, comprising states that seceded from the United States of America. The territory of the CSA consisted of most of the southeastern portion of today’s United States. As its existence was contested by the United States for the whole of its brief history, there was never a definitive delineation of Confederate States’ northern boundary. Its southern land boundary was with Mexico. It was otherwise bounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.

For most of its life the Confederacy was engaged in a war of independence against the United States, with the vast majority of combat taking place in Southern territory. The Army of Northern Virginia, under General Robert E. Lee, also made limited incursions onto Union soil.

Along with the northwestern counties of Virginia (whose residents did not wish to secede and eventually entered the Union in 1863  as West Virginia), four of the five northernmost “slave states” (Maryland, Delaware, Missouri, and Kentucky) did not secede, and became known as the Border States.

Maryland had numerous pro-Confederate officials, but after rioting in Baltimore and other events had prompted a Federal declaration of martial law, Union troops moved in, and arrested the disloyal elements. Both Missouri and Kentucky remained in the Union, but factions within each state organized governments in exile that were recognized by the CSA.

In Missouri, effective secession was prevented by military intervention by the Union, while the State government under Governor Claiborne F. Jackson, a southern sympathizer, evacuated the state capital of Jefferson City and met in-exile at the town of Neosho, Missouri, adopting a secession ordinance that was recognized by the Confederacy on October 30, 1861, while the Union organized a competing State government by calling a constitutional convention that had originally been convened to vote on secession (Missouri also formed Confederate units).

Although Kentucky did not secede, for a time it declared itself neutral. During a brief occupation by the Confederate Army, Southern sympathizers organized a secession convention, inaugurated a Confederate Governor, and gained recognition from the Confederacy. However, that military occupation turned general popular opinion in Kentucky against the Confederacy, and the state subsequently reaffirmed its loyal status and expelled the Confederate government.

Residents of the northwestern counties of Virginia organized a secession from Virginia, with a plan for gradual emancipation, and entered the Union in 1863 as West Virginia. Similar secessions were supported in some other areas of the Confederacy (such as eastern Tennessee), but were suppressed by declarations of martial law by the Confederacy.

The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System is a computerized database containing very basic facts about servicemen who served on both sides during the Civil War. The initial focus of the CWSS is the Names Index Project, a project to enter names and other basic information from 6.3 million soldier records in the National Archives. The facts about the soldiers were entered from records that are indexed to many millions of other documents about Union and Confederate Civil War soldiers maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration.

Other information includes: histories of regiments in both the Union and Confederate Armies, links to descriptions of 384 significant battles of the war, and other historical information. Additional information about soldiers, sailors, regiments, and battles, as well as prisoner-of-war records and cemetery records, will be added over time.

The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System (CWSS) is a cooperative effort by the National Park Service (NPS) and several other public and private partners, to computerize information about the Civil War. The goal of the CWSS is to increase the American people’s understanding of this decisive era in American history by making information about it widely accessible. The CWSS will enable the public to make a personal link between themselves and history.

AMERICAN BATTLE MONUMENTS COMMISSION
“Time will not dim the glory of their deeds” – General of the Armies John J. Pershing

The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) was established by Congress in 1923 to commemorate the service, sacrifice and achievements of U.S. Armed Forces where they have served overseas since 1917, and within the U.S. when directed by public law.

The ABMC commemorative mission is reflected in 24 overseas military cemeteries that serve as resting places for almost 125,000 American War Dead; on Tablets of the Missing that memorialise more than 94,000 U.S. servicemen and women; and through 25 memorials, monuments and markers.

The Commission maintains several databases, including:

Those interred at the American World War I and World War II cemeteries overseas.

The Missing in Action from World War I and World War II who are memorialized on Tablets of the Missing within the cemeteries and on three memorials in the U.S.

Those killed worldwide during the Korean War.

The Commission also has listings of War Dead and veterans of the Mexican War, Civil War and Spanish-American War who are buried at the ABMC cemeteries in Corozal, Panama, and Mexico City.

WORLD WAR II
1939 - 1945

The World War II Memorial honors the 16 million who served in the armed forces of the U.S., the more than 400,000 who died, and all who supported the war effort from home. Symbolic of the defining event of the 20th Century, the memorial is a monument to the spirit, sacrifice, and commitment of the American people. The Second World War is the only 20th Century event commemorated on the National Mall’s central axis.

Korean War Veterans Memorail

The Department of Defense reports that 54,246 American service men and women lost their lives during the Korean War. This includes all losses world wide. Since the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. honors all U.S. Military who lost their lives during the War, we have tried to obtain the names of those who died in other areas besides Korea during the period June 27, 1950 to July 27, 1954, one year after the Korean Armistice. Accessible electronically at the memorial is a Honor Roll database where all 54,246 should be listed. Unfortunately, a fire at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Missouri destroyed many of the records of service personnel and a complete listing is not available. To date, the database includes the names of nearly 39,000 service men and women who died during that period, including the 8,196 missing that are listed on our Honolulu Memorial.

As there has been no peace treaty, Americans who lost their lives in the Demilitarized Zone of Korea since the Armistice have been included. The 8,196 Americans who were Missing in Action or lost or buried at sea and commemorated at the Honolulu Memorial are included in the database at the Korean War Veterans Memorial.

The curb running along the northern side of the statues contains an alphabetical listing of the 22 nations that participated in the Korean War.  Seventeen nations provided combat units and five medical supports.  As the curb extends into the circular pool it has inscribed the following:

VIETNAM WAR
1955 – 1975

  
The Wall

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial serves as a testament to the sacrifice of American military personnel during one of this nation’s least popular wars. The memorial consists of three distinct sections. “the wall”, the three service men statue and flagpole and the women in service to the Vietnam war statue. The purpose of this memorial is to separate the issue of the sacrifices of the veterans from the U.S. policy in the war, thereby creating a venue for reconciliation.

The Vietnam War (1955–75), was a protracted and unsuccessful effort by South Vietnam and the United States to prevent the communists of North Vietnam from uniting South Vietnam with North Vietnam under their leadership.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., known simply as ‘The Wall’, and was built in Constitution Gardens in Washington, D.C., through private donations from the public, and dedicated in 1982.

Also, standing near ‘The Wall’ is the Vietnam Women’s Memorial and honours the military and civilian women who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War, and was dedicated over Veterans Day weekend on November 19-12, 1993.  Some of their names are with their brothers’ on ‘The Wall.’
