The war has ended, we are a new, free, and independent country. All the patriot soldiers are home once again. I can not thank the men who fought to make this country happen enough. I also thank the women who helped out. Now that all the men have returned home the children are asking where their own father is. It is very late into the night now, but I am going to tell them about this tragedy in the morning. My oldest son will now take over his jobs. We must also plan a funeral for the man who was so brave and went off to fight for his love of this land. I am tired now, and must plan how I will tell the children. As of acouple of days ago the year of 1783 we are a freed country, and i am quite enjoying it.Deverell, William, and Deborah Gray. White. United States History: Beginnings to 1877.

The Battle of Blue Licks,happened today. In the West Appalachians, the British and their Indian allies, the Wyandot, Ottawa, Ojibwa, Shawnee, Mingo, and Delaware inflicted heavy casualties and forced the retreat of Daniel Boone and the Kentucky militia. In response to this, George Rogers Clark leads Kentucky militia on an expedition against the British into Ohio country. These are often considered the last formal battles of the Revolutionary War. This is major for our colony considering it happened in our colony.
