1. Benjamin Franklin had began to write his memoirs before the war was even over, which enhanced his reputation.

2. George Washington let Lt. Col. David Humphrey, who was writhing a biography on him, stay at Mount Vernon and aided him wile he was writing it.

3. Marson Locke Weems wrote a biography on Washington that even washington would have been embarrassed by, saying that he was like Moses who led his people from captivity.

4. The Revolutionary war was not the horrible when it came to deaths, not many men died and civilians weren't touched.

5. Union and Confederate soldiers carried rifles with an effective range nearly six times of that of the muskets packed by the men in the continental army.
