How far is the Crimean War 1854 -56 a turning point in land warfare 1792-1945? Many historians argue that the Crimean War was a turning point in land warfare. It is undeniably true that the leadership styles are continuous throughout 1792-1945. However in terms of weapons and logistics there were big changes made, for example the magazine system had advanced to the use of railways in 1959, this was first used in the Franco-Austrian war.

I especially enjoyed his analysis on the vigilantes and in particular the American Protective League (APL) which is a fairly significant picture of the state of affairs within our country and moreover, the lack of control the government had against the people.

One of the most close-minded settlements in America was New England, this was both a good and a bad thing as it brought the settlers closer together, but also pushed outsiders away. The Middle Colonies accepted many more churches, as there was a greater amount of ethnic and religious diversity. This shows the importance of religion by highlighting how it brought people with common religions together to form colonies and gave incentive to people who lived in England to immigrate to America for more religious freedom than they previously had. Colonists were provided with even more reason to practice their religion and continue their work in America for a better, more liberated life.
