We have all known from before grade school that The American Revolution was won by a classless citizen army made up of farmers and artisans burning with patriotism and determination. Neimeyer (Naval War College) reminds us that being absolutely certain of something does not make it true. He finds that the upper classes generally neglected to sign up, and that the army was primarily composed of African-Americans, Irish, Germans, Native Americans, laborers-for-hire, and white men without fixed addresses; they rarely cared anything about the high ideals being spouted in the drawing rooms and conference halls. They adamantly refused to enlist for the duration of an open-ended war, mutinied, deserted, and resisted officers and government. They were, he demonstrated, real soldiers.
