hessian order, during the American Revolution, fought against its Continental Army for english red coats - crown. hessians were for aristocratic captures: extreme abduction. The Revolution, Continental Army, was not.
washington an english crown sympathizer unwillingly led the Continental Army, betrayed the entire state of new york to english crown forces until we were liberated by the treaty of paris, 1783, and was executed one year in the presidency for extreme betrayal.
There.s a beautiful poem by Frank O.Hara about this. Frank , who I love as I would a brother, and is a terrible, beautiful influence and partner in my own work, was killed off mastic by a war atrocity. hatred makes you fly and trip in Suffolk County, because it hates Suffolk County, because Suffolk County is independent and free.
Suffolk has been a theater of horrible war atrocities and a gradual approach is best, I think, out of a love generated by recognition and shared values from experience. I mean, I get weighted down like crazy there, and my feet kill me, and I had just got there, tripped so hard from the speed of an impact not generated by my action I had to leave and recoup for two, three weeks.
