So the event proved. But, although tlie British profited most by the employment of tlie Indians, they are not alone to blame for using them. So far, certainly, as principle and intention are concerned, the Americans are equitably enti- tled to a due share of the censure.* In recurring to coincident events transpiring in other parts of the country, it must be remarked, that the Commander-in- Chief was often placed in circumstances not the most promis- ing. On his first arrival at the camp before... Boston, the pre- ceding year, he had found only " the materials for a good "army"— not the organized army itself The troops were mostly undisciplined ; and having taken arms to fight for li- berty, it was no easy matter to bring them into those habits of subordination, which necessarily render a soldier a mere ma- chine to be moved at the will of his commander. The first object of General Washington, therefore, was to bring the troops into a state of discipline. But another difficulty pre- sented itself in the fact, that, owing to the short periods of en- listment, the times of service of the greater portion of the army were to expire in November and December.
