The Newburgh Conspiracy is a good story.  In addition to enjoying a story in history, also recognize its '''historical significance'''.  Why is this particular story important in the history in our nation?  Because this event confirmed civilian authority over the military.  Congress, a civilian authority, decides if and when to pay the soldiers.  The soldiers have the guns, but they must submit to the civilian authority of Congress.

Another historical fact we overlooks is how American Indians survived.  In the northeast, they relied more on farming and foraging (searching widely) for food.  In the Great Plains of the Midwest (west of the Mississippi) and further west, the American Indians relied more on hunting, particularly bison which almost went extinct before conservation efforts increased their numbers again.
