Powder horn- there were carried by American soldiers, there were made of plastic and it was water proof, and fire proof. They engraved these horns, were they engraved their cities andother. They also would copy documents and own thoughts. Also images, of family, soldiers, women. They could tell their story through this. This was mostly developed in New England. They wouldmostly use patriotic messages on the horn.

British Gorget- This was a decoration used to demonstrate a soldier rank, this also protected their neck, chest. It mostly was known inthe 18,it was marked to know the year it was made. This was very beautiful and elegant in the British and French armor.

Washington camp cups- these were 3 silver camp cups. Which wereparts of General George Washington camp equipment in the war of independence. They were really 12 cups, and were used to serve wine to guests. They were made in Philadelphia in august 1777.Spanish pistols- these were guns, created by the Spanish gunsmith Miguel Zegarra, un Madrid in 1768.They are popular carried by the Spanish, and were used in the attack on the Britishforts and garrison in the Mississippi valley. Very useful in the independence.

American Cartridge box and ammunition- Americans mostly carried their ammunition in their cartridgeboxes, used on the shoulder or waist. They contained wooden blocks to hold the cartridge. They had round paper tubes containing gunpowder, lead bullets and often-small buckshot that improved asoldier’s chance of hitting his target.

I can see that all of these objects were very helpful in the fight for independence. Although one may think that they didn’t make big differencesbecause of what they were used for, they really changed the war. Little thing makes big details and difference. I think war would be different if there weren’t created this objects.
