Congress appreciated Pulaski nearly a 100 years ago
While Tadeusz Kościuszko as a hero of 2 nations: Poland and the USA, many people have most likely heard, it seems that Kazimierz Pulaski's heroism did not penetrate so much into the general consciousness. Meanwhile, Americans truly value this Polish general. To prove this, let us note that in 1929 the U.S. legislature decided to establish "the day of Kazimierz Pulaski" on 11 October. As you can see, the White home continues these traditions.
Father of the American cavalry
Kazimierz Pulaski gained American designation as 1 of the heroes of the winning United States independency struggle. As a consequence of the colony's increasing opposition to Britain's policy, the Americans entered into armed action. The conflict occurred between 1775 and 1783 and Pulaski at the time was appointed General. The crucial function he played in the battlefield is shown by the name “father of the American cavalry” he gained. This splendour was due to the fact that he was at the head of the "Pulaski Legion" - which successfully fought at the conflict of Charlestone in 1779. According to the portal history.org.pl, "he died a hero in the conflict of Savannah".
He saved George Washington.
The first president of the United States, as we know, was George Washington. However, fewer people realise that if it were not for the brave attitude of Kazimierz Pulaski, Washington could never have taken that office. During the conflict around the Brandywine River (the first in this war for Pulaski), thanks to the consciousness of the Polish general, the future president of the United States survived. This was due to the fact that Pulaski warned him in time of force from the English branch. In time, that beautiful attitude of Pulaski appreciated the U.S. legislature giving it the rank of Brigadier General.
He opposed Russia in the Bar confederation
The thought behind the Bar Confederacy was to cancel all laws since 1764 (in particular, the equality of dissidents introduced by Russia) and overthrow the submissive to Moscow Stanisław August. The next phase of Confederate action was to bring the Wettins to power. The Bar Confederation was supported by Kazimierz Pulaski, who fought not only for the independency of the USA, but besides in defence of Poland against Russian repression. Unfortunately, the battles between 1768 and 1772 resulted in the defeat of the Confederates and led to the First Partition of Poland.
Sensational reports on... Pulaski gender
Four years ago, American scientists at Georgia confederate University stated that General Kazimierz Pulaski was biologically... a woman. "This is the only way to explain the skeletal features that we discovered during the research," commented Dr. Virginia Estabrook, who was 1 of the anthropologists investigating Polish military bones. any tried to find out if Pulaski could be homosexual, due to the fact that he wrote a joint will with Kazimierz Stanisław Kozłowski – his comrade in arms. Moreover, as onet.pl stated, they "called each another brothers and made each another their only heirs." Why don't we just leave these revelations and treat them as nothing but a insignificant curiosity.
About the past and the present
"Since Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine a year ago, the planet has experienced countless manifestations of courage and devotion of Poles to the fight for freedom and human dignity," said Biden, referring to the "day of Kazimierz Pulaski" besides to the current political situation. surely Poles should be arrogant of the hero of 2 nations: ours and the Americans.
