John Sullivan

John Sullivan (1740 – 1795) was a Brigadier General in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
In 1778, Sullivan presided over the Battle at Rhode Island and wrote a scathing letter criticizing the French fleet's performance in the battle, sparking an international incident. Fortunately, the Colonial Assassins convinced the comte d'Estaing to ignore Sullivan's comments.
Sullivan headed the Sullivan Expedition in 1779, in response to attacks from the British' Iroquois allies. He burned forty villages, massacred their people and salted their land, laying waste to the Kanien'kehá:ka's territory, and even attacked the neutral , turning them into enemies.
