John Sullivan

John Sullivan (February 17, 1740 – January 23, 1795) was a brigadier general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.

In 1778, Sullivan presided over the Battle of 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 Admiral d'Estaing to ignore Sullivan's comments.

Sullivan headed the Database/Events (AC3):Sullivan Expedition in 1779, a response to the British' Iroquois allies, burning forty villages, massacring their people and salting their land. He laid waste to the Kanien'kehá:ka's territory, and attacked the neutral Onondaga, turning them into enemies.
