My I am person is Margaret Corbin, she was a women who fought during the revolutionary war and got the permission from the government to serve as a disabled soldier. She was brave enough to fight with the men and dress up as a man. I already know that her parents were killed by Native American, and she was raised by her uncle with her brother. When she was 21 she got married with her husband,John Corbin, after the marriage her husband got the order to work in the military and serve as the captain. When her husband moved she followed her husband and serve as nurse, washed laundry, she sometimes cooked food for the soldiers. Later on she became the assistant commander of her husband, but from the battle she found out that her husband was dead, which made her to replace her husband's place and fought for the rest of the battle. In that battle lot of people were wounded and she was one of them who could not fully recover her left arm. She was the first women who got the half payment from the congress due to her distinguished bravery. While I was researching the first question that came into my mind was why did she had to follow her husband? Also why did she wanted to fight in revolutionary war while some soldiers were afraid to fight? When I was researching about her I was amazed how she participated in the war like a man.My primary historical question is:
 * How did she get involve in the war?**
