6th Pennsylvania Regiment Mutiny in Morristown

January 1st, 1781 244 years ago

In early January 1781, about 1,500 soldiers from the 6th Pennsylvania Regiment, led by General Anthony Wayne, rebelled against the Continental Army's winter camp in Morristown, New Jersey. The dissatisfaction stemmed from issues such as pay delays and harsh winter conditions. The soldiers demanded better treatment and conditions, leading to a tense standoff that threatened the unity of the Continental Army during a critical time in the Revolutionary War.
