    The Revolutionary War was not a war that was fought just to show the British what the colonials were capable of. It was fought to earn our independence and freedom from the unfair British rule. We knew that we did not want to live like that anymore, so we fought as hard and strategically as we could and in the end won the war and our independence.

    Looking back at Revolutionary War, you might question how America successfully defeated the British considering the British army was the best trained and equipped, and possibly the most professional army in the world. In contrast, America was in a state of disorganization when it came to economics and politics. The national government as a whole was greatly powerless. Unlike the British army, the American army was inadequately trained, had little supplies, and was not paid very well. Practically the British had all of the advantages, but the colonies still won their independence.…

    At the start of the American Revolutionary War the odds were pitted heavily in favor of an easy British victory. The British had the largest empire in the world at the time, the largest navy, and the best trained standing army of the day. America only had a militia, no means of raising money to obtain supplies, and no navy. Also Britain had just finished winning a war to defeat France, which gave the French a reason to help the colonies later in the war. However, even though the British were expected to win, both America and Britain had tactics that were both alike and dissimilar; which in turn played a pivotal role in the outcome of the war. What really helped the colonists during the war was a change…

    I am home, staying safe and I am so nervous for my husband. I know he can do it, but I am so scared for his army. His army only has 20,000 troops and the British had over 30,000 mercenaries. I was worried sick. Elizabeth cared so hard for the sick, and dead and sometimes served in combat. I knew George was nervous, he didn't have a standing army and the British did. Our army was on a shortage of gunpowder, clothing, and food, I so badly wanted to risk my life to give them what they need, so I can help them win the war. Even though our army was on a shortage it was much quicker for us to get our supplies because we’re close to home. The British supplies would take months to come because they were far from…

    Though often portrayed as a moderate effort to remove British control, the American Revolution was radical in the ideals established throughout the revolution. The American Revolution had significant effects on American society as a whole radically changing certain aspects including its social, political, economic, and religious contexts. Also, the status of women, slaves, and Loyalists were radically changed through this endeavor. However, the American Revolution occurred over 3,500 miles away from Britain, the economy was still heavily reliant on Britain, and the acceptance and of Loyalists back into American society and the refrain from their execution are all contributing factors to the case that the American Revolution was moderate.…
