American Revolution 2

The Colonists and the British had major problems with each other. Therefore the the American Revolution broke out. The colonists pulled down the statue of the King of England and put the head on a stake. Naturally he did not like that too much. He sent 30,000 troops to fill Boston Harbour. It was the largest sea-borne attack in history. It was a war against the Mother country and it's daughter.


The Howe brothers run the British military and the American military was run by George Washington. The war started in the northern colonies (New York) and then moved south. Washington met with the British General for peace but he refused. The Americans wouldn't give up that easily. They did not want to back down and let the British win. So, the British had to stay in the colonies. They had to wait two months just to get supplies from Britain.


The British did horrible things while they were in the colonies, which spanned a seven year period. They used to wait for American women to walk by them and they would take advantage of them. No wonder why the colonists would not let these people win the war. American soldiers came from every colony. They tried to unite to beat a common enemy, the British. The Americans were getting slaughtered by the British and the Germans that fought with the British. Because the French didn't like the British either, they decided to help the Americans. It's a good thing they did because the colonists didn't have a chance without them.


The British targeted Brooklyn first. 15,000 troops landed on Long Island and the Americans were out numbered 2:1. They fired at very close range during this battle. The Americans held higher ground but they had no organization at all. Not like the British. The British surrounded the Colonists on all sides and so they fled. The British obviously won the battle of New York. The Americans started using Gorilla Warfare. They still were losing. By December of 1776, the British had taken New Jersey as well. The British eventually took all of New England under its control.


British started to head south. They befriend the Iroquois Indians for directional purposes. Americans resorted to knocking down trees and making obstacles so it was harder for the British to pass and sniping them out of trees.
