American revolution this will be the history
of South Canada. But some changes, such as the Industrial Revolution, actually change things. But the 1700s were an excellent hundred of rich white boys everywhere. I mean, they were exhibiting in Holland and Portugal and Spain, but only the United States became the founding country of baseball, Model T, and competitive food. So you are right, I am from the Past, but even if the US did not live up to its rhetoric, that rhetoric was still powerful. And in the end whether you really care about ideas or policy means you think that the American Revolution really was the Revolution The main strategy of the English in the Revolutionary war was to capture all the cities and force the colonies to surrender. And the first part of that strategy worked very well. They captured Boston and New York and Charleston, but all the colonies had to do was NOTHING.
So while the British occupied cities, Americans, or continents, they clung to the countryside. The most famous battle was probably the battle of Trenton, Washington to the surprise of the Hesse crowd, which was a remarkable victory especially as they had just emerged from a series of defeats. But he could not turn it into a livelihood, and he ended up spending a rough winter in Valley Forge. But remember, generals always eat. But the most important war, at least in the North, was not Trenton, but Saratoga. This was a major defeat for the English, and while it is often cited as an example of Continental manhood, the British suffered a great loss due to bad language. The French would eventually come to our aid, which would lead to their rebellion. As a thank you, we named our most important food for them.
To the south the city-state trend continued as the English occupied Charleston but continued to lose small scale battles and were plagued by guerrilla style tactics. The main war force in the south - because that is where the British surrendered - was in Yorktown in 1781. King Cornwallis made the wise decision to station his troops on a peninsula, which was surrounded on three sides by French water. ships, and the British lost the war. What did all of this mean for real people? Well, the American people like to think that we all came together and removed the English dictatorship, and lived happily ever after. And that the continent's army was a brave, very loyal, and successful force in the history of mankind thanks to the leadership of George Washington. [Patriotic Rock Music] But really, yes, let's go overboard with this idea. Conduct between the military on the continent was often very low. The budget was poor and the soldiers were not paid. As Joseph Plumb Martin, a Connecticut soldier, wrote, they felt that they were “extremely hungry by the ungrateful people who did not care what happened to us.” And many other colonies did not fight for independence; they fought the English.
Some did not want to fight, such as Quakers, who were often robbed of their possessions when they refused to fight. And in colonial America, of course, losing property also meant losing rights. And for slaves, the so-called liberation struggle was very different from the Army of the Continent, because loyalty to Britain in the war could mean freedom. In 1775, British Emperor Lord Dunmore issued a proclamation granting freedom to any slave who renounced his master and fought for the English. Nearly 5,000 slaves agreed. And moreover, many slaves saw the revolutionas an opportunity to escape. Boston King left a vicious king and later wrote, “I decided to go to Charles-Town and throw myself into British hands. They immediately welcomed me, and I started to feel the joy of freedom, something I had never known before. ” An estimated 100,000 slaves fled to Britain. Now, many slaves were returned to their masters, but more than 15,000 left the U.S. And it is worth remembering that the British empire abolished slavery throughout 1843 and without civil war. Thanks, Bubble Thoughts. Therefore, Native Americans were also deeply affected by the Revolutionary War.
In general, they wanted to get out of it, and the Colonies especially wanted to be neutral, too. For example, the Continental Conference was eager to remind the Iroquois of their neutral stand, writing: “This is a family conflict between us and Old England. You Indians don't care. We do not wish you to take the pinafore against the king's troops. We wish you stay at home, and not just on both sides, but keep your hatchet deep. "However, most Iroquois fought for the British, however. Oneida joined the Patriots, fighting against the Iroquois.
