Colonist Advantages/Disadvantages not experienced army and navy not much ammunition and weapons 1 in 5 colonist was Loyalist (Tory = loyal to king) Less soldiers GEORGE WASHINGTON guerilla warfare (learned from Native Americans)

Battle at Bunker Hill Really called Breed’s Hill. Colonists ran out of ammunition and had to withdraw. Technically, British won, but sustained heavy losses (over 1,000 casualties)

America Divided 20-30% of Americans were Loyalists 40-45% of Americans were Patriots Rest were Neutral Who Fought? New England and VA were split African Americans fought for British and North (Banned in the south) Largest Indian War in history
