The American Revolution: 1775-1783

On the Eve of the Revolution ? Britain Americans Advantages ? Disadvantages

Washington’s Headaches Only 1/3 of the colonists were in favor of a war for independence [the other third were Loyalists, and the final third were neutral]. State/colony loyalties. Congress couldn’t tax to raise money for the Continental Army. Poor training [until the arrival of Baron von Steuben.

Exports & Imports: 1768-1783

Military Strategies The Americans The British Attrition [the Brits had a long supply line]. Guerilla tactics [fight an insurgent war  you don’t have to win a battle, just wear the British down] Make an alliance with one of Britain’s enemies. Break the colonies in half by getting between the No. & the So. Blockade the ports to prevent the flow of goods and supplies from an ally. “Divide and Conquer”  use the Loyalists.

Phase I: The Northern Campaign [1775-1776]

The British suffered over 40% casualties. Bunker Hill (June, 1775) The British suffered over 40% casualties.

Canadian Campaign Montreal captured by Continental Army, November 13, 1775. (Brigadier General Montgomery) Montgomery continued to Quebec, where joined by Col. Benedict Arnold. Attacked Quebec New Years Eve, 1775. British won, and Americans fled back to Ft. Ticonderoga. Montreal regained by English. Maps
