Bell Ringer! Which side do you think has the advantage? Why?

Advantages Americans – Advantages They were able to fight on their own ground which helped them to know the areas They had a widespread acquaintance with firearms They had better or superior rifles with more range and accuracy than the British They had experience from the French and Indian War which helped to know what they were coming into and what mistakes they made last time British - Advantages They were well trained, equipped, and had exact orders in which they followed very closely They had the best navy which protected the coastlines and supply lines They had Loyalists and Indians to help them fight They had enough money to hire foreign troops from Germany also known as Hessians

Disadvantages Americans - Disadvantages Their army lacked training and discipline (they were taken from their homes handed a gun and were told to kill without much training in the field. Many men deserted the army because they were allowed to leave whenever and when times got hard, men died, or they just didn't want to fight anymore they would flee to their homes. Shortages of ammo, food, clothing, and medicine also made men flee and people die of starvation or weather. Not all colonists supported the Patriot cause They lacked a real navy which hurt them because they had no way to defend the coastlines British - Disadvantages Fighting a long distance from home which made soldiers less effective due to lack of sleep, home sickness, exhaustion, etc. They never adapted their fighting style which hurt them. They believed they could just run Americans over without any problem, this underestimation caused them to be unprepared and lose many men in some cases. They used smoothbore muskets which took longer to load than the American guns so by the time they could get their gun loaded they would be shot.

1 st major battle!

The Battle of Breeds and Bunker Hill June , 1775

Breed’s Hill/Bunker Hill June 16, 1775 –C–Colonel William Prescott and Colonial Militias –1–1,000 Patriots fortified Breed’s Hill, digging trenches and using cotton and hay bales for protection. –T–They planned to take Bunker Hill, but British attacked before these plans were completed

The Battle British troops charged up the hill multiple times American Colonel Prescott ordered, “Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes.” Running low on gun powder/ammunition the patriots retreated towards Bunker Hill British took over both, Americans retreat Casualties 11 346 British (over 40%) !! 44 41 American

What was the outcome… The battle served to prove to the American people that the British Army was not invincible. It became a symbol of national pride and a rallying point of resistance against British rule. The under trained, undermanned, and under supplied Continental Army can stand up to the superior British Army/Navy.
