British advantages and disadvantages during the revolutionary war

can you help me with this question.. likee in short sentences. I need to write a pararaph but I will do by my self I just need some thing to start with please and thank you compare American + British advantages and disadvantages during the revolutionary war

Answer #1

One of America’s biggest advantages was having France as an ally. After Saratoga, Benjamin Franklin was able to work with the Count de Vergennes in convincing King Louis XVI to support the American war effort. Besides providing a lot of money, weapons, and eventually, naval and ground support directly to America, France also attacked the British Empire across the globe, from the Caribbean to Egypt to India, forcing Britain to divert manpower and resources and making the war even more unpopular among Brits.

Answer #2

Another point is that our Revolutionary War was not popular in England. The attitude of most Brits was let them have the God forsaken place.

Colonists were very resourceful at guerrilla warfare and often British soldiers were sitting ducks but had the British Empire used its full resources the revolution would have been quickly put down. Not even all Americans supported the revolution. Like today the wealthy were happy with the status quo; many of these folks would have been happy to remain British subjects.

Answer #3

You forgot some important stuff

namely

Yanks were aided by the other two great powers at the time, Spain and France (we would have given you a good pasting if not for that!)

Answer #4

The British were better trained in their army & its leaders. Years of training. They had great uniforms. The uniforms did make it easy to spot them. haha! British had more money for supplies. British had ships to garner supplies. The British paid their military.

The Americans adapted their tactics to fit conditions. The British marched in line making it easy from behind trees to pick them off. The British never adapted to change in fighting. The Americans fought for freedom & had a cause. Short of supplies the Americans learned to use of materials. Americans blocked British ships from docking. American leadership like General Washington inspired troops.

On paper, the British should have won but Americans have proved themself to be resourceful

Answer #5

Let’s face it too, it’s not as if the Americans really had any proper grievances.
