Unlike the British army, the American army was inadequately trained, had little supplies, and was not paid very well. Practically the British had all of the advantages, but the colonies still won their independence.…

I am home, staying safe and I am so nervous for my husband. I know he can do it, but I am so scared for his army. His army only has 20,000 troops and the British had over 30,000 mercenaries. I was worried sick. Elizabeth cared so hard for the sick, and dead and sometimes served in combat. I knew George was nervous, he didn't have a standing army and the British did. Our army was on a shortage of gunpowder, clothing, and food, I so badly wanted to risk my life to give them what they need, so I can help them win the war. Even though our army was on a shortage it was much quicker for us to get our supplies because we’re close to home. The British supplies would take months to come because they were far from…
Though often portrayed as a moderate effort to remove British control, the American Revolution was radical in the ideals established throughout the revolution. The American Revolution had significant effects on American society as a whole radically changing certain aspects including its social, political, economic, and religious contexts. Also, the status of women, slaves, and Loyalists were radically changed through this endeavor.
