From the Ashanti kings of Ghana, there is a golden stool that is a symbol of their power. It is said to have not been seen by the public for about 300 years. The location of such is is kept secret, and a replica is used for public display. Hope this answers the question.
I believe it would be the spy system. During the war, some americans were for and against the war and independence. To keep in the know of what the british were planning, there was an elaborate spy system to spread information on the british troops where people acted as they were for british rule. :)
hope this helps!!
they were both fighting for the same land
