<span>At first the Americans tried to engage the British using conventional tactics.  The British at the time has seasoned troops who fought in previous conflicts.  They were already disciplined as well as trained and commanded by veteran officers.  The patriots started with volunteers who were new to battle as well as officers who were not on the same level as the British when it comes to experience and training.  That’s why the patriots were defeated in battle during the early days of the Revolution.  Some of those who fought for the Revolution were hunters and were armed with rifled muskets that can shoot farther and was more accurate.  They also knew the land better than anyone and utilized those strengths to fight the British through ambush and shooting them from a distance.  The British were not prepared for this can of fighting which left them easy prey for the patriots.  The hit and run tactics that they used from their experiences and expertise helped in defeating the British troops.</span>

Which of the following groups was NOT one of Southern Africa’s early settlers?
makvit [3.9K]
<span>he history of South Africa is characterized by racial and political violence, territorial conflict, wars of conquest, and inter-ethnic rivalry. The aboriginal Khoi and San lived in the region for millennia. Most of the rest of the population trace their history to later immigration. Africans (also referred to as Bantu) in South Africa are descendants of migrants from central Africa, who first entered southern Africa about 2000 years ago. White South Africans are descendants of later European settlers, mainly from the Netherlands, Germany, France and Britain. The large population of Coloureds, as they were officially classified, are descended at least in part from all of these groups, as well as from slaves imported from Madagascar, East Africa and the then Dutch East Indies. The discoveries of diamonds and gold in the 19th Century had a profound effect on the fortunes of the region, propelling it onto the world stage and introducing a shift away from an exclusively agrarian-based economy towards industrialization and the development of urban infrastructure. The discoveries also led to new conflicts including open warfare between the Boer settlers and imperial Britain. South Africa was under an official system of racial segregation and white minority rule from 1948 known as Apartheid, until its first egalitarian elections on 27 April 1994, when the African National Congress came to power and dominated the politics of the country in alliance with the South African Communist Party and the Congress of South African Trade Unions.</span><span />
