Answer:
At the end of the musket most soldiers had a bayonet attached. A bayonet was a sharp pointed metal blade around 17 inches long. The bayonet turned the musket into a spear that could be used to charge and gore an enemy. British soldiers were especially skilled fighters with the bayonet.
Cannon
Both sides used a variety of artillery (large guns) during the war. Cannons could be made somewhat mobile when they were mounted on large wheels. They fired solid shells, exploding shells, and grapeshot. Cannons were effective in destroying fortifications or sinking ships. Sometimes cannons were fired strait at a line of approaching enemy troops tearing right through them and stopping their charge.
The smooth-bore muskets of the Revolutionary War were not very accurate and could not reliably hit a target beyond 100 yards. It took the average soldier around 15 to 20 seconds to load the musket allowing him to fire 3 to 4 shots a minute.
Brown Bess and Bayonet

Volume 1
The weapons and battle tactics used by both sides during the Revolutionary War were consistent with those used by European armies for the previous 15 or so years. Both sides used similar weapons and fought using similar tactics.
Muskets
The primary weapon used by both sides was the musket. The most popular type of musket was the British made Brown Bess. The Brown Bess had a smooth bore and was loaded through the muzzle. Another popular musket was the Charleville made by the French. It was similar to the Brown Bess.
Rifles were also used during the Revolutionary War. Rifles were more accurate than muskets, but took a lot longer time to load. Cavalry (soldiers on horseback) used pistols and sabers to fight with as they were easier to use while riding a horse. Soldiers often carried knives or small hatchets, but these were rarely used in major battles.

Answer:-
Hitler did not invent the hatred of Jews. Jew is Europe had been victims of discrimination and persecution since the Middle Ages, often on religious grounds. Christians saw the Jewish faith as an aberration that had to be quashed. They were forced to convert or else were not allowed to perform certain professions.
In the nineteenth century, religion played a less important and was soon replaced by 'theories'. Theories regarding races and peoples. The idea that the Jews belonged to a different race than the Germans soon caught on. Even those who converted to Christianity were hated because of their bloodline.
Hitler was born in Austria in 1889. He developed his political ideas in Vienna, a city with a large Jewish community, where he lived from 1907 to 1913. In those days, Vienna had a mayor who was very anti-Jewish, and hatred of Jews was very common in the city. But it was not Hitler who invented the hatred. He only capitalized on anti-Semitic ideas that had been around for a long time.
During the First World War(1914-1918), Hitler was a soldier of the German army. At the end of the war Hitler, like many others, could not accept the defeat of the Germans. Soon rumors were spread that Germany was not defeated on the battlefield but by a 'stab-in-the-back'. In simpler terms they Germans were betrayed by the Jews and the communists, who wanted to bring the left-wing government to power. Hitler during the economic crisis became a stereotypical enemy of the Jews an the only way to bring end to the poverty, he thought, was execution of Jews and communists.
During the 1930s, Hitler did everything he could to expel the Jews from German society. Once the war had started, the Nazis resorted to mass murder. Nearly six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. The ideas that Hitler developed in the 1920s remained more or less the same until his death in 1945. What did change is that in 1933, he was handed the power to start realizing them.
