Question

What were two advantages that the american forces led by andrew jackson had over general pakenham experienced british army being outnumbered

Answer 1

British forces in Canada were professional and well trained, but they were outnumbered by the American army sent to destroy them. However, Britain's native allies did much to compensate for its army's inferior numbers during the war. The British army was also handicapped by geography. While the Americans could concentrate their forces anywhere, Canadian forces had to be divided between remote outposts in Upper Canada, Montreal, and Quebec City. Montreal and Quebec City were especially vital.
