How was the Continental Navy able to hold its own against Britain's Royal Navy?

History

Monica [59]3 years ago

Answer:

The American Revolutionary War saw a series battles involving naval forces of the British Royal Navy and the Continental Navy from 1775, and of the French Navy from 1778 onwards. While the British enjoyed more numerical victories these battles culminated in the surrender of the British Army force of Lieutenant-General Earl Charles Cornwallis, an event that led directly to the beginning of serious peace negotiations and the eventual end of the war. From the start of the hostilities, the British North American station under Vice-Admiral Samuel Graves blockaded the major colonial ports and carried raids against patriot communities. Colonial forces could do little to stop these developments due to British naval supremacy. In 1777, colonial privateers made raids into British waters capturing merchant ships, which they took into French and Spanish ports, although both were officially neutral. Seeking to challenge Britain, France signed two treaties with America in February 1778, but stopped short of declaring war on Britain. The risk of a French invasion forced the British to concentrate its forces in the English Channel, leaving its forces in North America vulnerable to attacks.

2 things that people did for education in the southern part of America in the 1700's​
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

In the southern colonies, children generally began their education at home. Because the distances between farms and plantations made community schools impossible, plantation owners often hired tutors to teach boys math, classical languages, science, geography, history, etiquette, and plantation management.

if America was never discovered, what would the Spanish do to find another way to get to India? Would the Native Americans unite
SVEN [57.7K]
This is an interesting question, but it supposes nations like Asia or Africa wouldn’t venture off to the Americas themselves (in which many native Americans have connections to Africans). If your question about another way to reach India not going west, then they’d go East, by land. I believe it was just to make it faster to travel by sea though and for more resources. Natives and Africans didn’t colonize (from my research) and if they did it wasn’t nearly as impactful or as cruel as Europeans had done.
