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.

Write an account of the Boston Massacre from the point of view of a British soldier involved in the event.
klio [65]
As we were guarding the courthouse from the colonists they began to riot and become violent. We began to be forced to threaten in order to cease violence. However, the colonists would not stop throwing rocks and insults as they started to charge at us. It was at that moment we were told not to fire. We began to feel as if our lives were in danger so many of us decided that we would rather take the lives of these people than lose our own. That decision we made will go down in history as the Boston Massacre.
