Question

Name and describe the new style of fighting that the patriots engaged in which the British were not prepared for.

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The new style of fighting that the patriots engaged in was to wait until the British soldiers were so close to the Patriots. Commander William Prescott had told his troops -that, by the way, were short of ammunition- to wat and not shot until they see "the whites of their eyes."

This new technique really helped the Patriots in the first two English troops¿ assaults in the Battle of Bunker Hill, Massachusettsfought on June 17, 1775. Although the Patriots lost the battle, in the end, there were many Reds' casualties and the British troops realized that the war was going to last more than what they forecasted.
