Question

Battles of the American Revolution Assignment

Answer 1

Answer:

I hope this helps you. I copied and paste this from an assignment I did for Battle of Saratoga-

Explanation:

the British didn’t know much about the land, they were basically roaming around trying to find the Americans to kill them off. On the other hand, the Americans knew the land more since they grew up in that area which made it much easier for them to find their way to the British. The British were also using muskets which were outdated from what the Americans were using which were long rifles which were lightweight. The Americans used native American tactics (speed, stealth, and surprise) against the Natives and British which caused them to be surprised them by the Americans shooting at them. Having outdated weapons, the British lost many Native Americans who were there to guide them to where the Americans were and to reclaim their land. The British also lost their leader during the shooting near Saratoga which made the British soldiers leaderless and they didn’t know what to do. So the British without commands from their leader, lost around one thousand men, which was twice as the Americans that died. This also impacted the Americans relationship between France / King Louis because they proved to him that they successfully won against the British in Saratoga, which what France wanted to see. And some days later, France and Spain joined forces with the American army against the British to defeat them. This event turned the tide of the war.
