American War

Question 1

American colonies were able to defeat Britain by finding some major weakness in British system like major weakness of the British cause was their deficiency of a clear strategy or objective. The Nationalists were cobwebby in their aims; the pursue independence was without halfway house, the American arises had everything to win by triumph and all to lose by overcome, where as the British could last with or without the evolution of the colonies. There was also a central misapprehending amongst the British anterior to 1778 as to whether their devise to recuperate the colonies was to appease with the colonial occupants or to defeat and subdue them to the will of the crown. British attempts to combine political settlement with warfare were gone astray and conquered military operations.

The distribution & allocation of scarce resources, mobility & transportation, as well as the crucial facets of maintaining & setting up supply lines, was a great lesson to take it in the south. His plan would develop into a complete plan to conserves his troops and supply lines, striking when indispensable while at the same time draining the foe's troops and besetting and overstraining the British supply lines. This new-fangled plan was one that together he and George Washington came to agree upon, or perhaps developed together maybe, in this short proclamation Washington with his "one observation" jambs the key to the Radical Army scheme - - a approach that Major Greene enforced with a spiritual devotedness in the South.
