British Army vs. Continental Army

The British face the Patriots in the battles fought during the American Revolution. No one thought that the Continental Army could defeat the most powerful army of Europe.

The British were a well trained army. They had many cannons, bayonets,  supplies of food and provisions. This army had all the material they need to win the war. The British didn´t saw  the Patriots as a strong army that could defeat them. 

 
By the other hand the Continental army lack of all the supplies the British enjoyed. They lack food, clothe, shoes, arms and ammunitions. These soldiers passed through harsh times but their will to be free was stronger than any other thing. An important advantage the Continental army had was that it was guide by George Washington. He planned everything very well and his biggest ideal was to protect his army, this is how the tactic of “protracted war” emerged. This is one reason why the Continental Army resisted for so long.

The biggest difference among these two groups was that the Continental Army fought for freedom and they will never give up until they had accomplished their ideal or died while they had tried. While the British only fought to regain the power they had lost over the colonies. This show us that everything we do from our heart and in the best way we can there’s nothing that can stop us until we had accomplished this ideal.
