The British Strategy: The Revolutionary War

The British Strategy:
The goal for the British was to contain revolutionary sentiment to Massachusetts. They also used cannons and muskets with a bayonet to attack the Americans. British forces sailed south from New York City in November 1780 and quickly reconquered Georgia. The British mostlywon all of their wars, but when they fought America their strategy failed. So basicly America won because the British did not really plan what they were doing. But, on the otherhand, America also did not really plan for there attacks either. So the British instead of marching northward, they decided to sieze Philidelphia, and crush washington’s army, which was defending the patriot’s capital. In 1777, The British, designed to split New England off from the rest of the colonies, launched another offensive. The British to say were doing a very good job on the battle because they were doing a sort of hit-and-run tatic. If they had a plan of what they wer going to do and thought it out more clearly they might have won, but they didn’t so they did not win. The whole thing is kind of a mess if you were to ask me. If I were going into battle I would carefully plan the wo=hole thing first, but neither of them did that. …show more content…
The Americans strategy included obtaining foreign support. The Americans did win but they did not have a very organized way. Again they did hit-and-run tatics that helped them win. It is probably the safest way to do a war,but it just makes it last so nuch longer them it would if they just went to the British settlements and fired. But they did win because of their tatics. I do not know why the British did not win even though the British did the same
