When looking at this you see a strong, organized, what seems to be a powerful Red Coat army, even though the other side looks to be greater in number, the way the Red Coats stand in a line, guns aimed, smoke in the air, along with the way they look to be walking in unison, all make them look superior. And then patriots are all over the place, with the wounded on the ground, looking in every direction, almost as if in chaos. All this makes them look weak and unable to defend themselves. So this piece of propaganda art could have caused fear and anger amongst the colonist because it shows them being attacked and lives being lost by the hands (well guns) of the Red Coats.
