Following the American Declaration of Independence, communities
from Boston to Savannah were forced to make a choice: to strike out
for an independent republic, or remain true to the British Crown.
This study explores the origins, methods and combat record of the
combatants on both sides. The American Revolutionary War was
America's first civil war. As the conflict raged from Canada to the
Caribbean and from India to Gibraltar, it was in American
communities that the war was the most intimate, the most personal,
and - accordingly - the most vicious. In 1775, the inhabitants of
British America included those born in North America and newly
arrived immigrants; the established landed aristocracy and the
indigent; the diverse nations of the Native Americans; and people
of African descent, both enslaved and free. The coming of war
forced every person to make the choice of whether to side with the
Patriots or remain loyal to the British Crown. With so many
cross-cutting imperatives, the individual decisions made splintered
communities, sometimes even households, turning neighbour against
neighbour in an escalating spiral of ostracism, embargo, exile,
raid, reprisal and counter-reprisal. Accordingly, the war on the
frontiers and on the margins of conflict was as underhanded and
ugly as any of the 21st century's insurgencies. In this study, the
origins, fighting methods and combat effectiveness of the
combatants fighting on both sides are assessed, notably in three
significant clashes of the American Revolutionary War.
