What was one difference between the British and American forces at the beginning of the American Revolution?

Asked by Sixta816

Answer (2)

A major difference between the British and American forces at the start of the American Revolution was that the British had a highly organized national army and navy in comparison to the rebels newly formed military forces. The American Patriots forces were newly formed and were not a regular uniformed military from the start of the war. Over time they became more organized and developed, however at the start they were largely a force made up of average individuals not professional soldiers.

At the start of the American Revolution, the British forces were a highly organized and professional military, whereas the American forces were largely untrained volunteers with varying levels of equipment and organization. This crucial difference affected their initial effectiveness in combat. Over time, the American forces developed into a stronger, more disciplined military.
