American Revolution The Americans fought the revolutionary war in a
variety of ways. First, George Washingtons troops were well trained
and faced the British in open warfare. However, Washingtons army
was backed up by local militias, who often used guerilla warfare.

continued to Grow. In 1777, as a British force of 8,000 descended
from Canada to NYC, the colonial army stopped it. In the forests
around Saratoga, the American forces captured the British. This
proved to be a turning point of the war. Saratoga was a turning
point of the war because the American victory convinced the French
to be allies British Surrender Update your maps!!
