The Serapis Taken Over By The Bonhomme Richard

This was a huge, major FAIL for the British. At this time the British had the most powerful navy in the world. The Americans had a weak one because they didn't have many boats. John Paul Jones, an American naval commander, did something miraculous, however. He and four other boats patrolled the English coast. Jone's vessels approached a convoy of two British warships guarding supply ships. The Bonhomme Richard, Jone's boat, rammed the larger of the two warships, the Serapis. The perhaps over-confident British captain demanded Jones surrender, but Jones replied, "I have not yet begun to fight"! Fighting then broke out. Somehow, the Americans cracked the mast of the Serapis. They had beaten the most powerful navy in the world with a small ship! Major British PHAIL.

Trenton

FAIL OF BUNKER HILL #2

The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on a peninsula. Because of this, the British could've stopped the colonists from escaping by covering the tiny area. The colonists were first at Breed's Hill, but the redcoats pushed them back to Bunker Hill.

When the colonists were at Bunker Hill, they got pushed back further and further. They went through a tiny little line of land. If the British had just put two fat guys it would've covered it and stopped the colonists from escaping. They could've cornered them between two armies and kill the rest of the colonists.

This would've lowered the colonists spirits, and that might have changed the whole outcome of the war, but they didn't cover the area. This raised the colonists spirits, eventually leading to the victory of the war.

Princeton

In the Battle of Princeton, Washington's forces snuck away from the newly captured Trenton (in the middle of the night) and took Princeton with little casualties and fatalities due to the lack of British troops in the town. This lack of troops was due to the fact that the British sent troops to Trenton to take it back. A British spy also sent a note to the British in Princeton, but the General failed to pay attention because he was busy betting on poker. The attack was placed on New Years night which meant that everyone was either celebrating or drunk. FAIL!

Yorktown

On October 19, 1781, a British army under control of General Charles Lord Cornwallis was forced to surrender to General Washington’s combined American and French army. The victory secured independence for the United States and significantly changed the course of world history.  
 Battles of Yorktown in 1781 was a decisive victory by a combined assault of American forces led by General George Washington and French forces led by the Comte de Rochambeau over British forces.

Bunker Hill

The battle of Bunker Hill was a major fail. The colonists were lined up on Bunker Hill, and they were majorly outnumbered, and they had insufficient ammo. When they saw the Redcoats coming up the hill, they waited until they saw the whites of their eyes to shoot to make sure that they hit them. The colonists had a huge tactical advantage because they were shooting DOWN on the redcoats coming up the hill.

The British were losing many people and finally retreated. They came back a little bit later but it gave the colonists time to recover. The British won this war because they occupied Bunker Hill, but they had great losses. The ironic thing was they didn't even need to capture Bunker Hill, it did no good for them.

All it did was made them lose many troops, pointless deaths. This was important to the American Revolution because it gave the colonists spirit and hope, and it showed them that they can win the war no matter that the British Empire is the best army in the world.

Saratoga

Battle of Saratoga (September 19 and October 7,1777).         
This battle is known outside the US as the American war of independence.
The first battle, on September 19, began when Burgoyne moved some of his troops in an attempt to flank the entrenched American position on Bemis Heights. Benedict Arnold , anticipating the maneuver, placed significant forces in his way.
Those few troops made a big difference in the big battles, because they lost many soldiers in those small battles.

Gentlemen's Warfare No Match for Guerrilla

The British used Gentleman's warfare in the Revolutionary War. It wasn't the best warfare to use, however. The Americans used Guerrilla Warfare, which allowed them to hide in bushes and surprise-attack the British. It was a hit-and-run Warfare, which meant they would attack, then run away, which made for less deaths on the American side. The British style of Warfare was that they would line up in three rows. The first row would kneel, the second row would squat, and the third would stand. If you think about it, that was very illogical because it made them very easy to kill, for they were less mobile.
