What Alternatives did the colonists have to fighting the british in the Revolutionary war?
Guerilla tactics. Instead of soldiers stand in a line and taking turns shooting one another, Americans would hide behind bushes or take a shot and run away. This is standard now, but it was a brand new idea back then.
The Colonists had more motivation to win the Revolutionary War, so they had more reason to win; the British soldiers only fought because their king said they had to. Of course, the Colonists won, even though they had less soldiers with no experience and few supplies while the British had lots of soldiers, they were all experienced, and the king supplied them with food and water.
