One of the most stark contrasts between the British army and the colonial militia was the form of fighting.

The war of 1812 in North America was fought between the United States and the British Empire. Actually Great Britain's forces played only a minor roll in the conflict as most of their military effort at that time was in Europe fighting against Napoleon.

The British encouraged and subsidized Native American raids against American settlements West of the Appalachians.
Because the colonies were under British rule before the war? The definition of a revolution is someone rising up against their rulers.
