The Patriots did not really have a fleet of ships...they had to make there own compared to the British who had the ships from England. Brits had supplies and the patriots were always running short of supplies. The patriots were not trained. The Brits were. The Patriots overcame the problems by trying and believing in themselves. I think that if it was not for their generals and leaders that they would not have won the revolution. It was throigh the dumb but persistant persausion and words of the founding fathers like George Washington that they did it and accoplised their victory. I think that it was dumb luck that they won the revolution. However that's my opinion and yours may differ with all due respect, the Brits had the atventage. You know that they had to sail over from engalnd and some went back for supplies and more men so they were used to the seas more so then the Americans.They never really over came it.

Many people had thought that the mighty British navy would crash the much smaller American fleet. British had failed to use their powerful navy during the war.

How was the souths situation in the civil war similar to the situation of the in the patriots in revolutionary war?

In the Civil War, there are many different opinions of right and wrong, but one thing is for sure: Lincoln went against the constitutional rights of the secessed states by forcibly trying to keep them in the Union. In this respect, the Southern states were like the patriots of the Revolution, under the oppressive influence of a sovereign power. Even though the institution they were trying to defend (slavery) was dead wrong, the Union was dead wrong in the way they went about abolishing it. The interesting fact about the Confederacy is that most Confederate soldiers owned no slaves. They were too poor. In Lincoln's defense, he had to do something, and Civil War resulted from his course of action. The only major difference between the South and the patriots of the Revolution is that the Southern states were fighting for their freedom and rights while they were denying freedom to others, which was completely wrong. Something had to be done do abolish slavery. Hopefully that was the answer you were looking for.


Why Did African-Americans patriots fight in the war?

The American Colonists fought the British in the American Revolutionary War because they fought back. When raids occurred in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where houses were burned and women raped, the Americans raised a militia. They attacked the British at Point Pleasant. Then the people of New Hampshire drove out the British for the same reason. Paul Revere tried to get the people of Lexington and Concord worked up about the British Army coming that way. Then fires from burning houses and barns lit the eastern sky. Necked women came screaming begging the local populace to get revenge. The men got their guns and faced the British Army. In Charleston, Mass., the British Army burned the town and abused the women. Men from all around formed a militia and stood up to the militia at the Battle of Bunker Hill. In Virginia, the British burned the town of Norfolk to the ground and again abused the women. A militia from North Carolina arrived and drove off the British. (All this is from the official report to Parliament.)
