What advantages did the colonists have during the Revolutionary War?

Answer 1

1. fighting on own land
2. motivation driven
3. didn't stand out in the outdoors

Answer 2

The 'home town advantage' may well have won the war. The British made for a formidable foe, but they did not known the terrain, support was half a world away in England as were supplies. And lastly was mindset. British soldiers had little to gain personally. The colonists had a cause, for them it was personal. For them, 'give me liberty or give me death' was their driving force.

Answer 3

The colonists advantages were that they were fighting for their land, their homes, their country. This gave them a bit more incentive to win. They didn't have to send clear across the Atlantic for reinforcements as the British did, and were fighting on familiar ground. Both sides received supplies from colonial sources, but the Loyalist supplies were often interdicted by the Americans.

And despite the experience of the British leadership, the colonials had George Washington and many veterans of the French and Indian War.
