The British Army By Jonathan

The British Army fought in the American Revolution against the Continental Army. They were often called the Redcoats and were the strongest army at the time.They were lead by General William Howe. They had lots of money to buy supplies. They were fighting to keep ownership of the 13 Colonies. The Indians joined Britain's side and fought with them in the war. The British Army had a professional army with trained soldiers.It was harder for the British Army to fight in this war because they had to come to the Colonies and take over the land. The Continental army had to try to hold them off. It was difficult for the British Army because they were also fighting in two other battles at the time. It got even harder to fight in this war when the Continental Army gained French allies. With all these things happening it was to hard for Britain. They lost the war and a ton of land. They also lost ownership of the 13 Colonies.
