At the onset of the the American Revolution, the British took Patriot forces for little more than a localized rebellion, and aimed to cut New England off from the rest of the 13 Colonies. As American resolve strengthened and other European nations joined the fight, the Crown was not able to overcome the difficulties of waging war across the Atlantic Ocean.
Lt. Gen. Richard Mills (RET.) details the American Revolution from the British perspective.
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
