The American Allies
The Americans
The Americans began the war with significant disadvantages compared to the British. They had no national government, no national army or navy, no financial system, no banks, no established credit, and no functioning government departments, such as a treasury. The Congress tried to handle administrative affairs through legislative committees, which proved inefficient. In peacetime the colonies relied heavily on ocean shipping, but that was now shut down by the British blockade. The Americans had a large, relatively prosperous population (when compared to other colonies) that depended not on imports but on local production for food and most supplies, something the British could not sufficiently rely on. They were on their home ground, had a smoothly functioning, well organized system of local and state governments, newspapers and printers, and internal lines of communications. They had a long-established system of local militia, previously used to combat the French and Native Americans, with companies and an officer corps that could form the basis of local militias, and provide a training ground for the national army that the Congress set up. Fighting on their home ground, the Americans were also much more acclimatised to the climate than the British and their allies.
Who were the allies of the American revolution
Native Americans
Most Native Americans rejected pleas that they remain neutral and supported the British Crown, both because of trading relationships and its efforts to prohibit colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. The great majority of the 200,000 Native Americans east of the Mississippi distrusted the colonists and supported the British cause, hoping to forestall continued colonial encroachment on their territories. Those tribes that were more closely involved in colonial trade tended to side with the revolutionaries, although political factors were important as well.
African Americans
There were others like the African Americans They were fighting on both sides of the war. They were on the British side because they said they were against slavery. On the other side most of the African Americans were on the colonial rebels.
Spain And France
There were two more for instance France when they combined with France they made two treaties the Treaty of Amity and Commerce and the Treaty of Alliance were singed between the United States and France. There is one last alliance Spain, Spain was unknown of America until the war in June 21, 1775. They came and joined us in the war against the British.
What Happened To Them
The total loss of lives throughout the war was largely unknown. There were far more deaths from diseases than the actual battle. In between 1775 and 1782 smallpox epidemic crossed North-America killing more than 130,000 people.
My thoughts on my very good topic
My thoughts are very important to my grade. I thought that our allies was a important piece in the Revolutionary War. All they did with us and how they helped us we thank them. The other side of my thoughts are that my topic was stupid because I wanted to have Paul Revere. It's ok though I really didn't need. So thats all of my thoughts that you needed to know.
