Led by the Continental Congress, the Americans almost lost their war for independence because their military thinking was badly muddled. The embryo nation narrowly escaped from the disastrous results of these misconceptions thanks to the levelheaded intelligence of one man: General George Washington.
Following the flush of small victories in 1775, patriot leaders were convinced that the key to victory was the homegrown militia–local men defending their families and homes. Washington knew that having and maintaining an army of regular professional soldiers was the only way to win independence. He fought bitterly with the leaders in Congress over the creation of a regular army. In the end, he and his army prevailed.
In Strategy of Victory, prolific historian Thomas Fleming examines the battles that created American independence, revealing how the strategy of a professional army, backed by a corps of citizen soldiers determined to fight for their freedom, worked on the battlefield, securing victory, independence and a lasting peace for the young nation.

….with lots and lots and LOTS of help from the French and Spanish who helped so much against the German and Duitch mercenaries all of whom keep being forgotten by American historians

Which reminds me, I have a couple books I want to upload on the help that Spain gave. Almost no one knows about it.

It’s not a very accurate descriptor - do a revolution & you’re right back to where you stared.
The link I drop below is for a US humor magazine, but I thought them accurate.
*5 Myths About the Revolutionary War Everyone Believes*
Since fictional superheroes usually get cool origin stories, it makes sense that an actual global superpower needs to have one. Luckily for the United States, the Revolutionary War was precisely such a tale. Bloody, heroic, and seasoned with all kinds of awesome, the entire eight-year period was dripping with fantastic stories and scrappy underdog moments.
Or was it?

I find the reality version far more interesting & full of captivating colorful characters.
Thanks rmoor. Looking forward to learning more about
the Spanish Connection.

It is the awesome thing about today’s time that we can get the overview of the whole thing regarding an event in history and it’s sad that a lot of what is passed along in history classes is an insanely-abridged summary of cause and effect: the Signers declared themselves independent by putting ink to paper and some battles were fought and they won! Yay! Onto Manifest Destiny….
I agree with @apnea: reality is often more interesting.
Thank you @rmoor for all your historical contributions of late!

I was under the impression that Washington was marginally less of a bungler and somewhat luckier than the British commanders. We shall see.
