BATTLES OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

A Pocket in The Regimental

The American Revolution was a polical, psychological and economic conflict as well as a military one. However without military success the American Rebellion would have been rememberred as just that, a rebellion, not a revolution and a failed rebellion at that. However, though the Americans did suffer defeats - many of them - they also scored victories even when the victory was nothing more than escaping to fight another day. Such victories against a superior and more numerous foe were great accomplishments. The following is a history of these victories and defeats. The conflicts are grouped in a chronological fashion. There are campaigns, operations, battles and naval battles. Campaigns will relate operational events with reference and links to specific battles more completely described in their own page.
