At the start of the war, the Americans and the British
armies were as different as night and day.
The British were well-armed and well-supplied. They were veterans of wars fought in Europe
as well as the colonies. The American
army on the other hand was inexperienced and had little training. As a result, the Americans initially lost the
early battles against the British. Later
on, they were able to score a victory at Trenton and this helped the rebels
continue the fight and later they were trained by European officers and
eventually won their independence.
