Liberty, The American Revolution part 2

Throughout the Revolution alliances made a huge impact on the success of the two sides. The British had the German's on their side from the beginning which made them stronger than they were before. The German's helped Britain with supplies, soldiers and any other important necessities they needed for the war. Unlike the British the American's did have the brilliant Benjamin Franklin, without him they would not have ended up with France as an alliance. With the French on their side it helped them reach the large number of the British army which was greater than 8000 plus 400 of the greatest Natives.

Natives had decided to take side of the British as well, because they had been trying to protect their land against the American's. The Natives not only knew the land very well, but they also knew the best places to hunt and hide. Having the Natives on their side gave the British even more of an advantage and caught the American's off guard.

At this point it seemed the British were leading the war, until a British woman, Jay Mcray was brutally murdered by an unknown suspect. These hostile actions were blamed on a Native. This action frightened the colonist's very much as it made them think about what the Natives would do to them. Therefore this pursued many American's to join the army to protect not only themselves, but their families.

The murdering of this women lead to the American army growing larger and larger, which was quiet unfortunate for the British. After the American's surprise attack on the British, they start to use their great number to their advantage since the British were out-numbered 2:1. Burgoyne had then began to panic and sent a frantic notice to General Howe in New York. Although Howe had taken Philadelphia, the American army began to get stronger and win more battles. There was many lost on both side after the win at Brandywine Creek as well. That was one of the British army's last wins over the American's for a while. At Freeman's Farm the American's won taking Burgoynes army hostage, this was only the beginning of the American armies success.
