      Have you heard of the Battle of Cowpens? American forces marched straight up to British forces and routed them. In real life, flanking attacks in small action battles like this film clip or the Battle of Cowpens, are very difficult. It's easy for the enemy to see you trying to flank w/ pickets/scouts. The enemy just has to wheel right or left to face you. Meanwhile your troops tire out trying to outflank the enemy while the enemy hasn't marched but only did a half wheel.

      @@tomthefox8909 Basically, the firearms back in the day were so shit (inaccurate because of slow-moving projectiles and unrifled barrels, and hard to reload) that you literally needed a wall of them firing to do any substantial damage. Tactics worked like that not because people were somehow less intelligent back in the day despite having some of the greatest modern philosophers and forefathers of science etc., it was just necessitated by the technology.
      Edit: As for keeping the soldiers from fleeing, I'd have to read more about it, but I presume the coupling of harsh punishments and sheer fear of not finding food and dying in a ditch somewhere would contribute to that.

    I wish that a movie would one day accurately depict tactics from the period. For example, a tactic that the British made use of (especially the Scottish regiments) was to advance close to the enemy, fire two crushing volleys and then charge immediately afterwards. The two volleys would disorganize the enemy. The smoke from these volleys would also obscure their charge as it closed the distance. Imagine the terror of getting hit with two volleys of concentrated musketry and then out of the smoke come a bunch of yelling, screaming men with bayonets. It's actually really easy to see how inexperienced militia (and even professional troops) would break and flee in the face of that tactic. This was often used by the Scots because it was an adaptation of the traditional 'highland charge'.
    In general, it was fairly uncommon for the British to use volleys to break the Americans. The British issued bayonets across their army while many Americans lacked the bayonet. In an age where a good soldier could only fire 3-4 rounds per minute, the bayonet was a difference maker. As American forces became better at volley fire, the British were forced to engage in longer firefights. In this case, the British often used 'platoon firing', where the battalion or company would fire by platoons, creating a rippling effect that ensured an almost constant stream of fire into the enemy formation. It did require a high level of coordination and training, so it was not universally used by British regiments at the time. It became much more widely used later, I believe, during the Napoleonic wars where the British faced densely packed but small frontage French columns. Delivering a constant stream of fire to the front of the column was a devastating tactic that allowed the British to effectively counter this feared formation.

    The British were masters of that sort of warfare, and it was the standard fighting method of the time for large formations of troops in open terrain. It required great discipline, good timing, and well-trained troops who would stand up under heavy fire....and maintain a steady rate of fire. It was not so good for attacking well dug in positions (as at Bunker Hill) or dealing with guerrilla tactics (as in forest combat). In that case one had to adopt different tactics to avoid suffering very heavy losses. And then there were lengthy sieges....which again required different tactics. The British were generally good at all these things, but in the case of the American Revolution they were simply unable to bring the conflict to a conclusion, so in the long run it became too expensive for them, and they gave up on the 13 colonies....one of the very few times the British Empire ever conceded defeat in a major war.

Of those 120 wars, they lost the War of Independence with the USA, the Irish war of independence 1919-1921, the first Boer war , the 100 years war with France in the 15th century, the war against the Dutch in the 1660s, and they also got severely defeated by the Afghans when they tried to occupy Afghanistan, so that makes 6 wars they lost out of the 120.

    The biggest Battle of the War actually took place in the Mediterranean. Spanish and French Forces had set up a siege around Gibraltar. In 1780 came the great assault. 55’000 French and Spanish troops supported by their combined fleets attacked the well defended fortress consisting of just 5’000 British and Hessians. The assault failed.
    This came just a year after the combined fleets had attempted to land an army on the South Coast of England.

    That skirmish was fought twice in that episode. Washington was not far and stopped them from retreating, relieved Gen. Green, and took command of the skirmish which lead to the British to retreat from the field. I remember it because it was the first time that I saw a real British tactical withdrawal for that time period, really graceful. In the episode, it was as if the British said "You know what? I'm bored with you." Made an about face and marched calmly off the field while the American forces continued to fire a volley or two. They didn't run off the field. The just turned their backs and continued to march.

And the french) but to try gaslight history is embarrassing. George Washington was taught exclusively by the british, most of your founding fathers were. Also if we wanted to win the war we could of easily, we were beyond doubt the most powerful military to exist in the whole of history at that time. We freed as many African American slaves as we could. To fight in the British army. That's why we recognized the Confederate states despite outlawing slavery long before the American civil war. Yet Lincoln still gets credited for freeing the slaves, when Britain had long established anti slavery laws, and sent a huge chunk of the navy to deal specifically with the slave trade. America is a better country than Britain today. (Britain arrests people for mean tweets). But in the height of the empire Britain was the country that bought prosperity to the four corners of the globe. It will never be repeated, what an extraordinary time it must of been.

    Later the ‘British’ Army available for service in America consisted of:-
    50’000 Brits
    30’000 Hessians serving as Auxiliaries
    25’000 American Tories.

      England and later Britain has a long tradition of only maintaining a very small standing army. During times of war they relied on civilians volunteering to fill the ranks. However on this occasion this did not work. Many Brits refused to fight against what they saw as fellow Englishman. Such a fight they said was unnatural. The politics did not help, as I explained in another comment the Patriot movement started in Britain and revolution in England was only narrowly avoided. To fill the ranks Britain tried press ganging, but this proved so unpopular it had to be stopped. They had more luck recruiting criminals who were given a choice of serving or prison. The entry into the conflict of traditional enemies such as France, Spain, Holland and the Mysore helped to increase the numbers, but it was not until 1783 at the war’s end before the target of 200’000 was achieved.

    They did march in lines back then, they did fire in ranks sometimes, but at that distance, they would've probably just charged, or withdrew. The Battle of Bunker Hills the firing distance was close, and the British did a quick withdraw as it decimated (tore through) their ranks. The musket isn't as inaccurate as many people think. It was inaccurate by today's standards, but a decent grouping can be obtained at 50 yards. The British even had marksmanship competitions in Massachusetts. In the Napoleonic wars it was said "it takes the weight of a man of lead to kill him", and most battles were won with bayonet charges, so highly unlikely a typical engagement would've had the soldiers stand there exchanging shots at that distance.
    If you want to see maybe a more accurate depiction of 18th Century warfare, watch protestors vs. riot police. It's human nature to stand up when fighting and assert, especially when it's politically driven. The goal is to dominate, dissuade, and discourage a political objective. Clausewitz makes this rather clear. If you look at paintings of 18th century warfare, they're messy AF. Today's tactics are a bit more practicality and survival driven, as opposed to emotional and social domination driven.

      Actually, there are many TH-cams where experienced shooters can regularly hit man-sized targets at 100 meters. Certainly, French and British light infantry received more training in hitting targets at 100 meters. Supposively, at 50 yards you have an 80% chance of hitting a man-sized target. The issue may come from the gun themselves. As the firing progressed, you start getting more misfires. The statistic I read was that after the first few shots, you could expect 20% of the muskets to misfire in the line.

      @Abraham Girt Let me educate you about guns and Muskets
      Muskets were muzzle loaders and they were always the Shots (round balls), first the gunpowder was rammed into the muzzle then the shot was loaded and rammed. Now there was always a difference between the inner circumference of the barrel and outer circumference of the shot, so that the shot could be loaded and fired. Even if the tolerance between the muzzle and that of the shot was 0.1 mm then at say 200 metres the error could be as big as 2-5 metres, I am talking CEP, thus against massed ranks, if you fire a muzzle, it could either hit the ground, or 2nd to 5th man on either side. But error was smaller if the distance was smaller. Remember, this Shot did not have anything to keep it stable in the flight. The so called marksmen used many tricks to be accurate. They used gunpowder from consistent source, they also made their own shots based on the musket they had, also there is concept of Wadding where the shot was wadded with small paper or silk cloth so that it sat cozily inside the barrel, this allowed the shot to be fired much straighter and at better velocity as all the hot gases would be behind the shot giving it better power. The same concept is used in Tanks which also have smoothbore barrels and to kill other tanks they use Sabot round which has similar concept. If the round musketball was accurate to say 300 metre what you say, we would not require cartridge.
      The discovery of rifling in the rifle barrel helps to spin (rotation along the axis) the bullet in flight thus giving it flight stability and much more accuracy. Muzzle could be shot at say 1km (as wiki says)but has any musket achieved a kill at that Range? For doing that the musket had to be raised at an angle of 40-60 degrees (Like a bow) to achive that shot, and you how how "accurate" that shot can be.

There are lots of inaccuracies here, but that's probably the most egregious. It would be suicide to stand around and have a firefight at this range.

      That was the problem with muskets. They were horribly inaccurate. It took at least 10 seconds to reload one and if you were alone, you only had enough time for one shot and if you had a group of soldiers closing on you, you might get one, if you're lucky, they fire back and you're either wounded and captured, or dead. They had to stand in long lines, facing each other and all the soldiers in the line had to fire at the same time to have any hope of hitting anything. The bayonet, those blades attached to the muzzles of the muskets, were actually more feared than the muskets themselves. The reason was, they had a triangular shaped blade that left a stab wound the surgeons from that period didn't know how to stich up. By the Revolutionary War, both the British and Continentals were thinking differently. They realized that taking cover and then popping up and firing was more effective than the old fighting style. Something they learned from the local First Nations People. The reason they didn't wear camouflage was because back then it was like a sports team. You had to be wearing your team's colors to tell who was who. There was a battle in the War of 1812, where the British sent an army wearing camouflage to fight the US Army. Upon their return, the British didn't know who they were, since they weren't wearing red and shot them. There's a video on here called Musket Demonstration At Fort Niagara if you want to know more.

    Читаю роман про стрелка Шарпа так вот, с британцами в тех войнах вести перестрелку бесполезно, их учили быстро перезаряжать, стреляли по 3-5 выстрелов в минуту, на перезарядку мушкета у хорошего мушкетёра должно было уходить не больше 20 секунд, так что их просто подавляли огневым валом, да и в рукопашной они тоже были хороши!

    Britain was a naval power, it only had a small army that was tiny by European standards. It was very well trained because it had to compensate for what it lacked in size. The Colonists' real victory was against the Loyalists that made any political resolution impossible. Even in 1782, Washington's New York Campaign ended in debacle.

    Lots of talk about how inaccurate the firearms were back then... to be fair they did have rifles- thing was they cost about 4 times the amount as a rank-and-file smoothbore musket would when you factor the time it would have taken to produce them. Keep in mind, at this point the world was just on the cusp of an industrial revolution but things like guns were still made by craftsmen-admittedly to the same standard pattern, but that was nowhere near the even, precision made mass produced firearms of today. In other words, the skill of the smiths making the guns introduced a significant hurdle into the concept of making all guns EXACTLY alike. And the army is on a budget...so what’re ya gonna do?... That being said, I actually own a musket that I target shoot with and while it is true that you generally wouldn’t put your money on being able to hit a man-sized (or deer sized) target further than a few dozen yards...conversely, you’d be surprised by just how accurate they can be once you get a hand on the mechanics and “personality” of your particular weapon

      @@Richard500 Hunting rifles were rifled. In America you had the Kentucky and Pennslyvania rifles well before the Revolution. Also keep in mind that smoothbores are not that inaccurate. A good smoothbore with experienced shooter can hit at 100 yards - plenty of TH-cams demonstrating that. The big issue is rate of fire. Rifles only work with tight fitting bullets. They would litterally pound the bullet down with a mallet. Might take two minutes to load a rifle. In 2 minutes a British grenadier could fire a volley at 100 yards, walk across the field, maybe fire another volley at 50 yards, close the gap and stick you with a bayonet. Most riflemen would break at that point. Plus, much easier to have troops stand and take it if they are firing - even if you do not hit your target. You feel you are fighting back. Hard to focus on pounding down a bullet while you watch the Grenadier walk up to you. That is why riflemen in Rev War battles are out in front. They are to shoot the officers and NCOs, then fall back to the main line of muskets.

      @@Richard500 The British Ferguson rifle in the Rev War was a breech loading rifle designed and used by troops under Major Ferguson. However, it did have issues. Importantly, it was very weak in the breech area, and easily fractured there. Not good in a military gun on campaign. Also, it was twice as expensive to make as the Brown Bess, and took very skilled gunsmiths. The Baker Rifle avoided the weak breech area problem.
