Compare the tactics by the french and indian war wih those of the American patriots during the revolution
During the French and Indian War, both the French and the British used traditional military tactics, focusing on large-scale battles and the formation of disciplined troops. They primarily relied on professional armies and trained officers.
In contrast, the American patriots during the Revolution utilized guerrilla warfare tactics. They employed hit-and-run tactics, ambushing British troops and then quickly retreating to avoid direct confrontation. They also utilized their knowledge of the local terrain, such as forests and swamps, to their advantage. This allowed them to effectively disrupt British supply lines and communication networks.
Additionally, the American patriots relied heavily on the support of local militias and citizen-soldiers, rather than a professional standing army. This decentralized approach allowed for greater flexibility and adaptability in their resistance efforts.
Overall, the tactics used by the American patriots during the Revolution were more unconventional and suited to their specific circumstances as a colonial insurgency fighting against a more powerful and traditional military force.
How could John Adam's defend the british soldiers but still be seen as a Patriot

Adams defended the soldiers because many patriots asked him to
Adams defended the soldiers while defending the patriots' belief in justice
Adams defended the soldiers because he thought it would make the British pity the Patriot cause
Adams defended the soldiers while also defending the patriots' belief in justice. By taking on the defense of the British soldiers, Adams was upholding the principle that everyone deserves a fair trial and due process, regardless of their allegiance. This aligns with the Patriots' ideals of fighting for the rights and liberties of all individuals. Adams believed that it was unjust to automatically condemn the soldiers without properly examining the circumstances of the Boston Massacre. By defending them, he demonstrated that the Patriots were committed to upholding justice and the rule of law, even in the face of tensions with the British. This allowed Adams to be seen as a patriot while still advocating for the rights of those on the British side.

The central argument of the American colonists against the Stamp Act that is not understood by the writer is that it is not the amount of tax that is the problem but rather the fact that the colonists were not involved in passing the tax. The colonists believed that as British subjects, they should have representation and a say in decisions that directly affected them, including taxation. They argued that it was unjust for the British government to impose taxes on them without their consent or participation in the legislative process. The lack of representation was a key issue for the American colonists and contributed to their outrage and resistance against the Stamp Act.
