Pew Pew
First battle of the war. British marched to capture weapons of the Patriots. First shot known as shot heard round the world. This might be a longer war.
Battle of Lexington and Concord
Fought for both sides, but mainly the British. Often used as scouts. Scalping is not something they did this war.
Native Americans
Commander of the Continental Army. He would outsmart the British again and again. He knew when to retreat.
George Washington
We had the largest navy. That might be helpful.
This document said that we are now the USA. British didn't accept it, though.
Declaration of Independence.
Big L for the Americans. Washington was forced to retreat, and the British thought this early victory would lead to a quick war.
Battle of Long Island (NYC)
Took over farms, business, or followed along the camp. They gained opportunities during the war.
Women
Main writer of the Declaration of Independence.
Thomas Jefferson
We know this land, and were willing to fight for it.
Patriot advantage
Anybody can understand this pamphlet. That King George is a royal brute! Lots of Patriots were created after reading me.
Common Sense
Christmas Night, Washington crossed the Delaware and surprised German Hessians. Then he fled away with a campfire trick and helped win a second battle.
Battle of Trenton and Princeton
Fought on both sides, but more for the British, mainly because America didn't let them fight right away. The Southern states never let them fight.
African Americans
Benedict Arnold
3000 miles, dang that's a long way.
British disadvantage
This document officially ended the Revolutionary War. It happened in a city where a lot of these happen.
Treaty of Paris of 1783
Final major battle of the war. British were surrounded by Washington and the French. Cornwallis surrendered and the war was almost over.
Battle of Yorktown
Whether disguised or hiding out of sight, if they were caught they knew their fate was death by hanging.
Spies
Nathan Hale
British disadvantage
I am the part of the Declaration where the Patriots told the King all of the bad things he did.
List of Grievences
Turning point of the war. This big W for the U.S. would finally convince France to help join the war effort.
Battle of Saratoga
Fought at sea for the U.S. (Not the French) Because of pirates, they already had weapons on board to fight.
Privateers
He spent most of the war in Europe. He helped convince France to join, and helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris.
Ben Franklin
Yesterday I was farming, today I'm fighting. Wow, what a world!
Patriot Disadvantage
After signing the Declaration, this is what Ben Franklin famously said:
"We all must hang together, or most assuredly, we shall all hang separately."
