The Battle of Saratoga was considered the turning point of the war. True, it is difficult to war so far from home, no airplanes to transport supplies, knowledge of the land is also imperative. But at Saratoga the British had to give up their notion of the Colonists as a group of rag-tag, untrained, farmer soldiers. The Colonists were fighting for their homes. The Brits had underestimated their opponent and they finally came to that realization.

What was the name of George Washington's favorite horse? \n\nGeorge Washington had many horses, but his favorite may have been Nelson, who served him throughout the Revolutionary War. Nelson remained calm and obedient during the gunfire and confusion of the worst battles. In        recognition of his wartime service, Nelson was retired to pasture after the war. He was never ridden or required to work again.

Yorktown\nAmerican Revolution, 1781\n\nThe Battle of Yorktown was the climax of the American Revolution and directly led to the independence of the United States of America. While others may have been larger and more dramatic, no battle in history has been more influential. From the days following their victory at Yorktown, Americans have steadily gained power and influence up to their present role as the world's most prosperous nation and the only military superpower.\n\nThe idea that a group of poorly armed, loosely organized colonists would have the audacity to challenge the massive, experienced army and navy of their rulers seemed impossible when the revolution's first shots rang out at Lexington and Concord in 1775. The rebels' chances of success seemed even more remote when the American colonies formally declared their independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776.\n\nDespite the huge imbalance of power, the Americans understood that time was on their side. As long as George Washington and his army remained in the field, the newly declared republic survived. Washington did not have to defeat the British; he simply had to avoid having the British defeat him. The longer the war lasted, the greater the odds that the British would become involved in wars that threatened their own islands and that the British public would tire of the war and its costs.\n\nDuring the first year of the war, Washington had lost a series of battles around New York but had withdrawn the bulk of his army to fight another day. Many British commanders had unintentionally aided the American effort with their military ineptness and their belief that the rebels would diplomatically end their revolt.\n\nParticipants on both sides, as well as observers around the world, had begun to take the possibility of American independence seriously only with their victory at Saratoga in October 1777. The poorly executed plan by the British to divide New England from the southern colonies by occupying New York's Hudson River Valley had resulted not only in the surrender of nearly six thousand British soldiers but also in the recognition of the United States as an independent nation by France. The American victory at Saratoga and the entrance of the French into the war also drew Spain and the Netherlands into the fight against England.\n\nBy 1778, neither the British nor the Americans could gain the upper hand, as the war in the northern colonies had come to a stalemate. The British continued to occupy New York and Boston, but they were too weak to crush the rebel army. Washington similarly lacked the strength to attack the British fortresses.\n\nIn late 1778, British commander General Henry Clinton used his superior sea mobility to transfer much of his army under Lord Charles Cornwallis to the southern colonies, where they occupied Savannah and then Charleston the following year. Clinton's plan was for Cornwallis to neutralize the southern colonies, which would cut off supplies to Washington and isolate his army.\n\nWashington countered by dispatching Nathanael Greene, one of his ablest generals, to command the American troops in the South. From 1779 to 1781, Greene and other American commanders fought a guerrilla-like campaign of hit-and-run maneuvers that depleted and exhausted the British. In the spring of 1781, Cornwallis marched into North Carolina and then into Yorktown on the Virginia peninsula flanked by the York and James Rivers. Although his army outnumbered the Americans two to one, Cornwallis fortified the small town and waited for additional men and supplies to arrive by ship.\n\nMeanwhile, more than seven thousand French infantrymen, commanded by Jean Baptiste de Rochambeau, joined Washington's army outside New York, and a French fleet led by Admiral Paul de Grasse waited in the Caribbean, preparing to sail northward. Washington wanted de Grasse to blockade New York while the combined American-French armies attacked Clinton&#39

There wasn't much population in the south then.  Most of the battles were in the north, from Virginia to New York to Connecticut and Massachusetts, mainly.

The American Continental Army led by General George Washington won the American Revolution. They fought against an enemy who was well trained, well armed and well supplied. The factor which played into the favor of American Rebels is that the fight was on their home turf. This should be generally well known.

The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence, was a war fought primarily between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies in North America. The war began largely as a colonial revolt against the economic policies of the British Empire, and eventually widened far beyond British North America, with France, Spain, and the Netherlands entering the war against Great Britain. Additionally, many American Indians fought on both sides of the conflict.\n\nThroughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture colonial coastal cities, but control of the countryside largely eluded them. French involvement proved decisive, with a naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized the independence of the United States of America. Because a great number of colonists fled the thirteen colonies and settled in the north, the war also paved the way for the eventual creation of what would become Canada.

Bunker Hill and Breeds Hill are in the Boston area. Breeds hill is where all the fighting took place and it was bloody. Bunker Hill took after the battles of Lexington and Concord and the British wanted to squash the rebellion in Massachusetts for good.\n\nThe rebels were angry citizens who had been unfairly taxed by Britain and therefore, wanted their own free country. This means they were also willing to die for it. The British and colonists fought at Breeds Hill, until the poorly supplied colonists ran out of ammo. The colonists did not win their freedom that day, but in the end they would at a place called Yorktown.

It was the battle of Guilford Courthouse (near Greensboro, NC).  While we lost that battle, Cornwallis (the English general) said that another such victory for the English and they shall lose the war.  \n\nThe "victory" at Guilford Courthouse cost so many British soldiers that Washington was able to win the next major battle -- and the war!  \n\n(FYI, this was the battle going on in the big scene at the end of Mel Gibson's movie, The Patriot.)

Serious answers? Oh Ok, this time I am being honest when I say I am expert on the American Revolutionary War and the events leading up to it.\nThe Boston Tea party came about because ole King Georgie III made a decree that it was illegal for colonists to use the letter "T".\nNow that don't sound like much, but try and talk without using the letter "T". My last sentence would go like this, "Now ha don' sound like much, bu ry and alk wihou using he leer " ". See why they were ticked off?\nAnyway, they cut out all these letter T's from the local sugar maples and threw it on on of the British ships until it finally capsized.\nTrue story
