Michigan had no battles.  Indiana only had Sherman's Raiders, which by your reasoning, didn't count as a battle.  Of all of the Northern states, only Pennsylvania had major action.\n\nConversely, every Southern state had military action, and in most cases, significant military action.  \n\nOf the border states, Maryland had significant military action at Sharpsburg, as Lee's army attempted the same action that would lead to the battle in Pennsylvania a year later at Gettysburg.

Britain raising taxes on the colonist to help defray the costs of the French and Indian War-the colonist protested and refused to pay the taxes.\n3.

The Battle of Bunker Hill wasn't fought on Bunker Hill but on the nearby Breed's Hill. The Battle took place on June 17, 1775, in Boston, near Boston Harbor. The Battle was part of the war for independence between the British and the American colonists.\n\nThe colonists were warned by spies that the British were preparing to march and to seize the Dorchester Heights and Charlestown peninsulas. These peninsulas offered a commanding view of the seaport and harbor, and they were important in preserving the security of Boston.\n\nThe colonists were ordered to start fortifying Bunker Hill but fortified Breed's Hill instead. There are many theories as to why they did this. Some historians say it was a mistake due to incorrect maps or miscalculations during the night. Others think it was a strategic decision because Breed's Hill was closer to Boston Harbor and they could attack British ships as well. Another theory is that the men in the field didn't know how to follow orders and selected the wrong hill.\n\nBoth of the hills were on the Charlestown peninsula, which was approached by a narrow strip of land. Bunker Hill was the higher of the two hills and it overlooked the smaller Breed's Hill. The British could have easily surrounded the peninsula, because all their ships were there, cutting it off. Then the British troops could have made an attack and overpowered the colonists into submission. The colonists would have even aided in this attack by not fortifying the higher Bunker Hill.

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.

After the fighting on July 1, 1863 Lee decided to stay at Gettysburg. Lee saw two hills on the Union left flank. If he could take these hills, the peach orchard and the gorge then he could attack the Union from behind. On the morning of July 2nd 1863 Colonel Vincent observed the upcoming flanking manuver and immediately sent the 20th Maine to Little Round Top to reinforce the artillery at the summet. General Hoode and McClaws's divisons went in to do battle with Union forces. General Hoode took the Peach Orchard and the gorge, now known as "Devils Den", but Colonel Chamberlain and the 20th Maine deprived the South of the high ground. Lee saw his troops go up the top of the hill and therefore, was convinced to attack again. He belived the North did not have resources nor the will to fight.\nJuly 3, 1863 Lee ordered Longstreet to assemble Pictett's Division because they were fresh, he also added units from General Trimble and General Pettigrew's Divisons to assemble as well. Since the other two divisons were from General Ewell's corps Longstreet tried to hand off the command to him. Lee refused. Next Longstreet gave instructions to the divison commanders about where to place their brigades and that the target was a clump of trees near the Union Center. This area now is known as the "Angle". It was General Garnett's responsiblity to make oblique turns with his brigade to deceive Union troops about the charge's direction and spread them out into a thin line. \nThe next thing was a huge artillery bombardment by the confederates, however no advantage was taken and the Union did not respond becasuse it wanted to save its ammo on the upcoming infantry attack. As soon as the rebels left their cover shells began to rain on them, but they went anyway. General Hancock, commanding the Union center was no fool, he read the confederate charge like a book. However he was wounded in the attack. Most rebels did not reach the stonewall of the Union center, those who did were captured quickly or killed. General Arimistead's Virgian brigade was the only one to penetrate the wall, but got no further. Arimistead a good friend of Hancock before the war was mortally wounded by Hancock's men. \nResults Pickett's Division 7 colonels dead, 6 wounded, 2 generals wounded, one dead, loss of 15,000 men plus horses, muskets, and supplies. On July 2nd 1863 Lee lost one of his best divison commanders when General Hood was wounded in Devil's Den.\nLee should have found some high ground, but instead fought fortified positions on rocky hills, gorges, and a ridge that had a stone wall and could eaily be reniforced. Lee beleived his army was invincible, but he was wrong. The Army of Northern Virginia was rebuilt after Gettysburg, the spirit of the arm hadn't been broken. The war would go on, but Lee wanted Gettysburg to be the final battle and the gamble did not payoff.

Yes, I knew that. It's one of a number of incidents which imply that the American forces were, then as now, a rag-bag of ill-disciplined, over-aggressive peasants. They could never have defeated the British Army left to themselves. \n\nIn the Lexington incident, a band of these armed peasants surrendered, and in accordance with the rules of war the British ceased firing and sent two officers to collect their weapons. These officers were unarmed, as the peasants well knew. The peasants refused to hand over their weapons to the officers. They fired on the officers and killed them. \n\nThe Lexington Incident was in the minds of the writers of the Constitution when they referred to "militia" (not "army," notice) and the "right to bear arms." In reality Lexington was no glamorous victory. It was a disgraceful incident showing the Americans' contempt for the rules and rights of war. Nothing changes, does it?\n\nYou are probably aware that the Americans never defeated the British. The British were defeated by a French contingent, who then asked George Washington to take the surrender. The reason they asked Washington to take the surrender was to increase the humiliation of the British soldiery, for Washington's incompetence, rashness and stupidity were all legendary. He could never have defeated the British army, or any other, without the aid of properly trained and equipped foreign troops led by competent generals. France, seeing an opportunity, sent boat-loads of trained soldiers to assist the poor man.\n\nIt's a great shame really. North America could have been quite a decent place to live if it hadn't been for the French interfering.
