Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The British seemed unbeatable. During the previous 100 years, the British had enjoyed triumph after triumph over nations as powerful as France and Spain. At first glance, the odds were clearly against the Americans. A closer look provides insight into how the underdogs emerged victorious. Britain's military was the best in the world. Their soldiers were well equipped, well disciplined, well paid, and well fed. The British navy dominated the seas. Funds were much more easily raised by the Empire than by the Continental Congress. Some of those funds were used to hire Hessian mercenaries to fight the Americans.The Americans had tremendous difficulty raising enough funds to purchase basic supplies for their troops, including shoes and blankets. The British had a winning tradition. Around one in five Americans openly favored the Crown, with about half of the population hoping to avoid the conflict altogether. Most Indian tribes sided with Britain, who promised protection of tribal lands. On the other hand, the Americans had many intangible advantages. The British fought a war far from home. Military orders, troops, and supplies sometimes took months to reach their destinations. The British had an extremely difficult objective. They had to persuade the Americans to give up their claims of independence. As long as the war continued, the colonists' claim continued to gain validity. The geographic vastness of the colonies proved a hindrance to the British effort. Despite occupying every major city, the British remained as at a disadvantage. Americans had a grand cause: fighting for their rights, their independence and their liberty. This cause is much more just than waging a war to deny independence. American military and political leaders were inexperienced, but proved surprisingly competent. The war was expensive and the British population debated its necessity. In Parliament, there were many American sympathizers. Finally, the alliance with the French gave Americans courage and a tangible threat that tipped the scales in America's favor

Answer 2

Answer:

The british (red coats)

Strengths: The British had a well trained army. As well as more soldiers to choose from than the patriots did. Not only did they have a trained army and more soldiers but they also had more money to fight in the war to pay for supplies as well as more soldiers. Also the patriots were fighting THE british who by the way had the number one most powerful navy and well run navy in the world. Also they had more guns plus more ammunition or bullets for those guns.

weaknesses : Although the british definitely had the man power plus money to defeat the patriots they did lack lack in a lot of things that would have probably would have been useful to them. A different uniform would have definitely help them out, their red coats or red uniforms, made them easy targets and prey for the patriots to pinpoint in the wilderness of America. Also the british did not know the terrain very well either.The british were very and a little to overconfident as well as overbearing, and when your over confident it tends to get inside your head that your the best until you become to careless about what your doing. The british also had no motivation ( if you are going to start a war you need a motivation) ,either in the war, some of the soldiers didn't even know what they were even fighting for. Finally the british though they have the best army, they apparently did not even send their best commanding officers, because they thought they didn't need to since the americans probably had no idea what they were doing.

Americans (patriots)

Strengths: Unlike the British the Patriots knew what they were fighting for, they were fighting for their freedom from the british. Also they knew the terrain very well which gave them a great advantage over the british. The war was also a lot more personal to them. They also had a good leadership that also gave them both courage and hope to fight against the british for their family. They also had a very unique war tactic to, the tactic that they used was the hit and run tactic.

Weaknesses: The patriots neither had much money and nor did they have much supplies like the british. They also had an inexperienced militaria while the british had a very experienced military. Their soldiers were very much outnumbered by that of the british army. Plus their army was also poorly trained. The patriots were also playing the rule of the under dog, and were not or had little allies among the colonies.

Explanation:

Cherokee dishes included cornbread, soups, and stews cooked on stone hearths. They made their own pots, utensils and baskets. During the early 1800s, the Cherokee adopted their government to a written constitution and established their own courts and schools. Particularly noteworthy was the invention of written language by the Cherokee scholar Sequoyah in 1821.

During the early 1800s, the Cherokee Outlet was a parcel of land that was intended to serve as a buffer between the Osage and the Western Cherokee. Therefore option A is correct.

What is Cherokee?

When Europe first began colonizing the Americas, one of the greatest politically integrated tribes was the Cherokee, a group of North American Indians with Iroquoian ancestry. The name they go by, Keetoowah or Tsalagi, comes from a Creek phrase that means "people with strange speech."

There was a confederacy that made up the Cherokee people. The Cherokees farmed corn (maize), beans, and squash in addition to weaving baskets and creating ceramics. Elk, bear, and deer provided the meat and clothes. The Busk, or Green Corn, festival, first fruits, and new-fires celebration, was a significant religious event.

Several hundred Cherokee fled to the mountains after being forcibly removed from their homes in 1838, becoming the foundation for the thousands of Cherokee who now reside in western North Carolina.
