I am reading April Morning and I can’t pinpoint the British’s main fighting method as noted by Adam. Even if you haven’t read April Morning by Howard Fast, please feel free to comment! The book takes place during one morning in the American Revolution.

    The colonists were not as the native americans the british had to continue fighting in formation fall the same as the same as the men were not as highly organized formations made up and the edges of men as the first two sides or back when you try to fight guerilla style meaning small units because standing would move to adapt to fight in.
