The Frontier War

The war  suddenly moved West.  and there was a colonel, George Rogers Clark, was a Patriot.

Kaskasia and Cohokia were captured

also, there were 175 soldiers on colonel George's army, so they had people and good support.  British responded and captured the fort at Vinunnes, Indiana. this happened after natives captured British posts. 

In late February of 1779, they reached Clark men who were working volnteers in Vincinnes. They covinced them to abandon the British so they recaptured their fort. But by the end of the war, patrots controlled all Ohio River Valley (1781)

In 1779 Native Americans attacked forts in New York City. The results of that were terrible, and 40 regions ended up burned. Instead of stopping, their attacks just continued. Major General John Sullivan was ordered by Washington to destroy the Iriquois 

The Patriots Strength

George Washington was a key for Patriots because of his knowledge and strategies. Washington sustained the Patriots by hardships.
It is undeniable that the Patriots were a small army, but committed as well. 
One good thing that helped the colonists have peace, was the fact that their wives approved the idea of them going to war, this as small as it seems, was extremely important to the family men, for they could fight and focus on their missions.

Wars are the main economic resource because things are so lack, they were being sold really expensively. This was called Profiteering.
Money was called the continental, and if farmers sold land to Patriots they would get paid with continentals, and if they sold the land to the British, they got paid with gold which was by far more important, but some farmers were loyal to the Patriots though. 

Deborah Sampson got paid to to serve with the military with a pension, and some women would even followed their husbands to wars and they helped cleaning, washing, and firing arms as well. 
Mary Hays, who was also known as Molly Pitcher, gave water to the soldiers at the wars. 

The British Make Mistakes

In the year of 1775, British did not take the Patriots as serious enemies, they knew very well the size of their empire, and the differences they had with Patriots.
in this year, a new commander, Lord William Howe ordered a frontal assault in the middle of the day in order for them to take the hill.
The British underestimated the Patriots, and did not think of them as enemies but as living proof of how powerful they could be. 
Patriots, in the other hand had a psychological victory, because they felt they had defeated the British. But truth was, British had won the war only because of the lack of ammunitions from the Patriots.

On January, 1776 there occurs a change of colonel, Henry K. arrives with reinforcement for the Patriots who were outside Boston. They pushed canons from New York to Boston, and on March of the same year, they get Boston back.
