American Revolution

You can't really see the pics, but i have Mel Gibson, who we all know as the one who killed all those people, cut them up and ate them or something like that. Theres ole' George, one of the American generals. The Sons of Liberty, who spread the word and made everyone hate Britain. Nathanael Greene, general who cleared out Georgia and SC from the redcoats. A pic of the surrender after the Battle of Saratoga, which was the most important battle of the revolution. We got the traitor, Benedict Arnold up there next. On the next row we have the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, and Common Sense, written by Thomas Paine. And lastly, Benjamin Franklin who helped forge the Franco-American Alliance.

best navy in world
slaves sided with Britain; told they would be freed
50,000 man professional army
Weaknesses of Britain:
