Patriot Essay
The traditional tactics of battle where infective against the British because it involved stationary shooting at your opponent in a number of rows. Knocking each row down one by one and the colonist had a hard time in doing this because they were outnumbered by the British. When Benjamin Martin joins the army he changes the traditional fighting style by introducing a new fighting style called guerrilla warfare. This new technique of fighting is successful because it involves the element of surprise over your opponent giving you the upper hand. Tactics similar to Martin’s became the way of the colonial army for the reasons being that the British army was far larger to the colonials and it was almost guaranteed successful.
