- Aqueous 11y agoThe American Revolution was primary a fight between the Continental Army (a military) and the British infantry in the colonies. This is not to say that all of the English that were killed were military, and I'm sure you'll come back of examples of terrorism committed by the Contintental Army or associates, but the strategy of the Contintental Army was to push the British army out of the Americas. And it worked.
