If I remember correctly, there was a “Continental Army.” It wasn’t drawn from the whole continent, but it was enough to fight a whole war with the British army

- brookst 2y agoWell yeah the peasants always do the actual fighting. But the impetus and leadership of the American Revolution was, I believe, mostly landed gentry.
- lesuorac 2y agoAt a time where the British were fighting an actual continental war in Europe lol. But anyways, the real point to be made is that it's not the peasants that revolted. But a bunch of merchants from NE that were unhappy about giving the crown money.
