The battles of the Revolutionary War have been immortalized in books and films, but rarely do they capture the true nature of 18th century warfare. As silly as it may seem to march into battle in brightly colored uniforms, all the while your enemy is firing right at you, the combat doctrine of the time was methodical, efficient, and made the best use of the most effective tools available. Flintlock muskets and black powder artillery, while cumbersome by today’s standards, changed the face of warfare, and would shape how armies were trained and supplied for years. Join us as we examine the weapons of the American Revolution, how they influenced training and tactics, and how the British and Continental Armies supplied their troops.Presented by Joe Sullivan, Delaware Public Archives.
