irregular militia, disrupting British tactics. The colonists' guerrilla warfare emphasized

feel valued and supported by their communities and the nation.

Battle of Yorktown in 1781, the Battle of Trenton in 1776, the Siege of Boston in 1776, and the
Battle of Bunker Hill in 1783. These battles and campaigns contributed to the eventual success
of the American Revolution, securing the nation's independence from British rule.
V. Comparing and contrasting

achieving victory.

and resources for the colonial army.
