The Colonial Soldiers

The colonial soldiers werent as present day soldiers. Soldiers in England were beggars, farmers, low laborers. and even some thieves who were trying to avoid going to jail. They were well paid in the british colonies. On the other side we have colonial soldiers, the militia. They were wealthy people, people that didnt need to be in the army but they participated because they fought for one reason, liberty. The colonial soldiers fought as indians hiding and shooting from behind trees while the soldiers of England were in a row shooting, a very traditional, but with little efectiveness.
