Morristown Winter Encampment 1776-1777

• THESE are the times that try men's souls. The
  summer soldier and the sunshine patriot
  will, in this crisis, shrink from the service
  of their country but he that stands by it
  now, deserves the love and thanks of man and
  woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily
  conquered yet we have this consolation with
  us, that the harder the conflict, the more
  glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap,
  we esteem too lightly it is dearness only that
  gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to
  put a proper price upon its goods and it would
  be strange indeed if so celestial an article as
  FREEDOM should not be highly rated. December
  23rd, 1776

Guerilla Warfare

• While the American Revolutionary War is often
  thought of as a guerrilla war, guerrilla tactics
  were uncommon, and almost all of the battles
  involved conventional battles.
• The war in the South was a war of attrition, as
  such guerilla warfare played an important role in
  defeating the British in the South
• In the south, where the war was very much like a
  Civil War, the brunt of the war was upon militia
  forces they used concealment, surprise, and other
  guerrilla tactics to much advantage.

  at unexpected places and then faded into the

  organized and return fire, one of the most famous
  of these warriors was Francis Marion called "The
  Swamp Fox" by the British. He used decoy and
  ambush tactics to disrupt enemy communications,
  capture supplies, and free prisoners. Marion is
  considered one of the fathers of modern guerilla
  warfare.
