How long did the American Revolutionary War last?

Answer 1

Most actual battles lasted only a matter of hours. The forces engaged were never very large, rarely as many as 10,000 on a side, and a decisive result was usually obtained after a time, after which one party or the other usually withdrew. Some campaigns lasted much longer. The campaign around New York, which Washington lost in 1776, lasted three months or so, and included several battles. The siege of Boston in 1775-76 lasted about eleven months, but the only real battle was Bunker Hill. The siege of Yorktown lasted about a month. The Battle of Brandywine Creek, September 11, 1777 was probably one of the longest actual battles, which lasted most of the day. Most of this time was spent with part of the British force making a "demonstration" - a feint - at a Ford, a crossing of the Creek, while a large portion of the British force was marching several miles upstream, crossing, then marching back down the other bank to attack the Patriot flank.

Answer 2

The war started in 1774 and never did officially end until the end of the War of 1812. 'Cause Britain did not leave America until it had an official government that stands. Because before the Constitution, there was some articles called the Articles of Confederation and that was just messing up the ,now, thirteen states. So even after the Revolution, which ended in 1783, there was still a lot of problems going on with the us and the British.
