Instead of sending more troops and supplies, British officials hoped that many Loyalists in America would rise up to support them. Loyalist sympathies were stronger in the South, so they planned to campaign there.

Historians typically divide British colonial history into at least two distinct Empires; the First Empire lasted until the American Revolution (1775-1783), while the Second began as the British shifted focus from the Americas to Asia and Africa. the year 1750 would fall under the First British Empire, if that helps.


Did king george the 3rd start the American Revolution?

No, he was simply the British King. By this time in History government was being devolved to ministers and parliament. Although King George II was the last British King to lead his troops in battle (Minden, Germany 1759) the effects of the American Revolution on George III were probably a matter of an insignificant colony a very long way away. Although he may well be the focus of the Colonists discontent, I do not think that the King was the cause of it. Obviously the war of revolution was fought against the British Crown, the British & Loyalist forces in North America would believe their fight was a 'legal' one, the colonists thought different.


What john paul Jones do that are so important?

John Paul Jones secured the exchange of British captives for the freedom of American prisoners of war. He also captured a British ship carrying uniforms, winter clothes, and provisions to British soldiers in America, thus depriving them of necessary equipment and aiding the Americans. In addition to this, Captain Jones developed the war tactic of attacking the enemy's home country so they will focus their attention on saving their country and not so much on attacking the American coasts. In fact, Captain Jones was the first person to attack England with a warship since the Vikings first came there.

Also after the defeat of General Burgoyne at Saratoga in 1777 the French intervened on the side of the Americans, this meant that the British had to fight a war on multiple fronts, in America, the Caribbean and Europe. The 13 colonies were no longer the main focus of British attention. The war had popular support among Americans but was very unpopular in Britain.
