Role of American in french Indian war?
This question has been debated and asked by historians, so there are theories but no answers. One could guess that changes in British policy, the passage of tax bills, and the relations between British and American troops during the war had an effect. Fred Anderson points out in his book People's Army (this is based on diaries kept by American soldiers during the war) that the relationship between the two sides was far from harmonious. The American admired the courage and professional skills of the Redcoats, but were shocked by their profanity, lewdness, and the brutality of their officers. The officers could condemn a man to death for refusing to obey an order and they thought of nothing of whipping soldiers who were caught gambling. When the patriot leaders denounced British tyranny after the Stamp Act ex soldiers found the charges easy to believe. On the British side the officers saw the American troops as dirty, cowardly, and called them "the world's worse soldiers." They used them for fatigue duty and camp guards. This could explain the belief at the start of the revolution when it was assumed that the "rebels" would run away at the very sight of Redcoat bayonets and the men marched in close ranks against the patriots of Bunker Hill. The perceptions of both sides along with the times set the stage for independence.
