AMERICAN INFANTRY REGIMENTS
AND INDEPENDENT BATTALIONS: TO 1783 - PART 1
The Revolutionary Army
I have shown Continental units first. Since
there were two Canadian regiments, the rebels clearly meant to carry the
war to the British, by deflecting attention. The recently conquered French
in Canada had no apparent love for the 'English' colonials and
rejected the opportunity to join in the rebellion. Cavalry and
artillery are widely involved in combat by their nature, and are usually
conceived by commanders as integral components with infantry in the winning
of land battles. Cavalry, artillery, and infantry were (and still
are) deployed as mutually-supporting, manoeuver elements in land
battles. Cavalry and artillery units often participated at less than full
unit strength in detachments, or companies, to spread their support for
the infantry, which is accepted as the principal manoeuver element. I
have divided the state units into the categories assigned by those states
(Continental, New England, Militia, etc).[1]
