Patriot Essay Question

In every battle there's a plan in order to succeed. From Benjamin's point of view, attacking the British was duty he needed to accomplish to maintain he's family together. Before Benjamin joined the colonies' army, the battles between the colonies and the British did not succeed; the British had a better army and were also known to fight face to face which happen to favor the British. Benjamin knew that confronting the British's army could be harm so he used the "hit and run" tactic and made the turning point of the war.

The "hit and run" plan ended up favoring the colonies because it help take down more British soldiers without the colonies' soldiers dying. Either way the British did not know what was coming to them thanks to our historic patriot, Benjamin Martin.
