Perhaps the ferocity in the American conflict was more pronounced between Patriot and Tory, and the casualties suffered by the total population of the colonies was IIRC extremely high, particularly for a war from the so called "Age of Reason" period where usually the fighting was principally between small trained armies leaving the majority of civillians out of it.carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-58389714055996453452016-02-10T13:27:35.162-08:002016-02-10T13:27:35.162-08:00Some parallels between the Peninsular War and the ...Some parallels between the Peninsular War and the American War of Independence.
