Question

True or false when the American revolution began the common thought was that it would be quick avictory for the Continental army

Answer 1

False. When the American Revolution began, many people did not initially believe it would be a quick victory for the Continental Army. In fact, there were significant doubts about the American colonies' ability to succeed against the powerful British military. The revolution was characterized by a series of ups and downs, and many early battles resulted in losses for the Continental forces. It was only later, through perseverance, strategic alliances, and eventual military successes, that the prospect of victory became more realistic.
