Weapons of the Revolutionary Period
The Revolutionary period was an aggressive and progressive time for the American people. War was very prevalent in this day and age, so as you can imagine, as the war progressed, so did the machinery. America didn’t have many weapons, apart from the muskets that they already had (and arms we stole from the British). Until of course the French played a pivotal role and supported America with weapons to fend off the British, which inevitably led to us winning the war.
From guns to bayonets, and flask to hold gun powder, etc. War was changing in in this Revolutionary period. Innovations found their feet on the solid land that is America. In the following assemblage, I will be dissecting different types of weapons used in this period.
