Part of the RetireCoast 250th Series explores the military technology and logistical hardships of the American Revolutionary War in 1776. It contrasts the handcrafted American long rifles, valued for their precision, against the standardized British Brown Bess muskets designed for rapid fire. Beyond small arms, the source examines the heavy investment and extreme labor required to transport artillery and produce gunpowder locally. Uniforms and field tools are also highlighted, illustrating the disparity between the well-equipped British Redcoats and the ragged, resourceful Continental soldiers. Ultimately, this demonstrates how technological adaptation and perseverance shaped the conflict's outcome.
