What was more important to the American Revolution, the conventional war between the Continental and British Army, or the unconventional war between Patriot and Loyalist militia?
Maybe my understanding of the war is flawed, but it seems like essentially two wars were happening, the conventional one between the two armies, and the civil war between everyday people. Is that the right way to think about it?
Additionally it seems like movements between the armies were inter sped with months or even a year of inactivity, why did this war seem to play out slowly?
