The British Army

The British Army, was the most powerful army in their time. The ones who joined the army were low laborers, beggers and even thiefs trying to escape going to prison, in times of war the salary was alot better so many men would join, leave their family to get well payed. British Army was characterized by their traditional way of fighting and their beautiful and elegant un uniforms. They used to fight by standing in 3 rows, the first row would kneel down with their Brown Bess (the name given to the weapon they used that was a lintlock musket with a long barrel for shooting) in their arm. The second and third row were standign with their brown bess on their head and the shooted in order. They were not likely to shoot unless they were told to and it was necessary.

Their elegant unidorms consisted of a bright red coat with shiny buttons which gave them the name of "Red Coats". A ruffled shirt and tight leggings, with high black boots and a tall black hat. This uniform made all soldiers a visible target, but their training and bravery made them the most powerful army of the time.
