Answer 1

The British had several advantages over the colonists during the American war for independence. They had the advantage of fighting on their home turf, a well-trained army, access to funds for recruiting foreign soldiers, and the support of France, Spain, and Germany.

Step-by-step explanation:

The advantages that the British had over the colonists during the American war for independence were:

1. They were battling on their home turf and had access to funds to recruit foreign soldiers. The British forces were familiar with the terrain and had established supply lines and infrastructure in place, giving them an advantage in logistics.
2. They had a well-trained army and had access to funds to recruit foreign soldiers. The British had a professional military with experienced and disciplined soldiers, and their financial resources allowed them to hire foreign troops to bolster their forces.
3. They had the support of France, Spain, and Germany. France, Spain, and Germany provided military and financial support to the British, which further strengthened their position.

Answer 2

A is easily crossed off.

C is too; think about it - would the native americans have wanted the british to win the war? Either way, there are rarely accurate blanket statements like 'ALL the native american tribes and ALL the african americans.' That doesn't happen.
