What strategic advantage did the thirteen colonies enjoy because of their geographic location?

Asked by BrookLundrigan28

Answer (2)

The geographical size of the thirteen colonies gave it an extreme advantage over the British. Because of the vast territory, the British could not occupy or control the countryside. The lack of control made it possible for patriots to overtake loyalists. The geography gave the thirteen colonies a war advantage.

The thirteen colonies' geographic advantages included vast territory, diverse landscapes, and a larger population, contributing to their success against British forces. Knowledge of the land and access to resources also supported their military efforts. These factors collectively helped them resist and win the American Revolutionary War.
