In order to prevent war with Britain. They sent a letter to King George.
They asked him to consider their problems and to help them to find a solution.
But the king didn't even open the letter. That was the first mistake they make.
Then other mistake that the British make during the American Revolution was in December of 1776 . When British General William Howe decided to stop fighting. This happen during the cold winter months. He was one of the general during the Revolutionary War.
When he come to the colonist in May of 1775 he was a Major General. He led the British troops during this battle. This battle is known as the famous Battle of Bunker Hill. Because of his decision of stop the fight, they allowed the Americans to plan a surprised attack. As a countermove, Ward and the colonial leaders decided to fortify the Charlestown peninsula,it was just across the bay from Boston. On the night of June. The Americans fortified Breed's Hill, in spite of having been instructed to fortify Bunker Hill.
So then the British had two options one of them was that they drive the colonials off the peninsula, or they evacuate Boston. But they chooses to attack. Maybe if they wouldn't choose that, they will win the war .The next day , General Howe was leading the attack. Instead of making a flanking movement they decided to make a frontal attack and this was other big mistake , because they assume that the American Army were few they were run as soon they saw the British coming. But this didnt happen , and they lost the war and many British soldiers died becauses of this mistakes.
