American Revolution - Who Had the Better Chance of Winning?
By Cathy Pearl 		  
1     The American Revolution had started. The American colonists were fighting to be free from England. Who had the better chance of winning? Both sides had things that would help them. There were also many things that would hurt them in the war.
