Evaluate the wisdom of British military strategy in 1776, and again in 1778-1781. Were these strategies sound? Why did they fail to achieve victory for the British?
What will be an ideal response?
The Hudson Heights strategy in 1776 was a sound "divide and conquer" strategy. It failed because Howe failed to stick to the plan. The Southern strategy in 1778-1781 was also sound, but Cornwallis was too aggressive to implement it well and he eventually abandoned it altogether.
