D.H.-J.J.- The first time the American and British armies faced each other, the first shot,that started the fighting, was not determined which side it was fired from. It is said that the shot was from someone hunting in the distance and was just heard by the American and British armies and considered a shot fired from the sides to the other, which started the battling and the war. Also many men didn't have boots or coats at the beginning of the war. You could argue that the Americans didn't win their independence, the French won the Americans independence for them.
