    Washington lived an aristocratic lifestyle fox hunting was a favorite leisure activity. Like most Virginia planters, he imported luxuries and other goods from England and paid for them by exporting his tobacco crop. Extravagant spending and the unpredictability of the tobacco market meant that many Virginia planters of Washington's day were losing money.

    These victories alone were not enough to ensure ultimate victory, however, as many did not reenlist or deserted during the harsh winter. Washington reorganized the army with increased rewards for staying and punishment for desertion, which raised troop numbers effectively for subsequent battles.

      A musket is long shot gun and that its range is up to one hundred feet. It has a smooth round ball that shot out and loose gun powdered gun.
  • A musket is a muzzle-loaded, smooth bore long gun, which is intended to be fired from the shoulder. Usually, the musket is thought to be the weapon that replaced the arquebus, and was in turn replaced by the rifle.
  • The main tactic for infantry attacks from 1700 or so was a slow measured advance, with pauses to fire volleys at enemy infantry. The aim was to break the enemy by firepower and leave the pursuit of them to the cavalry. If the defenders did not break and flee, however, a bayonet charge and hand-to-hand combat would be necessary. The French Army was somewhat exceptional in this regard, as many of their officers preferred the a prest attack - a rapid charge using swords or bayonets rather than firepower. However, British General Charles Grey became known as "no flint" Grey because of his fondness for bayonet attacks. By the 18th century a very experienced soldier could load and fire at a rate of around three shots per minute. Soldiers expecting to face musket fire learned disciplined drills to move in precise formations and to obey orders unquestioningly. British soldiers in particular acquired a reputation for drilling until they could perform coolly and automatically in the heat of combat. Use of musket infantry tactics was manipulated to the fullest by King Frederick William I of Prussia in the early 18th century. Prussian troops under his leadership could fire in some cases a shot every 15 seconds with almost unrivaled discipline. The disadvantage of this approach was the amount of time it took to train a soldier; each casualty could mean the loss of man-years of training.

      Muskets used in French-Indian War. Best technology in weapons. Usually have to be shot 40 yards or closer. Very not reliable in long ranges. Had to be shot with very large amounts of men in one line.
