Can you source that?
(My son is quite interested in the American Revolution.)
I can but it will take me a while. I don't have it readily available.
most of the cannon used in the American revolution were privately owned. Can you source that?
I'll also vouch for that statement. Many of the militia groups raised during the American revolution were headed by wealthy patriots who purchased the heavy arms themselves. I don't have the source readily available either but I know there is quite a bit of documentation about this.
