first thing, use spell check. second thing, are you a high school dropout or a grade school dropout? if not, then have you ever payed attention to the teacher in history class? or are you just being totally stupid? apparently you are all the above. the americans didn't get the a-bomb until 1945. the american revolution started in 1775 and ended in 1783. did you notice the time gap there einstein??????? |

I think you'll learn the answer to this question a year or two from now in your 4th grade history class. |

perhaps because the "nukes" you refer to came into play roughly 200 years too late to be of any relevance to the tactics of the revolutionary war. |

Historically speaking "nukes" as weapons were not an option until 1945, which was almost 200 years after the revolutionary war.
Secondly, prior to the American Colonies declaring their (our) independence, England had one of the most powerful military forces (and naval forces) in the world. If it weren't for hwlp from various Native American Tribes, and the French, the colonies may very well have lost. |

He was going to. But before he did he was smart enough to pull out his IPhone and read about Nukes on Wikipedia. Of course he found out they hadn't been invented yet, so he went back to checking his stocks and listening to his mp3 collection. |

That would've brought about UN sanctions! Besides, King George had them too, and it was the stated policy of the Continental Congress that the nuclear arsenal of the Continental Army was for deterent purposes only. |

This question is pure comedy gold. Seriously, I laughed out loud. I'm a history major, too, so I should be crying....
David M, get out of my head. I was just about to tell this person that their parents shouldn't let them on the Internets... LOL |

The Revolution was in the 17 hundreds. Nukes were made in the 20th century. As the saying goes, "You shouldn't waste time arguing with an idiot." |

232 years ago, during George Washington's day,
there were no such thing as "nukes." |

Are you for real?? Or just a schoolboy who didn't pay attention in class??
Considering that the Revolutionary War was fought about 170 years BEFORE the invention of the A-bomb, and about 120 years before the discovery of radioactivity, it would have been freakin' impossible for Washington to threaten King George with a nuke.
Not to mention that the only means we'd have of delivering any nuclear weapon would have been on a sail-powered ship, which required months to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Not much of a threat, dude.
D'OH!!! |

The weapon of mass destruction at the time your referring was a closely guarded secret in development and ultimately not deployed against Great Britain.
It consisted of a 1 ton crock of Navy beans soaked in molasses, water and ham hocks. This mixture was then baked for 24 hours. This highly violate mixture when allowed to ferment produced a deadly gas that was also extremely flammable. Plans were drawn up to send clipper ships into British harbors bearing these "Boston Baked Crocks", a suicide navigator would ignite the ship and contents as it approached British piers. Washington, an enlightened gentleman of his time simply could not escalate the war to this new level and inflict great pain and suffering on the British people. Estimates at the time suggested one well placed clipper ship could have killed millions in a combination of poison gas and incendiary explosion. It was also feared that the British might retaliate with the secret "Haggish" bomb against the colonies. Common sense prevailed on both sides and neither weapon was deployed. That's my story, believe it or not... |

YEAH!!! And what's more why didn't the Spartans just pull their Rifles out and start blasting? Jeez? I mean what was the point of swords in the first place with all the guns out there? *note - sarcasm* |

i think you'll find they were invented 200 years after the war, and well we could've threatened you with them if you threatened us, screw you, american scum |

Because all the B-52's were grounded because of bad weather & we didn't have nuclear missle subs yet. Or I could make something up if you'd like. |
