One of reason why the Rebellion failed is because they wern’t properly trained. They had no drills (combat drills) what so ever. Also they were crudely armed, which means they were poorly organized. (Page 1)
The second reason is that some of the rebellion’s men were killed by their own men. One of their men was trying to tell his comrades to stop firing but “it appeared one of our people who was killed was shot in this way by our own men” (page 2). This means that the Rebellion (as I said before) was inexperienced and not well organized.
The final third reason is that they were fighting a more experienced opponent. The British were way more organized and have more troops. The only thing the rebels can do is probably just deny the endible.

Good job. Try to find a general reason that all these facts point towards. When referring to sources, state the name of the writer.
