Why the rebellion failed
“We were perfectly raw and I do not believe that there was one man in the entire company who even understude the manual of arms”. This shows that they were not prepared for what was about to happen. This would deffinitly be a cause for failure of the rebellion. ” I was rather in front when the fireing began, and stood in more danger from the rifles of my friends than the mosquets of my enemies” This shows they were not organized and did not have the plan fully planned out. This is also a cause for the rebellion. “But 800 ran where no one pursued , and unfortunately ran the wrong way ” This is more proof that the failur of the rebellion was based on not being organized or prepared for what they were about to encounter.
