This is a question I always have since starting European War IV. Literally most of the the USA generals are crap quality. (Except Hull and Dearborn)
I wonder why? Any answers?

America at the time didn't have proper officer training (or much of an army), so it makes sense for their generals to be worse on average |

I see...I do not know about USA history much. I only know mostly Europe and Asia. I am a history lover if you dont mind.

America had bad generals during this time- that's why it's such a shock that Britain lost the American Revolution. America's generals do get better after this time period though.

Georges Washington was a very good leader and a fine strategist. He should earn the skill spy since he was able to create a very effective spy network during the independence war. Greene is also very underrated. He was a successful general in the southern colonies. To switch Arnold's skills and his would be totaly right. Arnold betrayed the continental army. His skills however are not that bad. Finally, to addthe Marquis de La Fayette who played a important role during the independence war and the french revolution would have been nice too  |

The Americans won because they had help - it wasn't just a US vs. British affair; the British had their hands full with the other major power (France) at the time. Anglophobe and Francophobe Americans would do well to remember this  |

In most of the major battles of the American Revolution and the War of 1812, the US lost to the British. The US won due to guerilla tactics, foreign aid, familiarity with terrain and other advantages of fighting on your own turf, and a passion for their cause. I think it's fine that the US generals aren't the best, but I would have liked Greene to be better than he is. He was very successful in the Southern campaigns, and deserves to be better.

1775.
Mainly,the british had too much interests in vast areas.
And not enough allies.
Perfect time for the colonies to revolt.
1812.
British civilian weariness of war and
French conquesting had alot of influence.
