Detailed explanation-1: -The Concord River runs through Concord, and it provided the colonists with a tactical advantage. When the British troops arrived at Concord, the colonists were waiting on the high ground on the other side of the North Bridge, watching the British troops’ movements.
Detailed explanation-2: -Geography contributed to the overall victory at Yorktown because again, the body of water served as another line of defense. The French Navy was able to cut off the escape route the British would have needed to prolong the war.
Detailed explanation-3: -This helped them set up ambushes and traps. For example, the Patriots could hide inside bushes and set a trap for the Redcoats to walk into and get ambushed.
