the continental militia had distinctive uniforms, and a command structure bunny.
thats a lawful combatant.
even the irregulars had a badge for their jacket, militia commanders and were in fact "well regulated"
And yet, out of uniform, you were hanged. And you could say, Give me Liberty or give me Death!
See how ignorant we have become?
The war in 1776 was also our first Civil War. Which we also won. New York against Boston. Tory vs Wing. And like the 2nd Civil War many summary executions did occur, along with the usual lynching of collaborators, punishment rape of women, and the burning of farmsteads.
