I discovered an ancestor that fought with the Americans during the Invasion of Canada in 1775. I am curious to find out what type of weapons they would have used. It was early in the war so they would have used whatever was on had for the local Canadian militia or what the Americans brought up with them. Anyone have any ideas on this.
