Are you saying that the Peninsular Campaign was an example of an offensive strategy?
Edit: would you agree that the Confederates during the Civil War were pretty much in the same strategic position that we were in during the Revolutionary War?
Not even hardly.[/QUOTE]
The Peninsular Wars were an example of good defensive strategy on the part of the Spanish, and an example of Clausewitz' maxim that defense is the stronger from or war (which is different from saying the defensive side will always win.)
As for the Patriots vs. the Confederates, it is my belief that their situations weren't the same, but were similar enough.
