Why was guerrilla warfare important during the American revolution?

Answer:

Guerrilla warfare is a style of battle that allows the soldiers to remain hidden while in battle. British troops were taught to fight facing their enemy in an open field lined side by side. The change in warfare style allowed the colonists a better chance at surviving as well as surprise the British.
