That is INCORRECT. According to the American Battlefield Trust, the total of the Continental Army was about 231 thousand men, but about 48 thousand men served at one time.
Britain, on the other side, at its peak had 22 thousand men in America, they had about 25 thousand Loyalists - that were Americans but they were faithful to Great Britain -.
Important to know that France helped the American army in a great way and many say that this help was responsible for the British surrender in Yorktown. Germany also helped the British with forces.
