      During the American Revolutionary War, some of the battles that happened involved large numbers of troops but comparatively low casualties on both sides. This is in part due to the fact that both sides, but especially the American revolutionaries, relied heavily on militia, who were generally unwilling to die for the cause or remain under withering fire for an extended period of time.
