The Patriot's or "The Colonist" used spies to sneak up on King George and his army to find out the formation, tactics, and battle plans, and by doing that it help the Patriot's win the Revolutionary War. The spies acted like normal people by blending in with society. The spies told people that they were looking for their father or brother and or they were padderlers so no one would find out about them. Spies were smart when it came to sending messages. They used invisable ink to hide what they are saying just in case the enemeys got their hands on it. So the person reading the letter knew how to get past the invisable ink they would put a F for flame or a A for acid. Spies also used codes which were in numbers so the only person reading it knew what it ment and the only way to know what the codes ment wasto have a code book which had all the codes in it. The only way you could read invisable ink was by placing the letter over a flame or putting acid on the invisable ink. Also to be slick they would put the secret messages between two lines so that it would be hard to fine out that it is hidden with invisable ink. Spies also had to be careful. They did not want to get caught. When spies got caught, they got shot or they got hung and that could a horriable price to pay for helping out your side. For example, Nathen Hale got caught by the British and got hung and he was only 21. All I know is even if I thought standing up for my rights was the right thing to do I wouldnt put my life on the line.
