In the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745, the British government was determined to crush the Highland clans once and for all. To this end, they assembled a formidable army under the command of the Duke of Cumberland. This army was to play a decisive role in the Battle of Culloden, the final and bloodiest battle of the Jacobite rising.

Cumberland's army was a well-trained and experienced force. The core of the army was made up of British regulars, who were supplemented by a number of Highland regiments. The army was also well-equipped, with a large number of artillery pieces. In contrast, the Jacobite army was a much less cohesive force. It was made up of a variety of clans, each with its own leader and its own way of fighting. The Jacobite army was also poorly equipped, with few artillery pieces and a shortage of ammunition.

The Battle of Culloden took place on April 16, 1746. The Jacobite army attacked the British army in a frontal assault, but they were unable to break through the British lines. The British army then counterattacked, and the Jacobite army was routed. The Battle of Culloden was a decisive victory for the British government, and it marked the end of the Jacobite rising.

Cumberland's army played a key role in the victory at Culloden. The army was well-trained, well-equipped, and well-led. The Jacobite army, on the other hand, was poorly trained, poorly equipped, and poorly led. The result was a decisive victory for the British government.
