Ready at a minute's notice, these militia of British America are the top of their game.
Redcoat

Rule Britannia! These blood streaked soldiers helped conquer a mighty empire.
Bonus round: Can the winner beat the conquistador, Arab warrior, or samurai?
Alternate bonus: 100 vs 100 battle.
The redcoat takes it; Better training.

Yeah, that was my thought too

And for the bonus round, I don't expect them to have any trouble beating an Arab warrior, conquistador or samurai, simply due to having superior weapons.

Well, the conquistador, samurai, and arab might be on horseback.
Also, the redcoat has the advantage of a better bayonet and nourishment as while Minutemen did benefit from a farm raised diet, they suffered malnutrition for much of the American Revolution. Fellow Americans will scream that America won the war but they forgot that it was a close call and the British won many of the battles and even those they lost tended to end in high Rebel casualties. So the Redcoat wins this for sure.

Perhaps, but I don't think it'll be
that much of an advantage - especially if the Redcoat has a bayonet, since that'd be useful against any charging attacks

The bayonet only helps if it’s an army fight; one on one and the infantryman’s screwed beyond screwed.

Well, I wouldn't say 'screwed beyond screwed'... the horse may be larger than the Redcoat, but that also means it's easier for him to hit with his bullets

.
With that being said, he doesn't want to allow his mounted opponent to get close to him... he
would be outmatched in a melee fight!
The only way the minuteman could win is if it’s an army battle and it’s Nathaniel Greene or someone like that commanding the rebel force.
For the bonus battles, the conquistador loses; He’s behind in technology. The Arab warrior might win if he’s on horseback and the redcoat’s on foot or if his bow gets a good shot. The samurai would either shoot the redcoat up with arrows, impale him with a Yari, or trample him to death.
Well, if anything, I'd expect the Redcoats to fare even better in an army battle than in one-on-one: they have superior training, and that would probably count for more in an army battle than one-on-one (since they'd be in a more organised formation, and they'd be able to use army tactics that aren't really possible in one-on-one).
Also, I'm surprised you say the conquistador loses due to being "behind on technology", but then have the samurai winning with a spear and/or a bow - so, what gives

?

It’s no wonder Washington lost most of his battles against the British Army.
