Britain didn't really lose...they just kinda gave
up and said "Okay fine, be independent. You'll
be sorry." Britain had too much other stuff to
worry about than some rebellious colonies.
They figured we'd be begging to take us back
in a few years.

Also, logistics. Like Howard said, they were
supplying an army from an ocean away,
without the naval technology that we have
today.

Guerrilla warfare also had a good bit to do
with it. Britain's tactics were horrible. Plus,
those bright red suits made great targets.

Didn't the Americans also have superior
commanders? Most of Britain's commanders
in the colonies were "royal appointees" or
whatever, meaning they were politicians who
didn't have a clue. Am I correct?
