How did the patriots beat the British in the American revolution?

In: American Revolution [Edit categories]

Answer:

The Patriots had advantages over the British, knowing the land and being able to forage effectively. They had more accurate rifles, used guerrilla tactics, and had a LOT of help from the French. In the end, the British decided that the fighting was futile and stopped sending troops. This did not, however, dissuade them from one more attempt, 30 years later, in the War of 1812, which ended with another British defeat and the establishment of enduring borders between the US and Canada.
