Why did the British exercise restraint in their efforts to defeat the rebellious colonies?
I10schik
The British almost held back some at first because they didn't want to leave the nation in ruins afterwards. Both sides (British and American) in the Revolutionary War thought that they were almost fighting against themselves since many of the Americans considered them to almost British themselves. Also the British thought that for the most part they were going to win and after they did win they wanted to still be trading allies with the Americans. If they were to leave the Nation in ruins after reconquering them they would pick up the debt that they caused themselves and it wouldn't really have been winning.
