Detailed explanation-1: -Britain’s military was the best in the world. Their soldiers were well equipped, well disciplined, well paid, and well fed. The British navy dominated the seas. Funds were much more easily raised by the Empire than by the Continental Congress.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Continental Army had a number of advantages over the British army. Their biggest advantage was that they were fighting for a grand cause, their independence and freedom, which was a very motivating factor.
Detailed explanation-3: -Inability to Efficiently Supply the British Army Cornwallis had stretched his supply lines so thin that anything less than a total victory against Nathanael Greene meant the end of his surge. This left him pinned at Yorktown and surrounded by the French Navy. His surrender would end the American Revolutionary War.
