How was the continental army able to win the war for independence from Great Britain?
The Continental Army did defeat the British in the Revolutionary War. That's why we no longer honor the queen.
IMPROVED ANSWER:
The reason Americans were able to defeat the British in the American Revolutionary War, was because of "distance." Fighting on unfamiliar territory, having to ship soldiers, weapons, and ammunition across the ocean, it was just as matter of time before the the British would lose the war.
It was a very hard financial burden for the British to fight the war in America. Also, during battles, men of the Continental Army could hide in wilderness regions, and the British were unable to find them.

SteveOne of the main reasons for the Colonists victory against the British, the colonists had an undercover spy network which consisted of spies who were either pretending to be part of the British army. Because of this, the troops were warned of what were supposed to be surprise attacks. This helped change the course of the war. Another reason that the colonists won instead of the highly trained British armies is that they made an alliance with France who sent in generals to train the colonist force. When the French helped train the colonists it increased their chances by giving them better weapons called bayonets and new training.
One way was that Great Britain was far away from the 13 colonies so they got there news back late, and they had to send troops over in ships.

Who put the qoute in the Declaration of Independence 'These united colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent states'?
The phrase "are and of right ought to be..." was not in Jefferson's "rough" draft but was added by the Congress. To find the person (or persons) who recommended that phrase, you will need to do some research. Of the many books that examine the wording and the drafts of the Declaration of Independence and that might have a note about the author(s) of those words, three are easily available:--Pauline Maier, American Scripture: Making the Declaration of Independence--Gary Wills, Inventing America: Jefferson's Declaration of Independence--Carl Becker, Declaration of Independence: A Study in the History of Political IdeasUnfortunately, Jefferson's extensive notes about the history and the development of the Declaration do not mention the phrase or its origin.Here is another clue that might help you in your search. On March 18, 1766, the British Parliament issued the "Declaratory Act" ("An act for the better securing the dependency of his majesty's dominions in America upon the crown and parliament of Great Britain"), in which it was declared that "the said colonies and plantations in America have been, are, and of right ought to be, subordinate unto, and dependent upon the imperial crown and parliament of Great Britain; and that the King's majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons of Great Britain, in parliament assembled, (has), bath, and of right ought to have, full power and authority to make laws and statutes of sufficient force and validity to bind the colonies and people of America, subjects of the crown of Great Britain, in all cases whatsoever...." [emphasis added]Thus, England's own words and justification for keeping the colonies subordinate to her power and authority were turned against her when the colonies announced that "these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States...." Whether that happened by design or by coincidence, you may be able to discern after you have researched the issue.That's nice and all but...Richard Henry Lee originally said that.
Was the Declaration of Independence written by the second continental congress?
Perhaps surprisingly, George Washington was not one of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. He wasn't able to be present during the signing because of official duties in the Colonial Army.
Would you sign the Declaration of Independence?
Honestly if I was able to sign it I would. Because USA would NOT be free
