Some reasons for the failure of British troops in the South are as follows:

  • The British had to divert troops to defend gulf coast forts under Spanish attack.
  • Rebels used guerrilla warfare, while the British were used to a more forthright style of war.
  • The British overestimated the loyalist faction.
  • The British got too far away from their fleet and had no reliable supply lines.

What are 5 reasons for separation from England stated in the declaration of independence?

In the Declaration of Independence, the colonists listed several reasons for separation from England. One reason is that the British king and parliament had enacted taxes on the colonists without their consent as the colonists had no representatives in the British Parliament. Another reason is that the British government had sent British soldiers to the colonies, where they were expected to be fed and housed by the colonists. A third reason is that the colonists were given 'mock' trials oftentimes without a jury. A fourth reason is that the coloniesÕ representative houses were often dissolved by the British king. A fifth reason is that the coloniesÕ grievances have been repeatedly ignored by the British king.
