The biggest advantage was communications. They didn't have to wait weeks for orders to come across the Atlantic. Certainly knowledge of the immediate area was valuable in the various attacks.
By the time new orders had set sail from Britain to America it was weeks before the orders made it to America and by that time the orders were pointless and out of date.
Also another big advantage was the French,they were crucial to America,they also did most of the work. Americas other allies were the Spanish and the Dutch.
Britain was fighting 3 other major wars at the same time as the Revolutionary War, Napolean and the French Empire,Mongol Empire,Japanese Empire, these 3 other wars had everything to lose and everything to gain for the British Empire, the Revolutionary War didnt have anything for the British Empire to gain as America was to young of a country, so Britain surrenderd, signed the peace treaty,then went on to fight its 3 other major wars,wich the British won.
Also helpfull was the land size of America,Britain had an extremely powerfull military the most powerfull in the world as they had taken over and ruled more of the world than anyone else in history but at the time was very small in man power, they captured and took control of all habours and everything near the water line with its vast Navy and just inside the water line, but they didnt have enough troops to leave there to take control of captured areas and move further inland to capture more land. as soon as they captured land further inland the American citerzens would just reclaim it once the British had moved on,making holding land in the middle of America more difficult.
Another big advantage for America was, in Europe when you captured a countries capital city the War was declared over, the British captured and took North America and New York ,Philadelphia etc etc, but the war just continued regardless.
