The Hessians fought with the British.
The use of nontraditional military tactics helped the patriots defeat the British. The British were not accustomed to the guerrilla tactics and were taken by surprise.
Advantage 1 - Americans knew the terrain, whereas generally the British did not. General Howe actually did know the terrain since he was on continent fighting against the French and the Indians twenty years before. However, Howe was off in New York for most of the war and the majority of guerilla warfare was fought in the Southern Colonies. Advantage 2 - Americans were used to fighting this way. Americans learned how to fight and disappear because the Indians used that tactic during the French and Indian War. The British were used to European Warfare which involved lining up with muskets and artillery across from each other and firing. Obviously guerilla warfare was exceptionally different. Advantage 3 - The Kentucky Long Rifle. Americans had rifles which spin the bullet from the chamber. This gives increased accuracy and range. This allowed specialized snipers such as Daniel Morgan's riflemen the ability to kill from long ranges accurately. The British came up with their answer to Morgan's riflemen but not until the very end of the war. Advantage 4 - The Americans grew up shooting these rifles from birth. They hunted for their food at night.
George Rogers Clark helped the Patriot cause by seizing British forts on the southwestern frontier.
The British, fresh from acquiring Canada from France, thought that they could exert their military might to retain the larger colonies on the American coast. The soldiers were a mix of conscripts and professional soldiers. The Hessians were soldiers drafted into service by their rulers in Germany, and were "rented out" to Britain.
