There are several reasons why the Americans were able to win their freedom in the Revolutionary War. One big reason is that the war was unpopular in Britain . The Colonists had gained a lot of sympathy with the British parliament before the war started. Further, the war was expensive and the British were also fighting in India at the same time. Some of the soldiers on the British side were German mercenaries who were happy to desert in exchange for land. The Americans also got help from France and Spain, primarily on the high seas.

Another important fact is the Americans were fighting at home where as the British had to travel some 4000 miles in small sailing vessels to get to America. Many had friends and relatives in America and no real incentive to fight Americans. They had little to lose if they surrendered and went back home or settled on their own land in America.
