Their "redcoats" made good targets for the colonial militia! Many of the redcoats were hired mercenaries that really didn't care who won. They did not know the area and their supplies mostly had to come from England but they were capable of stealing from the land owners or getting some supplies from friendly local people that supported them. They fought as the Europeans fought, not like the patriots who would shoot from behind bushes.
