American revolutionary war

There were several reasons that enabled the Americans to win the Revolutionary War. First, the Americans were fighting for independence and had knowledge of the land on which the war took place. To many British at home, the war was not popular because it seemed that it was a sort of civil war with Englishmen fighting Englishmen. The British government had to hire foreign soldiers to help with the war effort (Hessians). The British were fighting 3,000 miles from home, thus creating a supply problem.
