The colonists, or rather, the Patriots, won due to one major factor: the George Washington effect. The first battle between the Red coats and the Patriots ends with the defeat of the Patriots in New York.

American colonists revolted against the British government for independence. This war began after Britain’s victory during the French and Indian War. With this victory, came the expansion of the British Empire.

The British were also outnumbered by the French and American troops. Eventually, General Cornwallis sent out the white flag and surrendered. The Patriot victory at Yorktown effectively ended fighting in
