The sheer supremacy of the British military force was more than capable of expeditiously suppressing an amateur rebellion and successfully restoring the insurgent colonies to their innate allegiance. Until Washington finally adopted a defensive strategy at the fortress of Harlem Heights, the British undoubtedly had a significant military leverage over the Americans; therefore, if Lord Germain’s [Germain] strategy were properly employed, the British should have won. Germain informed General William
