Even if the number of American Loyalists is taken at a lower estimate, the total number of troops under British command (including German troops) would have been slightly larger than the Continentals. However, these forces were widely scattered from Canada to Georgia. So either side might have fielded locally superior numbers at any given time or place.
At the outbreak of fighting in 1775, there were fewer than 40,000 troops available to the British, but the number was increased by conscripts and by Hessians provided by George III's uncle, Frederick II. As the war went on, the colonial militias gained strength in manpower and supplies, and eventually prevailed.
