The same thing that's happened to the US in Vietnam.
The British army was fighting a war thousands of miles away from home. The soldiers had no real attachment to the land, and were not familiar with it. The Americans however, were fighting for their homestead, and knew the ground. Home-team advantage, and they simply wanted it more.
The political mood in the UK at the time was one that the US colonies were not worth committing to a major conflict for. We were to busy worrying about the french and spanish. We wanted to keep the land, but were willing to let it go. After the US gained independence, which country signed loads of trade deals with it?? The UK.
Quite simply, the US Army and militia had a home field advantage and they wanted it. Also, the British government did not consider the war a war worth fighting.
