What were the advantages of the British and American armies in the Revolutionary War?

The British were better equipped and severely outnumbered the colonial militias. The American armies, however, had to fight a defensive war. This helped them secure the advantage, and also allowed them to attack the Brits at will. The latter was known as guerrilla warfare, which took the Brits by surprise and led to countless casualties.

How was the war won at yourktown?

In the American Revolutionary War, the British army had the American Army at the end of the cape with their backs against the sea. Then an army sent by General Greene attacked the British Army from the rear. The remains of the British Army escaped to Yorktown. General Lafayette penned down the British Army in the town of Yorktown. They were joined by the French Fleet and a French Army from the Caribbean. At that point Lafayette had all he needed to win the battle and make the British surrender. Instead, he sent word to General Washington. Lafayette wanted to make it obvious that the British had surrendered to the Americans. Washington marched his army from New York to Yorktown as did Rochambleau. During the night They captured British redoubts. They hauled French long range cannon to the redoubts. From there they blew the British artillery to bits. Then the American and French artillery began pounding the British position. The artillery stopped as American and French forces prepared to attack. Instead, the British waved a white flag of surrender. The British surrendered to Washington.
