Why did the British find it easier to capture American cities rather than American countryside?
There were more people living in the cities and they were more unprepared. In the country, men (and some women!) used guerrilla warfare successfully. Ethan Allen, Francis Marion, Nathan Greene, and Daniel Morgan led the forces which defeated the British in this way.

Why do you thinck the british found it easier to capture the American cities than to tack over the American countryside?
The British found it easier to capture American cities because these urban areas were more concentrated in terms of population, resources, and infrastructure, making them strategic targets for control. Cities often had established loyalist support, which facilitated British operations. In contrast, the vast and rugged American countryside presented logistical challenges, including difficult terrain, dispersed populations, and a lack of reliable supply lines, making it harder for British forces to maintain control over rural areas. Additionally, the countryside was home to a more resilient and mobile patriot population, which could utilize guerrilla tactics against British troops.
Why do you think the British doing it easier to capture American cities than to take over the American countryside?
The cities contained more people loyal to the crown so to stay in the cities was much more pleasant for the officers. By 1777 the British maintained control only in the area around NYC. The countryside was more hostile and could not be subdued. British intelligence had severelyunderestimated civilian hostility and an army far from its supply base could not survive. In Philadelphia society enjoyed the officer's company for the winter, but the colony was no more loyal after the occupation than when the Americans controlled the city. The British presence alienated neutral citizens and converted them to the fight. Also the countryside was more apt to practice guerrilla type war than the classical type that the British troops were trained in.
