The American colonies rebelled against their lawful government, so the British did not regard themselves as being 'at war'. They were quelling a rebellion and fighting terrorism. They knew didn't have the resources to stop American secession in the long term, especially as the Dutch and French took the opportunity to wage war in Europe, so the fight was somewhat half-hearted on the British side. Many, if not most, 'Americans' were British emigrants, after all.

Could the American War of Independence have been avoided?
No I personally couldn't have but... It is completely hypothetical but some say, yes, the war could have been avoided. It is important to note that the Revolutionary War had its roots back a century to the Glorious Revolution of England, when King Charles I threatened to make New England a royal colony under his direct control. However over the next century, the English turned to a "salutary neglect" policy which left the colonies to govern themselves. You know the rest when King George attempted to recontrol and restrict the economy and government of the colonies in the 1760s and 1770s. This started the war. There are a few schools of thought of how King George could have regained control over the colonies without causing rebellion. 1. England could have continued its policy of "salutary neglect" and loosened its reign over the colonies, allowing them to become a sort of commonwealth. Hopefully, this would encourage loyalty to the crown, but it would have not been as profitable. 2. One radical thought is that England could have allowed partial independence to the New England colonies, where the rebellion began. After all, the South tended to be more sympathic to the English.
