What is an advantage Continental army had in the Revolutionary War?

Answer 1

During the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Army had a number of distinct advantages in its bid to fight off the British.

It is not generally appreciated, and certainly not shouted with pride, but the main advantage of the Continental Army was the large area of land over which it could retreat.
