The king underestimated the abilities of the American Colonists and failed to adequately supply British troops. Their tactics were also inadequate for the type of fighting that they encountered in the woods and hills of the American Colonies. The British military wanted to fight in "rank and file", as they had always done. For open fighting ground, that works well, but when the American Colonists were hiding behind every rock and tree, AND they knew the countryside far better than the British, there was almost no possibility that the King's soldiers could succeed in stopping the rebellion. The reality is, most of the colonists didn't want to cecede from the Commonwealth, but the King had decided to overtax and refused to provide anything back.
