First of all, the British underestimated the ability of Americans to fight. Second, the Americans were on home turf. They knew their way around, and knew the best tactics for fighting were not simply standing out in the open. Third, the Americans had a cause to fight for. If they were to lose, they would not have just lost a war, they would have lost their freedom and everything they had been working for. Those are just a few... there are many more out there.
