Many Southern Loyalists did not provide the expected level of assistance, while the Patriots were able to mobilize local militias effectively against British forces. Additionally, logistical challenges and overextended supply lines hindered the British army's ability to maintain control and respond to guerrilla tactics employed by American forces.

The patriot victory that effectively ended the American War of Independence was the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. American and French forces, led by General George Washington and General Rochambeau, surrounded British General Cornwallis's troops. The British surrender on October 19, 1781, marked a decisive turning point, leading to negotiations that ultimately resulted in the Treaty of Paris in 1783, formally recognizing American independence.

The British general who misjudged the Patriots at the Battle of Bunker Hill was General William Howe. Underestimating the resolve and fortifications of the colonial forces, Howe led a frontal assault that resulted in significant British casualties, with over 1,000 troops lost. Despite ultimately capturing the ground, the heavy losses highlighted the determination of the Patriot fighters and boosted their morale.
