Best Answer

The Americans had several advantages. They fought on their own land, while British had to bring troops and supplies from thousands of miles away. The siege of Yorktown showed how the British depended on support from the sea. When their ships were blocked, the British troops were without support. The British succeeded in occupying cities, but had trouble controlling the countryside. The Patriots, however, knew the local terrain and where too lay an ambush.
