One reason is that after the French and Indian War, Britain was in debt, because it had spent so much money on the war. Because they needed money, they taxed the colonists, which led to the colonists disagreeing with the unfair taxation, which led to riots and tension between the colonies and Britain, which led to many conflicts, eventually resulting in th Revolutionary War.
There was not a winning and a losing side in the Boston Massacre. Five Colonials died, and the soldiers were tried in civil court. Two were found guilty of manslaughter. But it was not a win nor a defeat. It was just a moment in history.
The Americans were able to surround the British at Yorktown the British could not escape by boat because the French had blockaded the harbor. And Lord Cornwallis of the British was forced to surrender after long days of fighting.
At the start of the Revolutionary War, the British were generally seen as the stronger force, possessing a well-trained army, a powerful navy, and substantial resources. The American colonies, on the other hand, were largely untrained and lacked a cohesive military strategy. Despite these disadvantages, the colonists were highly motivated and committed to their cause, which gradually allowed them to gain momentum as the war progressed. Initial battles, such as those at Lexington and Concord, showed that the colonists could stand up to British troops, hinting at the potential for a protracted conflict.
The British army was much larger and better trained. However, it was also expensive and involved in other conflicts, and the colonists had the advantage of looking exactly like loyal British subjects when not actually aiming rifles at British soldiers.
Winning at Saratoga was crucial for the British as it represented a significant military setback during the American Revolutionary War. The American victory in 1777 not only boosted morale among the colonists but also convinced France to formally ally with the American cause, providing crucial support. This turning point undermined British strategies and shifted the balance of power in favor of the American colonies, marking a pivotal moment in the war.
The British were winning at the beginning.

"Island Hopping"
Yes, the two sides fought with the Americans winning. The British had set up 13 colonies and the people who went to live in the colonies were called colonists, and later to become Americans. The colonists claimed to have "No Taxation Without Representation" from King George III and British Parliament which was mainly the reason why the Americans wanted war with the British. The colonists who fought for America were called Patriots,or Rebels(later to be known as Americans) and the people from the colonies who sided with the British were called Tories, or Loyalists. After a 8 year long war the Continental Army,led by George Washington, had beaten the professional British and had become the United States of America.
