Because the poor semi united clonists were completely united in the vision of being free from the most powerful nation in the world. Perhaps, more importantly, the most powerful nation in the world made the most powerful mistake that can be made - never underestimate your adversary. Underestimation of the abilities of the other has been the downfall of every empire since the dawn of time, and may I add, quite a few over confident fellows as well.
