Their was brutal treament of soliders. One solider was lashed 800 times for striking an officer. Their was also no urban nerve center to conquer.

The colonists also have strong points. They were fighting defensively during the war. They also had a moral advantage because they were fighting for a positive goal which was freedom. They had a great diplomatic leader who was Ben Franklin and the European Imports leaders were Lafayette and Kosciuzko. Also luckly for the colonist, Great Brtain had second-rate generals and the British needed a clear victory to win back control because a draw would be a victory for the colonists.
