2) Geography and Terrain: The vastness and ruggedness of the American terrain made it difficult for the British army to control and occupy the entire territory.

3) Leadership: The Americans were led by a group of gifted military and political leaders including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson.

4) Patriot's cause: Many Americans were deeply committed to the cause of liberty and independence and the willingness to sacrifice for it.
