The British army greatly outnumbered the Continental Army, with 80,000 troops fighting for them. Britain’s army was well prepared since its troops were well-trained. Since the army was around for hundreds of years, they fought in large battles and were well organized.
Foreign Land
Why is the ground so wet here? We need to find drier land to fight on.
The British had plenty of resources. Compared to the Washington’s miserable army, British soldiers rarely lacked food, weapons, uniforms, or gunpowder.
Far from home
I don't know, we've already waited 6 months.
Britain was a very wealthy nation, which meant that the army could get plenty of supplies and food. They had better equipment.
Unmotivated
Since Britain was fighting on American soil, they had a disadvantage. The British did not know the land that they were fighting on.
The British were so far away from their home land, which made it harder to get supplies, troops, and news on time.
When are the extra supplies getting here?
Troops were indifferent to the cause of the war, giving them no motivation to fight unlike the colonist who had a reason to fight.
