[A Theist]

All of this a lesson that would not be fully appreciated until centuries later.

-Do not engage the indigenous in asymetric warfare far removed from your lines of supply without adequate means to replace casualties faster than they can be incurred. I have to give a nod to the British in this as well, in the end, their troubles with the colonies just weren't worth as much as it cost them. If the British wanted to legitimately crush the States at any point in the first hundred years or so of their existence, if they were committed to doing so completely, they could have easily done so. I guess it just wasn't topping any lists of priorities.

Two separate wars on two fronts, one front in Europe fighting Napolean and the other here in the states, had put a big drain on the British treasury as well as on their military resources. The war had become unpopular in Britain and it just wasn't feasible for them to continue the war here. The tide of the war had turned against them. It became too costly and they were fatigued.
